I guess what I was alluding to was that if Jesus had the choice, would he have chosen the capsule option and was it necessary to die the way he did. Then again it was a public display and his fore knowledge of his impending doom has me contemplating that this was a suicide to teach a lesson of forgiveness with regards the sinners. Yes, he had the choice to live.
So simply then make a statement and be remembered the modern version might be aligned to death by cop shooting. This is miles away from the death of Jesus but I simply draw the parallel.
Please feel free to offering your opinion further. Loves you all at Rogue,

Suicide by cop, and the likes, is putting yourself in a position, to delibarately, generate a resulting death. The goal was to injure yourself, with the prize being death.
If a person steps in front of a speeding vehicle to protect others from harm, some would see that as a suicide move. I would see it as a sacrifice.
One is a move with the sole purpose of ending one's own life. Without regard of how it may impact others.
The other is a move with the purpose of preserving life, at the expense of your own life. With total regard of how it may impact others.
Entering into a situation that is likely to assure death as an outcome, is suicidal, if death is the only goal.
If the preservation of life is the goal, then I can't see it as suicide.
For every one person that read this post. About 7.99 billion have not.
Yet I still post.
