Incorrect — we were not His friends, but His enemies.
(Romans 5:10)
For if, while we were God's enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life!
This is what makes it (the actions of God, in the Person of Christ) so much more astounding.
Suicide is not a sin, when an individual chooses to sacrifice his life to save others, such as a soldier in battle.
We agree here.
When a person takes his life for any other reason, he is breaking the commandment “thou shalt not kill.”

Perhaps; but I was not commenting on Mr. Williams's actions, but the assertion that suicide is sin.
Suicide is sin. Self sacrifice is love.
The two are extremely different, and it’s very easy to know which is which.
