Immortality?

Question

Would you really want to be the only person living forever?

Answer 1

No not at all. All people I would love, care about would die

Answer 2

No and I won't be since that oportunity is still open to anyone who wants to take advantage of it and who is willing to learn God's ways not go on living in the hatred and selfish ways of mankind that are so prevelant today!
The way of the world will be very different than it is now the earth will be cleansed of all the badness and suffering and will be transformed into a beautiful paradise Garden all around the Globe While some might think that seems to good to be true, It seems to good to be true only becauseonly because mankind has known the bad for so many centuries. Jehovah created the earth and told mankind to fill it with righteous men and women who would care for its plant and animal life and preserve its beauty instead of destroying it. (See pages 12 and 17.) Rather than that promised Paradise being too good to be true, the present sorrowful state is too bad to continue. Paradise will replace it.
The thought of people living on earth as subjects of God’s Kingdom may seem strange to many Bible believers who think of all those saved as being in heaven. The Bible shows that only a limited number go to heaven and that those who will live forever on earth will be a great crowd of unlimited number. (Psalm 37:11, 29; Revelation 7:9; 14:1-5) That God’s Kingdom under Christ will fill the earth and reign over it is shown by a prophecy in the Bible book of Daniel.
Christ’s Kingdom is there represented as a stone cut from Jehovah’s mountainlike sovereignty. It strikes and destroys an image that represents powerful nations of the earth, and “the stone that struck the image . . . became a large mountain and filled the whole earth.” The prophecy continues: “In the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be brought to ruin. And the kingdom itself will not be passed on to any other people. It will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms, and it itself will stand to times indefinite.”-Daniel 2:34, 35, 44.
It is this Kingdom and the Scripturally supported hope of everlasting life on a cleansed and beautified earth that Jehovah’s Witnesses wish to tell you about. Millions now living and many, many millions now in their graves will have opportunity to dwell therein forever. Then, under the Thousand Year Reign of Christ Jesus, Jehovah’s original purpose for creating the earth and putting the first human pair on it will be realized. This earthly Paradise will never become boring. Just as Adam was assigned work in the garden of Eden, so humankind will have challenging projects in caring for the earth and the plant and animal life on it. They “shall long enjoy the work of their hands.”-Isaiah 65:22, Revised Standard Version; Genesis 2:15.
Many scriptures could be presented to show the conditions that will exist when the prayer that Jesus taught us is answered: “Let your kingdom come. Let your will take place, as in heaven, also upon earth.” (Matthew 6:10) However, let this one suffice for now: “I heard a loud voice from the throne say: ‘Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his peoples. And God himself will be with them. And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.’ And the One seated on the throne said: ‘Look! I am making all things new.’ Also, he says: ‘Write, because these words are faithful and true.’”-Revelation 21:3-5.

Answer 3

No! What a horrendous thought! Sometimes, I don't even want to be here now. (just passing thoughts don't panic). But really, life gets so boring, I already feel like I don't fit in around older and younger people, imagine if I was 300 years older. I'd probably have found a cave by then and would be living as the strange old Witchy lady......... People would come for advice and I'd chase them away unless their questions were worthy, actually, maybe I would like that!

Answer 4

If I could be a person living forever, Im sure all kinds of people would jump on that bandwagon. No way one person could keep that magin pill to themselves.. Im sure they would build a little community, a little utopia if you will..

Im sure after about 50 years they would get very tired of eachother and themselves... they would plot to kill one another.. then when the final 3 stood, two would commit suicide, and the last wise old soul would sit it out and wait for the sun to burn out, then starve to death.. maybe freeze.. sounds like a great life!

Of maybe God would simply strike them all down in the beggining for trying to be like Him.

I would certainly hope so

Answer 5

Yeah, then I could go on a murderous rampage. Laugh at the death penalty, claim I'm some kind of god-sent prophet. Screw everyone's mind up...

Oh what fun people would be to play with on that scale.

I'm just kidding by the way =) Though that would be fun for a while, it'd stink once everyone else was gone. Then life would just be dull for a very very very long time.

Answer 6

I'd want to live for a few hundred or maybe even a few thousand years so I can see if humanity stays the same as now and go into space.

Answer 7

No need, I want everybody to have longest life and living forever, I am not a selfish.

Answer 8

the christians keep saying thay live for ever but theres is a fairy tail the trouble with immortaliy you might end up being the only one left on the planet

Answer 9

Absolutely not! And no one lives forever anyway.

Answer 10

No one lives forever. "The wages of sin is death." And no one can say he/she is pure from their sins.

Only by believing that Christ died for us on the cross, can He lead us through death as He tasted death for us, and was resurrected. So we also will be resurrected with Him, but not in this earthly body.

Answer 11

Only through my descendents.
As Odin, unlikely as it sounds, lives through me.
