[Ladysmith]

I'd have to look closer at each of your examples but my gut reaction says each one of them (with the exception of Samson) were not men of God. Saul definitely was rejected by God and gave in to despair.

Samson's true intention was to destroy the Philistines which meant he had to sacrifice himself to do so. Hardly suicide. It's no more suicide than a soldier covering a grenade about to go off with his body in order to protect his fellow soldiers.

Suicide is the ultimate rejection of God. To say otherwise is dangerously misleading.

You are correct on Samson Ladysmith, Samson laid down his life, like the soldier.

To lay down ones life for another is the greatest form of love.

As with all things (like lust or hate) Christ looks at the heart.

I heart of selfishness without opportunity to repent will be treat as such.

Saul was rejected by God and all his actions after that should be viewed in that light. God need not point out the fact that Saul ended his life in one last act of arrogance and selfishness.
