I have so many questions that i'm pondering about. After reading them, you can give me your advice.
Are are we physical beings called souls (human souls are of flesh and bone as Jesus had even after resurrection)? Doesn't Jesus want to give us eternal life because he loves us and we lost it through Adam? We have not Eternal Life of our own, but from God, No? Isn't what's most important to God that you have an attitude of value towards an eternal life of peace? If you believe in the resurrection, why would you assume death has had victory? In order for death to have victory, don't we have to lack value of life and God won't force us to live again? God will erase from existance those who didn't want to live because they had no faith that their attitude could be changed? Why is it that when someone get's hurt that they join forces with evil and go down to ther other person's level? Why let evil people cause us to change attitude?

Shouldn't we have compassion and pity be our weapon? If we are right, we don't need to be violent. It makes your truth a hypocrisy.

Note, you don't need to know God and his law is in you to have good values.

If God doesn't exist, he's a personification of our values

The real question is, "How CAN a god, as described in the bible, exist???"
Firstly, the supposed god is all knowing and all powerful...
This has quite a few implications...
Because he is supposed to know everything, he must also know the future. If he created the universe, and everything in it, knowing the outcome of everything the whole time, then EVERYTHING bad that's ever happened, HE meant to happen. Also, because he knows the future, and because each of us were supposedly made by him, he would also have known every one of OUR futures before he made us too. If our futures are known, meaning that they can't turn out any other way, then how is it possible that we have FREE WILL??? Also, since he would know all of our futures before we are even made, each time someone goes to, "hell," god MEANT for him to do that... That would make god evil...
There can be no such god as described in the bible... The very definition of that god contradicts itself...
Also, if this life is just a test to see whether we can go into heaven or hell, then this life is ALL meaningless. God is supposed to know everything, and he should already KNOW whether we go to hell or heaven before we even exist, and since we can't turn out any other way then the way we were made(by him) what's the point? Is he just testing to see if he made us the way he intended? If he is everything he is supposed to be, then he needs no test, because he is supposedly perfect in every way, and he can't have made a mistake.

God is Life and God is Death
God is Good and God is Evil
God is the Begining and God is the End
We exist within God and God exists within us
To answer the question, because death is a mystery to those that havent unraveled it. Evil/Good and defeat is Null and Void. God is Eternal.

We all have eternal life. Jesus' life was a show that there is nothing to fear in suffering and in death, and to teach us to love one another. Evil can defeat us if we do not put it in check.
You do not need to know who Jesus was to have eternal life, or have faith. But when you return to the Spirit World, having a moral value base, will help you in understanding your situation once you return.

My understanding is that a soul is a heavier type of spirit, (astral
double), that is still affected by the forces at work in Creation, and has to evolve to the higher state of pure spirit.
Christ, I believe, returned as a fleshly body, because we are
actually supposed to take our physical body with us when we
rise to the next level. It's not necessary, but preferable as far
as working with spiritual reality. It is called Translating, like Enoch
and Elijah also did.
Some people celebrate when a person passes on to the next life.
As it is very selfish of us to hang on to them, and curse God, and
so on and so forth, when we claim to believe they are now in a better place. Which they are.
My understanding is our spirits come here to strip themselves of
false-pride, self-righteousness, and hypocrisy. Oddly enough, this materail world, with the selfish nature of a physical body, is
the hardest world to do that in.

I'm afraid I don't believe in the existence of God.
I do believe that the existence of religion is the cause of more suffering in this world than almost any other human invention.
I do believe in the tenets of Christianity though. If we "did unto others as we would have them do unto us," our precious, fragile little planet would instantly become a better place.
I wish you a happy and peaceful weekend. Thanks for your question.

If God exists, then.....
doesn't matter what comes after the dots since God doesn't exist outside of the mind of believers.

I think you need to learn some rules about punctuation. Just adding a question mark at the end of every sentence doesn't make them all questions!

We all lack compassion at times.
