“The sinner was a thief, not a murderer.”
By this logic, suicides are also condemned as they premeditate and take their own lives.
You can get off your high horse regarding this.
Nope. Suicide is premeditated murder of a soul. Massada is a perfect example of this rule. They drew lots precisely because no one wanted to be the one to commit suicide. In fact, in some circles, the story is that Josephus was the one who was supposed to, but instead he ran away rather than commit suicide.
