Rebellion driven suicide is when we know that God does not want us to kill ourselves, we know that we have the resources we need to resist the temptation, yet we say to God, “I’m going to abuse and destroy this amazing machine You built for me because I’m tired of being here and I have lost all respect for Your Authority.” Is this an honoring attitude? No, it’s rebellious and snarky. Where do we get off destroying God’s property and trying to force our way into eternity? Where do we get off telling the Creator of all things that we’re taking over the control of our existence?

Rebellion driven suicide is an attempt to dominate God by forcing Him to separate our souls from our bodies. In many cases, God just isn’t willing to play along with our games. This is when we find Him botching our suicide attempts. Often God even worsens our physical condition in an effort to drive us back into submission to Him. For example, there are many stories of people jumping off of bridges in an attempt to kill themselves, only to end up smacking the surface of the water so hard that they end up permanently crippled and unable to walk. When we view suicide as a guaranteed way to escape our current misery, we are being very foolish. God will not take orders from us. We will not leave this dimension until He decides it is time.
