Is suicide against God's law or church law? Jesus knew the Romans would kill him so doesn't that make it suicide?

I don't think so, I believe that suicide is an act of self abandonment that serves no purpose beyond the self. Now the christian church desided that if you comit suiside, you have abandoned God and there by forfit your abillity to be forgiven. Where as a self sacrificial act is on where a person sacrifices them self for the good of others. I personaly don't believe in Yeshua's(Jesus) divinity beyond anyone elses, but the act of self sacrifice could be throwing ones self on a grenade in order to protect thier superior officer or forcing a hijacker-pilot to crash in the forest rather into a city where manny would die. In any case, I believe such an act is rewarded after this life.

If you commit suicide, you stay dead, right? Jesus, on the other hand, was raised on the third day to live forever as part of the Trinity, from which He came. See John 11:17-18 where He states that He has the authority to "lay down His life, and then take it back up again" and THAT is not suicide!

There is NO such book as the book of judas......Jesus knew what was about to happen to Him, and willing gave Himself a sacrifice for our sins.....He submitted to the governing authority.
How many times are people gonna ask this silly question?

Judas did not help Jesus turn himself in.Judas betrayed Jesus. Jesus said he would before he ever did it.Study some more.Listen to what the bible says,not what man says.

The book of Judas also says "Jesus" was a space alien who "possessed" the man Jesus and death was his way of getting "out" of the man when his mission was accomplished.
It's kooky if you ask me.
