I think there can be extenuating circumstances.
If someone jumps on a grenade to save frens, that would be admirable and not sinful. Also I think about Samson pulling the pillars down on himself and the enemies.
That's self sacrifice and it's the most Christian thing one can do. Suicide is equal to murder because we don't own our life and bodies - they are God's gifts. Each person is an icon of Christ (we're made in His image) so if you kill yourself you're killing Him. Put that into perspective - each abortion is the murder of a tiny image-bearer of Christ. This is worse than Epstein and the satanic pdfs due to the massive scale of it (more than 250mil for the past 50 years). We are fucked beyond words and God will end it all soon.
I appreciate this perspective and I'm thinking on it, thank you. Perhaps my idea of being willing to die and cause that death makes me think of suicide as a technical definition.
Suicide is almost never the answer. Also sounds like death wishing, which we avoid here, just so you know.
Cross out "almost"

That's not suicide
How so?
