We struggle daily to live a righteous life without sin, and practice the act of unconditional love...in which Jesus Christ taught as his commandment. If we are to show unconditional love and pursue our goal of being more like Christ...what better way than to lay down ones for another as did our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. For Christ did not commit suicide, but instead gave us the gift of eternal life with his act of great "Sacrifice."

Why... anything done out of the context of good/ or Christ (which is the only good) is selfish. Now, I have call it the above, because we know how strong the human will is when it come to preservation of self. Very Strong!!! So it still takes something of a sacrifice to give your life for the preservation of another. However, we know how weak the human will is when the reality of Christ is replaced by human emotion. Very WEAK!!! So, I do believe that one who runs from human circumstance and does not fall into the arms of Christ, could very well be called Suicidial. Much Love.
