wildchildenchanted asked: I think your answer to the suicide question is misleading- the Bible says "thou shalt not kill" because it is one of the highest forms of pride to take matters of life and death into our own hands- even if it in the case of one's own life. Suicide is also the apex and product of despair, a grave sin. Obviously we worship a Lord of mercy and love, but I think it is misleading to say that the Bible does not explicitly address suicide because it creates the implication that it is acceptable.
This is true.
