On a serious note, most denominations of Christianty believe that if a person has accepted Jesus' suffering into their heart and soul, they are allowed into the Kingdom of Heaven. Jesus died for your sins, past and present. Murder is a sin, but He died to absolve you of the consequences (not that it makes them okay).

I really thought that everyone knew this?

that's the major overbearing issue with religion, redemption. the shift is a shifted view of justice that currently eliminates responsibility in a spiritual sense due to the "sacrifice" that jesus made for humanity. if he knew he was going to die and still went through with it then wouldn't that be suicide? but we all know suicide is excused by abrahams god if it's for a just cause, right?

Just do penance and all is good. Or a priest do last rites on your death bed. Just make sure you don't die before and after you wiped out a town of supposed terrorists that turned out not to be.

True, but that covers a good amount of Christians. There are about 1 billion Catholics in the world. 1 in 7 or 8 people world wide?

Because you contradicted yourself in the span of six words.

John 19:34 indicates that Jesus died of a "broken heart"

Jesus is the way, the life, and the spirit. He didn't commit suicide, because he is immortal. Hence how he rose the 3rd day and his Kingdom shall have no end

john 3:26

for god so loved the earth that he gave his only son, blah blah blah

he was sacrificed, knew he would be, and continued without defying god cause that'd be a bid no no. not to mention the over arching implication of abraham and isaac, but god can go through with it because it's god and only god gets to commit fillicide
