my point was that a "suicide" can be for noble reasons. .. hard to know a person thoughts...jumping on a grenade to save your platoon is heroic yet still suicide...and human judgment of "why" people do as they do is often flawed... What brings a person to give their life up is ultimately the person they have been created to be at that moment...AS GOD has created them. All things are out, through and for God..He kills and He makes alive... God "judgments" are just..not man's. God brings about all live and all death...ALL give an account for what they do to GOD...not to be eternally punished by HIM BUT to be made a new creation in HIM... we experience evil to know good ..we know good to know the Creator
My point is that it would not be suicide then... And that the two, giving your life for someone else vs taking your life for yourself, are not the same thing. I'm not even commenting on the morality of it. Simply saying they are not the same. That verse refers to only one of those acts.
su·i·cide /ˈso͞oəˌsīd/ noun
1. the action of killing oneself intentionally:
I know what you mean it is the intent ..God knows the heart God is the ONE creating it.. God is sovereign..He controls alll things. "suicide" included
