What if you could know how you were gonna die, not just when? Would that change you answer?

it all depends on weather or not there is free will .
If yes there is free will then knowing the time and method of youre death would give you a chance to alter it. even natural causes can be altered if given enough time to work on it.
if on the other hand there is no free will and fate s die is cast before birth then knowing would only be of value to those not already liveing every day to its fullest.

I don't think I would. Yet, part of me would want to. You'd know if you have time to do all you want, but I think I'd get too consumed with the thought of when I was going to die. I'd rather live each day as if it were my last, and enjoy every minute of it!

The Bible says that the day of your death is more important than the day of your birth. But, this is in reference to how you are dealing with your life at that point that you do die. How you are serving God at the point of your death is most important to him. Of course we will all be resurrected but it will be easier for you if you know God better than you do now. I personally would not want to know the day or the time of my death, but I do want to be serving God in the greatest capacity I can now. In all reality, God never wanted us to die. He purposed for man to live forever which will eventually happen, but for now death is our enemy and enemies can sneak up on you.

I wouldn't want to know cause then I would feel that I am just waiting for that day. If I knew the exact moment that I was going to die it might change who I am and I wouldn't want that to change. I like the person that I am. Can you imagine just waiting for that moment......scary!!!

thats a good ? im not sure though! The world would be a crazy place if people could know when they would die. Its kind of what keeps people in check not knowing, know what i mean.

I'd like to know. So I know how much time I have left to do what I want. Also, so that I can loan large sums of money right before expiration;-)

yes, because I would make sure to tell everyone I love them and be able to really enjoy our time together. Plus I could get my affairs in order...assuming one day I have affairs that needed to be ordered.
