I distinctly remember commenting on this to the effect that John Frame, noteworthy theologian, treats suicide like any other sin: forgivable, covered by the blood of Christ. He relates the story of a friend of his who struggled with that temptation and finally gave into it, but he has no doubt he was a born-again Christian and will be there in heaven. I don’t know where my comment went, but there’s that, for what it’s worth…

I appreciate the thoughts here on death and would like to see a follow-up on your thoughts on the topic of suicide. As you know, we recently lost “one of our own” professing brothers to a terrible death. This is worth considering. How does the believer reconcile God’s sovereignty and the suicide of a professing believer. There are some excellent historical anecdotes to consider and, I have my thoughts, but look forward to yours.

Good to hear, Caleb. I agree with what you said, but wanted to note the other aspects of a Christian perspective on death.

You hit the nail straight on the head my friend.
