We must not excuse the inexcusable.
Suicide is an inexcusable act that leaves a stain in society. In my time, what am I saying! I am still there fortunately, because I learned to take the bull called the existence by the horns.
Yes in my time, to talk about the years of my youth where the concept of religion rhythmed with morality. I will not say more as it is not the subject I will develop today.
Suicides were not entitled to religious funerals as it was considered outlawed.
Suicide is never a solution whatever the reasons for one’s failure, bankruptcy and disappointment in existence. The Bible, still the Bible and again the Bible that we do not know how to read it in order to be well versed in its understanding of the different Case studies about what life has reserved for us, which also constitutes some kind of jurisprudence, to speak the language of the lawyer, who wrote a letter full of excuses to justify this reprehensible act of a friend who arrived at this ultimate resolution.
The Bible is not a prayer book, but a jurisprudential book or all the cases and situations that we should face in the course of life.
The book of Job is the one that deals with how to emerge victorious from the worst calamities we may encounter. Moreover, in one of the chapters of this book, it is said that “Yet man is born of trouble, as the sparks fly upward.” Not only that the problem is posed, so also is the solution to be found in the Bible. We had not been able to decipher it because our religion guides had not made it understandable to us that the Bible only deals with situations that each of its characters are emulating just to help ease our passages during our pilgrimage on earth. That it necessitated various births and deaths before becoming this PERFECT MAN which should be molded without having to reinvent the wheel of human existence which remains the same, for all the generations of souls that will come at any time to master all aspects of the world. In the same chapter Job 8: 8, 9 will show you that we are not of today the same as Ecclesiastes who declares nothing is new under the sun. Until we meet the true and final death to the world which is the real and only purpose for which we have come to the world.
The Die only one time, does not means die only once, otherwise The Almighty God would have been an unjust One as far as the reckoning of what one sows. To arrive at perfection which is the ultimate goal, hence the state of Christ that everyone must arrived at so that the soul thus perfected, can complete his epic in the three-dimensional world.
Suicide. We must not excuse such behavior that will open the door to kamikaze and extremism.
By the way, the three friends of Job were not men but, symbolized the thought forms that crossed his mind during this moment of calamites as a test to see how sincere and faithful in God he was. His wife, who symbolized his greatest virtue, was almost shaken too. But he resisted.
This is how to understand the biblical texts.
I have already given much explanations of Good and Evil, Cain and Abel, on the Spiritual category.
I will dwell more on the story of Job and Moses, which are gordian knots.
I’ll give you some thoughts on Life. See next page.
