Sky Diving!! Suicide, Testing GOD???

[Dizzy]

Ok, I just wanted to get your thoughts on whether or not Sky diving is kind of testing God and it might be a possiblitiy that it could be in God's eye's, suicide? I mean you have a percentage of whether or not that parachute is going to open, and you know you are risking your life everytime you jump... I'd like to have christians point of view on this please...

everything has a percentage change of death associated with it. you are more at risk driving to work than skydiving.

Scuba diving has the same issue - failure of equipment might get you killed - has nothig to do with S or testing God.

Skydiving or any of these extreme sports are surely not about testing God if u r Christian, but more a way of showing HOW invigorating life is with Christ in ur life!

Well, as stated by other posters... skydiving, in itself, is not testing God. And the high death percentage? well, to drive to work is kinda dangerous (to use JetBlacks example).

But then there is of course possible for a single individual to test God, by skydiving, or to use this a "suicide-technique".. I actually just read in the papers about this guy jumoing out of a plane, after having cut loose his parachute.

But everything can be used as a tool to either testing God or suicide. And the most dangerous paths can be travelled upon by someone with a love of live and a great respect for God.
