RE: Suppose that willingly taking your own life is, in fact, self-murder or suicide. Does that not also mean the soldier who falls upon a live grenade has willingly ended his own life? Entering into any act, for a noble cause or deed, knowing your life will end, is by definition, suicide.
Maybe we ought to remind ourselves that Jesus Christ Himself, although He could have avoided it, willingly laid down His life on the cross for us.
You wouldn’t call that a suicidal mission would you?
That’s one of the reasons why I believe it’s all relative...
Not in my mind.
Just wondering aloud about the murky areas we confront each day.
Since the Creator knows all, intimately, could exiting this world by our own hands and means be a fulfillment of the Creator’s will?
This weekend, when I have a full pot of coffee, I’ll likely sit out and ponder some more with the limited intellectual faculties He blessed me with.
Cheers!
