I have this classmate who's really weird and he told me once that suicide is "the gift", why? Ok it goes like this: he said that it is our right to choose who we want to be with, right? Right! (I said) And don't you think that choosing to be with your creator is something noble? I guess so (I replied)...therefore committing suicide for the reason of "choosing to be with your creator" is the best "gift" you can give for "him". Oh My God! he really gives me the creeps. Anybody else out there who thinks likewise? Or he just lacks a lot of attention?

Paul had the same feelings... as you read in Philippians 1:21-26
"For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain. But if I am to live on in the flesh, this will mean fruitful labor for me; and I do not know which to choose. But I am hard-pressed from both directions, having the desire to depart and be with Christ, for that is very much better; yet to remain on in the flesh is more necessary for your sake. Convinced of this, I know that I will remain and continue with you all for your progress and joy in the faith, so that your proud confidence in me may abound in Christ Jesus through my coming to you again."
So, you see... your classmate is in a way correct. However, no matter how much we may desire to be with the Lord, it is our duty to follow God's will more, and that will is for us to remain where the LORD puts us, not we put ourselves (suicide), and witness to His Love.
I hope you can understand this, and explain it to your classmate, too!
Have a blessed day.

The Creator gives Life
satan kills, steals and destroys
so goes suicide (self-murder)
If you Believe in Jesus, you will never die
If you want to Leave your Body on Purpose
Without committing suicide (harming your Body)
Then: Pray in Tongues about 6 to 8 hours a day for about a Week
you should be Built Up Enough to Leave your Body on Purpose and go on to Heaven
without Harming your Body
p.s. Jesus might not let you Stay and Send you back!

Look I'd talk personally to your parents and also to your school principal, and report this. No matter how creepy it sounds, this classmate may be looking for an approval by students around him to commit suicide and take some of you at your school who agreed with him. Only just last week in America a kid walked in a school and shot teachers and students and killed himself also another two American students were found with guns and lists of students and teachers they planed to shoot in there class. Your not being a tattle tale by reporting this it might save you, your friends and other students lives (deluded with the thought of taking you all to heaven with him). People who talk about suicide are only looking for approval to plan this on himself or to others, as you agreed with him you might right now be one of his victims on his suicide list. Take this very seriously mate and not as just a joke. Your parents and Principal will agree once you tell them and get some help for this student so report it now.

suicide is murder, and can not be repented because the sinner has died. if you want to be close to god do good works on earth, help people. (and try not to use the lords name in vain OMG)
