There is one question that has been on my mind for awhile. Since we are spiritual beings, don't we have the right to kill ourselves like King Saul in the Bible? Or are we imprisoned in the physical form until death desires to come? I desire death of the body now... can't I just do that?

Your nature is not fixed. It can be transformed. This amazing quality, the inherent potential mutability of our nature, is what sets us above all of God's countless other creations. And this fact about our unique nature also empowers us in a very special way. Each of us is created with the power to choose the course of our own destiny.
