It's wrong to commit suicide, however, the bible says Jesus was the incarnation of God. So if Jesus was God, and he purpously died on the cross, regardless of the reason, then is Jesus/God not a suicide, therefore, breaking his own rules?

Detail Added: Cute. Someone said facts and bible in the same sentence. Sorry, but even scholar's agree the bible is a work of fiction, as there is no proof. Try again!

There are not any hidden factors or closed and inaccessible solutions in Holy Bible. There are purely closed minds which at the on the spot are not keen to carry close the actuality. apparently you taken no time beforehand to study Bible, subsequently you've a number of those questions now. even if, Adam and Eve been created by using God. The snake (Satin assume that position) become an Angel who's follen lengthy earlier Adam and Eve. One God day will be a year or extra and any opposite direction round, yet this has not something to do with people lived that factor. idea did not have had calendars they could completely distinguish between day and evening. once you've an open concepts, please do pray to God to teach you the actuality and then examine the Bible. you'd have the ability to comprehend each and every thing. understand that the unique Bible become written in Greek not in any unknown or forgotten language as yet for each thing written interior the Holy e book, there is residing proove all of us can comprehend.

No where in the bible does it say Jesus was the incarnation of God. In fact, Jesus and God the father aren't even the same person. They are only the same in purpose, as is the Holy Spirit. Jesus did not kill himself. In Fact, in the garden of Gethsemane he asked his father in heaven to please let it pass if it were possible. Showing that He really wasn't real big on it happening but was willing to go through with it if it was his Father in heaven's will.

First, Jesus is God's Son and his resurrection was guaranteed ~
No permanent harm, like "a bruise in the heel" (Jesus)
compared to
the "crushing of one's head" (Satan's) all foretold in the very first prophecy
recorded @ Gen 3:15 , soon to be completely fulfilled
No contradiction for those who've studied the Bible ...
In fact that's why Satan is causing woe on the earth!
He KNOWS that GOD will Crush (destroy) him soon.
Also, the demons know, and therefore 'shudder' (James 2:19)
At least THEY know their fate.
Most people are too busy looking for loopholes to find the truth

That is a good one I think It was first bought up around 200 AD by the Gnostics. The answer is very complicated and basically it has to do with the difference between SUICIDE and SACRIFICE. Would you say that someon who jumps on a grenade to save 5 of his friends is Suicide? Or would you call it Sacrifice? Would you tell his wife that he commited suicide or would you tell the World he was a HERO who saved your life?

Nice try. But you already know enough to phrase the question as you did, so I suspect that you know the answer, and maybe you want an excuse to not believe.
John 10:17-18
"For this reason the Father loves Me, because I lay down My life so that I may take it again. [18] "No one has taken it away from Me, but I lay it down on My own initiative. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it up again. This commandment I received from My Father."
Matthew 16:21
From that time Jesus began to show His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised up on the third day.
1 Thes. 2:14-16
For you, brethren, became imitators of the churches of God in Christ Jesus that are in Judea, for you also endured the same sufferings at the hands of your own countrymen, even as they did from the Jews, [15] who both killed the Lord Jesus and the prophets, and drove us out. They are not pleasing to God, but hostile to all men, [16] hindering us from speaking to the Gentiles so that they may be saved; with the result that they always fill up the measure of their sins. But wrath has come upon them to the utmost.

First of the Bible doesn't say that Jesus is God. He isn't. And he died as a sacrifice to replace the animal sacrifices for atonement of sins so NO. While he was willing to let the Romans have at him, since it was God's will, he didn't kill himself or commit suicide... they killed him.

Would you then say that a soilder that goes to war and is captured and dies has committed suicide? No he was willing to die for a cause. Christ died so that we could have life everlasting. A soilder that goes to war knows he is likely to come into battle. He knows he may die and is willing to do that. Christ knew he would die for our sins. He did it because of his great love for us. He became our sacrifice for sins we committed.
It is my prayer that people are not looking to "find things wrong in the Bible" To prove it wrong - But that we seek God and the Holy Spirit to reveal the truth that is in God's word and realize that some things were "said but someone even though it may not line up with what God says. Example - 20. Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshipped,
Job 1:
21. 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.
It is true that Job said this. It is what he felt. But God says...
John 10:
10. The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
The thing is Job lived in Fear that his children would sin against God and therefore did sacrifices daily so they would be forgiven. This was a big factor. He lived in Fear and even Job said in
Job 3:
25. For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me.
26. I was not in safety, neither had I rest, neither was I quiet; yet trouble came.
Instead of trying to find fault in people and churches and the Bible we need to seek truth and understanding.

No it is not wrong to commit suicide, when someone commits suicide we have to ask why? What was the root of the problem to cause them to resort to this? Well sometimes one can bury his own grave with his actions or lack of actions.... God won't condemn someone who is in pain in their heart, and only God can look into that mans heart and see if he truly loved God, loved others as he would himself. Well he didn't do harm to anybody so he didn't violate the law of love. God looks at the heart not what we do or don't do.
