I try. No, Mayor. Calvin Coolidge didn't say that. Sammy Clemens did.
Only for those who repent of their sin.
Paul was aware of Jesus' death and he still insisted that the wages of sin is death.

You are just so radically confused. But I can see why, being an RCC devotee.
I'm sorry. Aren't we talking about sin comitted by the flesh? If you want to talk about how to enter into life, just say so.
Let you be accursed.
Romans 5
6 For when we were still without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly....8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us....10 For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life.
Romans 3
10 As it is written: “There is none righteous, no, not one; 11 There is none who understands; There is none who seeks after God. 12 They have all turned aside; They have together become unprofitable; There is none who does good, no, not one.”
No disputing that the wages of death is sin. This is why he went to the cross.

If someone knows, with 100% certainty, that:
1. He is saved, no matter what he does.
2. No experience in this life could possibly be better than what he will experience following his own bodily death.
Then why shouldn't he wish to die?

You really must get the big picture and NOT read HALF verses (sentences).
Rom 6:23 KJV For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Unlike you, Paul continued ON to the ANSWER.

Because we want to be FAITHFUL and self murder is NOT of faith.
A "True Believer" (Member of the Body of Christ) would not destroy
the Temple of the Holy Spirit. (Which is our body)

Right, but why not?
The bolded portion makes a lot of sense. For the Christian there's no
fear of where our soul is headed. However, it's possible to fear the
manner of death we must endure? A long painful drawn out death or
an instantaneous demise?

I love this post, and that I highlighted in yellow specifically. :thumb:
The "True Believer" is indwelt and sealed by the Holy Spirit. They are
part of the Body of Christ. A person without hope, eternal or otherwise,
is more apt to destroy their existence. My Grandfather on my Mothers
side committed suicide. He was not a Christian.
Death is naturally ominous, and humans are naturally skeptical. Even for those of faith, I believe God has it rigged into our minds so that we stay aware of how important life is.
Because let's look at the lunatics who take death as 'stepping from one realm to the next' further, like the Jonestown massacre :nono:
God would never call upon people to take their own lives when there is another solution.
Because they wish to honor Gods purpose for their life?

Which is?
To point to Him ultimately, but vary by person.
