Did Jesus Commit Suicide? by Ferruccio(m): 8:43pm On Dec 06, 2016
Jesus Christ foreseen his betrayal and death. If someone allows their self to be killed, like sitting on the railroad tracks, when they could get up and leave, are they in retrospect committing suicide?

NO!!! angry Would you call it suicide if a criminal submits himself to be hanged? Now Jesus was no criminal but He submitted Himself to such death because your sins were laid on Him! What have you done with this knowledge?

Jesus didn't commit suicide.. it was his love that kept him on the cross because his death was the necessary sacrifice required to appease His Father.


It was just 3 nails afterall.

He submitted himself? K. Great. Is it suicide, or not suicide If I sit in my car after it stalls on the railroad tracks and allowing the train to hit me?

Here was One Who had no sin. His accusers had to shop for false witnesses, the majority cry was that He should be killed,and He refused to fight for Himself. This scenario, sir, is not comparable to the one you just described of yourself in a car.

Sorry for deviating; why is only the HolySpirit called spirit and also bears the appellation holy?

Are Jesus and God not spirits as well as holy?

Is the holyspirit more holy than two of them?

Help my confusion please.

keyword here is "Know", a criminal that surrenders himself would still be given a fair trial and might have his/her sentence communed to life sentence, or even better basically there's a "chance" albeit slim that he might still not be killed

Police and other forces for instance usually use the words "Surrender yourself to the law and you'll be given a fair trial, your surrender can help your case in the court of law" I at least see that a lot in American films with the police using megaphone to communicate cheesy

Jesus however KNEW he would be killed

the keyword here is still "know" for sure without any doubt in your mind, 100% sure you'll be killed and still go ahead is "suicide by proxy"

By refusing to fight for himself, and by choosing not to use divine power to save himself, he effectively committed suicide allowing himself to be killed.

save Himself? Using Divine power? Well, He came not to destroy men's lives but to save hence anything that will result in death of any man could not be done.

What if he is not given a fair trial? Jesus was accused by false witness y'know! And unfortunately, the clamor of the multitude was for His death!

Not after a sentence has been given. This scenario you gave, Jesus surrendered to the mob that came to arrest Him.

What? Why is everybody overlooking the fact that the assizes already wanted Him dead and that was the purpose of all the charade trial? You sound as though it was a normal court proceeding when actually the case had been decided before the arrival of the Accused to court

Is it necessary for the Messiah to die? If yes then all those witnesses are saints not false witnesses. The majority cry for him to be killed is actually a cry for liberation. Or what do you think?

He knew he won't be given a fair trial, he knew they'll clamour for him to be killed

the "unfortunately" part is non sequitur because he "knew"

knowledge is the word here, a thief or serial killer still has a chance albeit slim of not serving capital punishment

Not after a sentence has been given. This scenario you gave, Jesus surrendered to the mob that came to arrest Him.

because he knew the time has come to commit suicide by proxy

nothing happened that Jesus didn't know would happen

a criminal however has his limitations and cannot be 100% sure he'll be sentenced to death no matter how grave his offenses are because he can't see the "future"

He who sends a message by the hand of a [a]fool cuts off the feet [of satisfactory delivery] and drinks the damage.(D)

7Like the legs of a lame man which hang loose, so is a parable in the mouth of a fool.

8Like he who binds a stone in a sling, so is he who gives honor to a [self-confident] fool.
