Here is what the Bible says about the act of taking one's own life. The word suicide does not occur in the Bible. Neither are there any laws relating to it. But the Bible does give several examples of suicide, including Saul and his armorbearer. Read 1 Sam. 31:4-5; Then said Saul unto his armourbearer, Draw thy sword, and thrust me through therewith; lest these uncircumcised come and thrust me through, and abuse me. But his armourbearer would not; for he was sore afraid. Therefore Saul took a sword, and fell upon it. And when his armourbearer saw that Saul was dead, he fell likewise upon his sword, and died with him. Read also about King Zinri. 1 Kin. 16:18-19: And it came to pass, when Zimri saw that the city was taken, that he went into the palace of the king's house, and burnt the king's house over him with fire, and died, For his sins which he sinned in doing evil in the sight of the LORD, in walking in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin which he did, to make Israel to sin. In the New Testament, Judas killed himself because of his shame and grief at betraying Jesus. Read Matt. 27:5-6-7: And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself. And the chief priests took the silver pieces, and said, It is not lawful for to put them into the treasury, because it is the price of blood. And they took counsel, and bought with them the potter's field, to bury strangers in. Human life is sacred, since we are created in GOD'S image Read Gen. 1:27: So GOD created man in his own image, in the image of GOD created he him; male and female created he them. When you take your life you kill a little bit of GOD.

GOD as the Creator has power over all existence. He alone should control life, whether it continues or stops. Read Job 1:21-22: And said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD. In all this Job sinned not, nor charged GOD foolishly.

And here is what GOD gave me on Suicide April 09, 1998. Any soul GOD collects receives a blessing to return to heaven, the true source. The blood of a lamb over the door symbolized the crucifixion. Easter and Passover are alike in some ways. Because Pharoah predicted the death of the first born, Moses declared the curse was placed upon the one who spoke the words, the Pharoah. So, those innocent ones returned to the "FATHER IN HEAVEN."

How does this relate to suicide? When GOD brings home the souls who fulfilled their destiny, they are within the body of GOD. They see through His eyes, feel through His heart, touch, smell and walk through GOD. They live through His mind. Everything holy they are of that same accord. All the beauty in heaven they see, the river of life, the fruit in the gardens, the golden streets. This is part of them. Even non-believers will experience the afterlife. They are still part of the golden cord of GOD, even though they didn't believe in GOD.

Their road is different from one in GOD'S service. They know there is no death, but the reality of a new experience and a different body. At the second coming, when the Christians are in the "NEW JERUSALEM", they will be outside. But what of the "SUICIDES" that are pre-meditated? If a person plans his own demise knowingly? They take their life because they are poor or blind, disabled, or have a lot of pain, or not able to fulfill a destiny given to them. That is the road they chose. All choose their destiny before they come to earth. All souls ever created by GOD want to experience life on earth.

The soul is always pure even the mass-murderer or Hitler or the most corrupt human being. They have free will, and if they choose the wrong road they pay at judgement day. "Thou shall not kill" also means oneself. Once one takes a life they sever themselves from the body of GOD. They cannot experience GOD. They have their spirit and memories of the past. They cannot see, hear, walk or smell. Their bodies are in the ground being consumed by maggots, and the rain washes it away. What does a "SUICIDE" have? Only memories and wonderment. They cannot speak or think, they are in limbo. They remember taking their own life and recall the death. The gold thread of GOD has been severed. They will arise on "JUDGEMENT DAY" and reach out for forgiveness. The spirit may wander for many years, meeting the demons of Satan.
