The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ." -
I Corinthians 15:55-57
Once upon a time, twin boys were conceived. Weeks passed and the twins developed. As their awareness gew, they laughed for joy: "Isn't it great that we were conceived? Isn't it great to be alive?"
Together the twins explored their world. When they found their mother's cord that gave them life, they sang for joy! "How great is our mother's love, that she shares her own life with us!"
As weeks stretched into months, the twins noticed how much each was changing. "What does it mean?" asked one.
"It means our stay in this world is drawing to an end." said the other.
"But I don't want to go," said one. "I want to stay here always."
"We have no choice," said the other. "But maybe there is life after birth."
"But how can there be?" responded one. "we will shed our life cord and how is life possible without it? Besides, we ahve seen evidence that others were here before us, and none of them has returned to tell us there is life after birth. No, this is the end. Maybe there is no mother at all."
"But there has to be," protested the other. "How else did we get here? How do we remain alive?"
"Have you ever seen our mother?" said one. "Maybe she only lives in our minds. Maybe we made her up because the idea made us feel good."
So, the last days inthe womb were filled with deep questioning and fear. Finally, the moment of birth arrived.
When the twins had passed from their world, they opened their eyes and cried for joy - for what they saw exceeded their fondest dreams. That is death as experienced by Christians.

My question is Have you accepted the Lord as your personal saviour, and have you died to self to live for him?

I have to disagree. I know what you're trying to say, and you're probably sending this message to athiests, but CHRISTIANS CAN BE WRONG.
What if the "babies" got the concept of "the mother" wrong? What if "the mother" wasn't what the babies thought she is? What if your concept of God is wrong? How do you know the concept of God of Christianity is the truth? What if you worshipped God falsely while God keeps giving you the signs but you refuse to open your eyes to see them? What if you have been angering God this whole time by worshipping His tools and His messenger?
Please, open your eyes. See the signs. Click the link below. Proof is here.

According to the bible, what does Satan look like?
1. A skinny red man with horns and a pointed tail.
2. A red dragon with 7 heads and 10 horns.
3. A garden snake.
4. An angel in a black robe.
According to Jesus, what must you do to have eternal life?
1. Obey the law and keep all the sacraments.
2. Sell everything you have and give all the money to the poor.
3. Attend church regularly and tithe ten percent of your income to God.
4. Confess your sins and ask Jesus to come into your heart.

The Quote is from the Easter sermon of St. John Chrysostom.

believers seem always so urgent to assure us that we will 'be' somewhere after we die.
is this the same kind of somewhere as the place we were in before we were conceived?
life is now. if you choose to waste your now fantasising about some other time - that is no reason why i should let you waste my now along with yours.

So, what's your actual question? It seems to me that you are just quoting Scriptures and telling a story? I can't seem to find the question you are asking.

Yes. God Bless you. Did you write that story yourself? It was very good.
