The
Bible and Suicide
Suicide
is mostly contemplated
in distress, hardship, anxiety. But, no doubt, this hardship may also
be
as 'the trying' of Christ on your person - if so,
you, no doubt,
will know it: for he will let you know it.
MAT 10: 21 And
the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the
child:
and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to
be put to death.
MAT
10: 22 And
ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth
to
the end shall be saved. Enduring meaning not
turning away from
Christ, not turning to evil, give-in to Satan, but stay in God's house
forever - with his commandments.
Indeed, the Gospel does not
prohibit suicide, it forbids 'Murder'. You can not murder your self,
but
only 'Kill' your self. Lukewarm Christian opinion on the
matter does
not count - but only Christ's... and he
never mentioned
it.
We now must:
Define
Murder:the unauthorized
killing of a creature, men or beast ( a creature with a soul (blood),
not
plants ).
Define
Killing: the
putting to death of a living creature: chickens, beef, pork, men in
self-defence
without intend to kill, save if we absolutely have no choice, as that
would
still not be murder.
Define Authorized Killing:
killing authorized by God. We can kill all beast for our need or our
protection,
but not murder them (kill them for the sake of killing), due to the
commandment
"Thou shalt do no murder".
Define
Unauthorized Killing:
no killing animals for the sake of a shoot and leaving them to rot, but
eat them or give to somebody to eat or use their fur for our need for
else
this would be murder.
Now if we feel life is too
heavy on us and we want to end it then, if we kill our
selves, our
live belonging to us, we did not commit murder as that is not possible;
'self-killing' is not murder and God, like with masturbation, did not
prohibit
it. And did we then ' persevere unto the end
'? We actually
did, for we did not turn from God and the truth, but remained in our
faith
and did not turn to Satan to solve our problems, but we choose
death.
So we persevered unto the end, though we called the end. It
would,
indeed, be a pity if you are not baptized to the remission of your
sins
- and you can then only hope for his mercy on the day of judgement.
Love
your neighbour like you love your self. Would you
like to suffer
in pain and misery, or would you prefer death? Did Christ prohibit
assisted-killing,
where the person, capable of making a choice, has chosen for
assisted-killing?
Surely, where the person cannot make such a choice, due to mental or
physical
inability, a Christian may make the choice for them, showing mercy on
the
sufferer - in the event the sufferer
would have Chosen
for for this anyway, were he capable.
...And The
Gates Of Hell Shall Not Prevail Against It
Through
the ages Catholics
and other Nicolaitans tried to defy the above quotation by Jesus,
oppressing
and murdering many, deceiving and misleading many more, but they have
not
and shall not prevail against 'His Church'.
