Religion taught us that suicide is absolutely bad. But, like many other things religion taught us, this too may not be true.

Personally, I think that there are cases when suicide should rather be encouraged. For instance, I think that terrorists kill people so much because the terrorists are fed up with life. They can't kill themselves because they are afraid to die and go straight to hell. So, they resort to killing others (ie. sending others to hell) instead. Don't you think that even God would prefer that these terrorists killed themselves instead of killing other people?

There are other cases where I think people were better if they killed themselves - like those guys eating grass to keep living. I mean we shouldn't let life humiliate us to certain levels.

What do you guys think? I need free spirits only to contribute.

Why not start by asking is hell a good or bad place, the answer you seek is right in front of you, since your argument is based on things that scripture said that could be questionable, we might as well consider going with all the equipment needed to build a bakery, also build a cold room with icecream productions and who said hell can't be any better

If you look at life, you'd notice that most people are afraid to dare great things. It's why only very few people achieve greatness. If you apply this to suicide, I can say that those who are courageous enough to kill themselves are greater heroes than those who are afraid to do so when it's expedient. What do you think about this?

I'd prefer we don't take on too many questions at once. Let the question about hell's existence be saved for another day to avoid derailing the topic. For now, let's presume that heaven and hell exist as our major religions teach.

BoyforJesus:
RAPTURE ALARM- Don't be left behind..
HEB 2-3. For how shall we escape, if we neglect so great SALVATION.
ARE YOU PREPARED FOR THE RAPTURE? 1Thess 4.16.17. For the Lord himself shall decend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God, and the dead in christ shall rise first, then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air, and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 1Cor.15.52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. The RAPTURE of the church is closer than ever, we are in the closing moments or final " times of the signs" before the Lord's appearance, it's important that you are ready for him. The question is; ARE YOU IN CHRIST? If you are, then you are one of the many the Lord is coming to receive unto himself. If you are not, make the decision now. The Bible says " .. Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he APPEAR THE SECOND TIME without sin unto salvation" Heb 9.28. Acts 1:9-11 tells us about his ascension into heaven. While the disciples stood, gazing in awe as he levitated, two angels appeared to them and said " This same Jesus, who has been received from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen him go into heaven. This is the reason we are preaching the gospel, the whole world needs to know that he is coming back again. He said in John 14:3 " I will come again and receive you unto myself, that where i am there ye will be also.
HAVE THE RAPTURE IN FOCUS. Live every day as one expecting the master, carry that consciousness in your heart at all times, Walk in love. Walk in righteousness and while you are getting yourself ready, help those around you to get ready as well, by preaching and teaching them God's word.
I had a RAPTURE dream in 2020 and in 2021. The first rapture dream i had was amazing, it was so real and mind blowing, and it strengthens my relationship with God. It was early in the morning at about 4am, i was in a dream, and then i saw Angels in the cloud kneeling, with their heads facing down, they were holding trumpets in their hands, and something like a big screen appeared in the cloud and the picture of Jesus was on it, fear griped me, and i said " father have mercy, father have mercy" and I woke up. It was so real, that same morning i opened my daily devotional, Rhapsody of realities, behold the topic that day was about rapture, i was amazed, what a coincidence. This was a confirmation of the dream i had. In 2021 i had another Rapture dream. I was in a crusade, as the ministering was going on, i heard a loud blast, immediately people appearances changed, and they disappeared suddenly, as the bible said, in a twinkle of an eye, and the crusade ground was empty, unfortunately i was left behind, strange fear entered me, and i woke up, I knelt down and asked God for mercy. My brothers and sisters, if you are not saved, please do it know. The cry you will cry when the saints are gone, please cry it now when the saints are still around. Pray for your soul, after RAPTURE there will be no mercy. Will you be able to face the Antichrist great tribulations?We are in a crucial time in God's calendar. More end times prophecies are happening more than ever before, living a sinful life is no longer fashionable, confess Jesus as the Lord of your life, tommorow might be too late, JUDGEMENT DAY IS COMING. Rev 20.12 ."And i saw the dead small and great stood before God; and the books were opened; and another book was opened, which is the book of Life, and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works".(15) And whosoever was not found written in the book of Life was cast into the lake of fire. HEAVEN IS REAL, HELL IS REAL. Choose where to spend enternity now. Matt.24.14 says, this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached to all the world for a witness, and then the end shall come. Through technology the gospel has been able to reached more than 80% of the world populations. This implies the coming of the Lord is close.Rev1.7 behold, he cometh with clouds, and every eyes shall see him, even those that pierced him, and all the nations of the world shall wailed because of him, even so Amen. Jesus is coming sooner than you ever think, the worst thing that could happen to a man is to die without accepting Jesus, there is no much time left, there are more end times prophecies happening in this generation, more than any other generation, the bible says in the last days, men's heart shall be failing them for fear,look at how fear has covered the world presently, kidnapping, killings here and there, one evil atrocity is been comited in every minutes, strange diseases everywhere, earthquakes etc.The bible says perilous times will come.Time has changed, life is not going to be as it were before. The Bible says, when you shall see all these things you should know that my coming is near. REMEMBER HELL IS A PLACE OF EVERLASTING TORMENT, there is no way of ever coming out, do not go there, do whatever you can, don't go there. REV.20.15 AND WHOSOEVER WAS NOT FOUND WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF LIFE WAS CAST INTO THE LAKE OF FIRE. Is your name in the book of Life? Value your spirit and your soul more than your mortal body,how many years are you going to live in this life compared to enternity in heaven or in hell. Even though you don't want to serve God for anything, serve him because you don't want to go to hell. everyday people are trooping in their thousands to hell (those that died without accepting Jesus while on earth). Make the decision, now that you still have breath in your nostril, for tomorrow shall be too late. Rom10.9-10 That if thou shall confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in thine heart, that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shall be saved.(10) For with the heart man believe unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. If you are not born again, pray this prayer, and mean it with your heart. DEAR LORD JESUS, COME INTO MY HEART, AND BE MY LORD, I BELIEVED YOU DIED ON THE CROSS FOR MY SIN, AND WAS RAISED FOR MY JUSTIFICATION, FORGIVE ME ALL MY SIN, AND WRITE MY NAME IN YOUR BOOK OF LIFE, IN JESUS NAME, AMEN. Congratulations if you just prayed that prayer of salvation. IF YOU MISS HEAVEN, IS YOUR FAULT. A word is enough for the wise.

