BIBLICAL PERSPECTIVE: 3 STAGES WHY SUICIDE

Solomon's war in the time of peace was the elusiveness of life's meaning... he unofficially became the founder of nihilistic thinking...  the purveyor of existential philosophy In Nigeria suicide attempt is a criminal act with a one year jail term penalty, but it has not stopped people from trying and others from succeeding. March 19, 2017, a medical doctor jumped into his watery grave from the top of the Lagos Third Mainland Bridge. October 16, 2017, a Kogi State civil servant owed months of salary hanged himself on a tree after ten days his barren wife delivered triplets. Uk, June 11 last year, Ceri Sheehan , 15, took his own life than have his parents tore him apart from his iPad. All these leave us, the living, to ponder the rationale behind suicide as we try to deal with the loss. Why do people take their own lives? Does the Bible offer explanations?

RITES Vs RELATIONSHIPS III

What is our excuse for not having great relationships with unbelievers or fetish people at the workplace... The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to DO and TEACH .  Acts 1:1 A believer fully understands Lord Jesus’ teachings by juxtaposing how the Lord lived with what He preached. He wouldn't say we do things that Himself didn't practice.  He rebuked the Pharisees because they say, and do not . They lay heavy burdens on men’s shoulders that they wouldn’t dare touch with their fingers. A He described them as hypocrites for doing that. How Jesus lived in the circumference of His relationships became His doctrine on relationships. It is important because we are not greater than our master but we are expected to be like Him. We can’t pay a price greater than the Lord’s in our Christian walk. If we neglect this view we would unavoidably misinterpret the Lord's teachings.
