Suicide is a grave sin equivalent to murder (Exodus 20:13; 21:23), but it can be forgiven like any other sin. And Scripture says clearly that those redeemed by God have been forgiven for all their sins – past, present, and future (Colossians 2:13-14). Paul says in Romans 8:38-39 that nothing can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus. So if a true Christian would commit suicide in a time of extreme weakness, he or she would be received into heaven (Jude 24). But we question the faith of those who take their lives or even consider it seriously – it may well be that they have never been truly saved. I say that because God’s children are defined repeatedly in Scripture as those who have hope (Acts 24:15; Romans 5:2-5, 8:24; 2 Corinthians 1:10, etc.) and purpose in life (Luke 9:23-25; Romans 8:28; Colossians 1:29). And those who think of committing suicide do so because they have neither hope nor purpose in their lives. Furthermore, one who repeatedly considers suicide is practicing sin in his heart (Proverbs 23:7), and 1 John 3:9 says that “no one who is born of God practices sin.” And finally, suicide is often the ultimate evidence of a heart that rejects the lordship of Jesus Christ, because it is an act where the sinner is taking his life into his own hands completely rather than submitting to God's will for it. Surely many of those who have taken their lives will hear those horrifying words from the Lord Jesus at the judgment – “I never knew you; depart from me, you who practice lawlessness” (Matthew 7:23). So though it may be possible for a true believer to commit suicide, we believe that is an unusual occurrence. Someone considering suicide should be challenged above all to examine himself to see whether he is in the faith (2 Corinthians 13:5).

INSTRUCTIONS

OMELETTE
Wash the rice well and put into 11/4 pints of water. Bring to the boil and
cook, covered, for 10 minutes. Stir and cook for a further 5 minutes until
tender, then allow to cool. If it is still sticky, rinse the rice under the
hot tap. Beat 2 eggs in a bowl and add a pinch of salt and the sesame oil.
Heat some groundnut oil in a wok, add the egg mixture and cook, stirring,
until the egg has set. Remove from the wok and allow to cool, then chop
coarsely and set aside.
Reheat the wok, add the olive oil and some groundnut oil, then add the
chilli, garlic, ginger and peppercorns. Stir fry for 30 seconds then add
the rice and continue frying until the rice is warmed through. Then add the
sun-dried tomatoes, spring onions, chives, yellow pepper and chopped herbs.
When everything is heated through, stir in the chopped egg. Keep the
mixture warm.
Omelette: beat the eggs with salt, water and the chilli. Heat the groundnut
oil in a wok, making sure the surface is well covered. Pour in a quarter of
the beaten egg mix and swirl around to make a large sheet of egg, as even
as possible. Cook over a low heat until almost set. Place a little of the
stir-fried rice (but not a quarter) in the centre of the omelette and fold
in the edges, envelope fashion, to enclose the rice. Set aside and keep
warm.
Repeat three times with the rest of the egg mix. Divide the rice equally on
to four plates, top each portion with an omelette and drizzle with light
soy sauce. Serve immediately.