Even the Bible says, "fear not" again and again. It also says that the just shall live by faith, not by fear. But you guys contradict these instructions by trying to enforce obedience through inspiring fear in people. Your Bible tells us not to fear, but you're all trying to make us fear. Why?

There is nothing wrong with suicide..it's one of the most honorable thing a human being can do ...If you are frustrated committing suicide is better than you becoming a serial killer or Kidnapper

So u guys are encouraging self murder

Okay, first of all, if you take your life you are doing the livers a little favour by making ensuring that those who lives have enough resources, I'm not going to preach to you about the good and bad side of suicide, the question is why suicide when you will eventually die, honestly whether you commit suicide or not, changing the date of your death by some extra or shorter time does not guarante any actual difference to the cosmos and it won't make much of a difference to God either.

Everyday people go to hell and so do people go to heaven, some major life choices are suicide but sugar coated into something else, like joining the army, space exploration, becoming a pilot, in fact the moment you took your first breath you'd eventually a suicide candidate. How long we live does not quite matter, whether we took our own lives or die of other means is inconsequential ince you dead you dead, goodluck if you eventually decide that suicide is the thing for you.

Otherwise on the other hand, why commit suicide and leave all of us suffering, in that case suicide attempts would be jailed and those who succeed will be shot in the brain

Thanks for being the only one who has attempted the question so far.

I don't think the Bible condems suicide

Samson, Jesus, Stephen, Saul etc

It's seems to me that the only people who see suicide as evil are
1: Wicked leaders who don't want their people to kill themselves else they would lack slaves.

2: Slaves who want to keep on living at any price.

Sucide is a bold step and I always acknowledge people who take it... I don't discourage sucide, sometimes it's the most honourable thing to do.

Another good attempt. Thanks. People can disagree also but with clear reasoning.

FarahAideed:

Everyone should have the courage to face reality, suicide is cowardice to me.

At some point, we all get broken, some sees suicide as the only way out while others push through and continue to push till they find their breakthroughs.

I don't discourage it but I see them as cowards

richmond500:

There is nothing cowardly about suicide man ..No coward can even go through with suicide , cowards will rather become serial killers than prick their own skin

richmond500:

Explain your point if you have any reason to back it up.

FarahAideed:

cowards are those who couldn't face the situation they find themselves and tries to escape.



there is nothing manly about suicide,

I like to discuss the concept of suicide, I had writen many thesis on that I can boldly tell you that suicide is not and shouldn't be looked at as a sin neither is it about courage or suffering, suicide is a sickness and an aspect of every advanced brained organisation, don't commit suicide every suicidal person out there you really want to live,

richmond500:
cowards are those who couldn't face the situation they find themselves and tries to escape, probably because they have been spoilt that reality seems a herculean task for them.

Suicide Is not about cowardice it is more

Sometimes life will give u a reason to quit, most times its so bad that u cry, but the strong always pick up the broken pieces and keep pushing while the weak and cowards give up.

Suicide is cowardice

We all have the right to live our life the way we want, sucide is not for cowards... It's for the courageous, it's for those who command death. Actually I'm not religious so I find the whole issue of hell as nothing.

No sane person commits suicide for fun, some commit because of carryover courses, some commit because their girlfriends left them, some commit suicide because things aren't going well with them.

If u commit suicide, it means u are going through tough times and giving up seems the easiest way out.

A wise man once said, tough times don't last, only tough people do, if u stick around, u may sumersault into a solution one day

So

You know nothing about suicide, it is not the poorest, nor the weakest nor the ones that suffers the most that commits suicide, there is more to suicide than we had been able to realise that's why you will see super rich people sometimes commit suicide, we will be able to help suicide victims if they realised that it is absolutely normal to want to commit suicide but whether we compete it or not will depend on grace

No one commit sucide for fun sir.... I agree... But like someone said earlier life always give us a chance, like an escape route and the choice is always for the life owner. The concept of sucide is more than going through hard times. It's more... It's about defeating that hard time... Death always win

Personally if I'm diagnose with any deadly disease I will rather kill myself than allow my family waste any money. That way I've defeat the body... Sucide is an honourable thing

having money doesn't mean everything is fine, anybody who commits suicide was facing a problem (keep terrorist out of this).

I have never seen a man that will say "omo this life too sweet abeg, make I just commit suicide just to see if the other life sweet like this"

Look the brain can not interpret good life, the brain must always trick you to hate why you are committing suicide for, you would see a bus driver, who would say, I had driven this bus for the past 20 years and today pulls a gun and shoot himself in the head not leaving any suicide note.

Whatever reason you committing suicide for must be translated as pain before your brain can process it, have you seen people commit suicide because of they spent all their lives chasing money and now they have so much money but no peace, look it is not about what or why you are committing suicide, see if today you wish to commit suicide because you are too beautiful or handsome your brain will associate all your negative outcomes to your beauties like, why always me, this attention is killing me at the end you leave a suicide not, that reads "Tired of this Beauty ".

Death is inevitable... Quickening it is Honourable... No one is always supposed to endure. Endurance is a choice.
