Jesus would have committed Harakiri if the Romans refused to crucify him? I don’t think so. It’s a stretch to call Jesus’ death “suicide”.
I don’t think a sacrificial death (i.e., giving your life to save others) falls within the definition of “suicide.”
Jesus didn’t commit suicide anymore than a soldier who throws himself on a grenade to save his fellow troops commits suicide. Anymore than a husband who shields his wife from bullets commits suicide.
God man, show some common sense.
Bs. He was arrested and whipped to the point of collapse. Others in the crowd carried his cross to Calvary.

Congratulations, you broke the internet with the unfathomable depths of your stupidity. Allowing oneself to die is not the same as pointlessly killing yourself.
(And yes, he did go to Hell, bearing all our sins, but conquered Hell.)
If Jesus committed suicide because he neglected to resist, then so did Peter, Paul, James, Stephen, and the remaining apostles other than John, etc., etc., etc. Perhaps, only the thief on the cross was in Paradise since Jesus would have to be in Hell. However, Jesus told the thief that he would be with Jesus in Paradise that night.
The characteristic of no resistance dominates through the New Testament. The sword, itself, symbolizes resistance and the vanquishing of the enemy. The weapon of a Christian, the sword of the Spirit, is the Word and the preaching of the Word. See the symbolism in Revelation where the sword is protruding from the mouth.
