1Co 3:16 Do you not discern and understand that you [the whole church at Corinth] are God's temple (His sanctuary), and that God's Spirit has His permanent dwelling in you [to be at home in you, collectively as a church and also individually]?
I am from the father, and I do the divine will of the father and the Holy Spirit is always with me. The food I eat is from the father. The words that come from my mouth, can destroy me, if they are not the words for God.
1Co 3:17 If anyone does hurt to God's temple or corrupts it [with false doctrines] or destroys it, God will do hurt to him and bring him to the corruption of death and destroy him. For the temple of God is holy (sacred to Him) and that [temple] you [the believing church and its individual believers] are.
And let us not forget one of the ten commandments is, thou shall not kill. Or You shall not commit murder. If you kill yourself, you just broke that commandment, and you are a murderer.
You think I'm being harsh?? I'm trying to keep ppl from deceiving themselves and going to hell thinking, "well, I'm a Christian, so I can do as I please and still go to Heaven." The only ones going to Heaven are the ones obeying Jesus as their Lord and Boss. And Murder is not obeying Jesus. I'm into saving lives, not giving ppl an invitation to escape life through self murder.
We are born innocent, and receive instructions from deceptive ones (also blind) that lead us into captivities, cruelties, spiritual death and physical death. It is the work of those who continue to instruct those with the wrong instructions, who are guilty of going against God. Alcohol, and substance abuse is learned and promoted by evil doers, not of God. All evil is from those who continue to instruct the innocent ones, generation after generation, and is not of God.
Therefore shine the light of truth into the world apon those who are going against God, for how else are those in darkness and unable to see, may be able to find God's instruction.
Like a garden, we must look after this daily, lest the evil ones continue to prevail against the innocent.
If one does not have God's instruction, out of being born blind, they are innocent of trying to escape the claws of the wild beasts, in taking their own life, in order to escape.
If however, they have the instruction of God not to bring harm to themselves, and they do take their own life, then its likely they have not the complete instruction of God, for if they did, they would already understand, embrace, and love the divine will of God thru the Holy Spirit, which no unclean spirit is able to cling to, and therefore it would not be possible for such a person to take their own life, unless they were forced to by another. All sin is forgivable, yet despised by Jesus, for those who continue to knowingly sin. Therefore sin no more, as instructed by Jesus to do so, for if it were not for enlightened ones, how will it be possible to prevail over the evil doers outside your door.
1Co 3:18 Let no person deceive himself. If anyone among you supposes that he is wise in this age, let him become a fool [let him discard his worldly discernment and recognize himself as dull, stupid, and foolish, without true learning and scholarship], that he may become [really] wise. [Isa. 5:21.]
Cast aside the cup of bitterness and drink from the cup which is sweet, that is of the divine will of the Holy Spirit. Be always filled with the spirit thru a heart that is full of conviction, and always thirst for more light in which to be filled even more. For it is the divine will that you become the brothers and sisters of Jesus, in order for love to cross all divisions of the world where those seperated from God, become once again united with God. United you will stand, with divided hearts, we shall fail to complete the mission of the divine will of God. Take your place in the world as a person of God, standing ever ready for those who are lost.
1Co 3:19 For this world's wisdom is foolishness (absurdity and stupidity) with God, for it is written, He lays hold of the wise in their [own] craftiness; [Job 5:13.]
Why concern yourself of the matter at all, of those who wish to scorn you, yet do not know you (your heart). It is obvious that it is they who are without, and foolishly absurd, in need of being able to control the words that come out of their mouth, that is not of God.
1Co 3:20 And again, The Lord knows the thoughts and reasonings of the [humanly] wise and recognizes how futile they are. [Ps. 94:11.] [AMP]
Spiritual death is all around and obvious in the hearts of many.
1Co 3:17 If anyone destroys the temple of God, this one God will destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which _you*_ are.

We are from love and it is to love we return, unless you allow others to lead you into captivities, which are far from God. The light of truth is able to show that you are already free of your captivities that you choose to be bound with.
There is a vine that grows, that is not of God, that will be uprooted and destroyed. Already the ax is laid at the root by Jesus.
Dig down into your hearts and pluck out of you, the root of this vine the seeks to hold you captive.
