***Suicide is not a rational option for Calvinists because He forbids it. We know that God will bring us home when He decides it is time. While on earth, one of the primary needs of the Christian is to serve Christ. When that service is complete, our need is to be with our loving God, so He brings us home.***
Philippians 1 says to live is Christ and to die is gain. Paul answered his own question and desire here. His desire was to be with God, but God’s need was for him to be here.
Excellent point.
