Who could be that cruel to write a book like that?
I thought I was going to heaven after I die, now I am just only going to the grave?
Why did Man make up a God, and says he real
Why did Man says there is going to be a heaven after we die, when obviously there is not going to be one?
I keep worrying about death, at what age do a human normally die?
I keep thinking I can die at any instant.

Man did not write the Bible, God did. Since God is a Spirit that is in another demention He uses willing vessels,(People), as his hands and his mouth. It is His Word, not any mans. He wrote it as a way to confirm what He is telling us inwardly in our hearts. The writen and the Spoken Word is for confirmation. God ocassionally speaks with an audible voice but that usually causes people to question the reality of the experience. I have had it happen only once and many people though I was flipp'n out. So did I, until someone with the same experience talked with me about the same thing.
God speaks to me daily about things. It is called meditation. When you are communicating with Him it is prayer. He will instruct your life and confirm it by two or more witnesses, either writtten or spoken or both.
I love you my child and never feel that I am for some reason a punishing God. I am trying to keep you from the place where you go by choice that is eternal punishment. It is all about choice and it is your choice when you live with sin, sickness and death. It was never my design for you to die until you were ready to move on to the next level. Everywhere you go with me is been prepared in advance. I have sent my Holy Spirit into the World to comfort and teach you. Just surrender and win. It is about your own choice in everything. you cannot make your choices based on temporal things in relationship to your flesh. You are not your flesh it is a tempory ride and there is a much better one coming that is indistructable. I love and will NEVER forsake you.

David,
It is a normal human tendancy to fear the unknown. There is a large part of us that is animal, after all. The Bible, like all similar texts, was written to offer an explanation to some pretty big unknowns, and therefore to provide comfort.
This is the truth that I absolutely KNOW is the truth-
You are right, we CAN all die at any instant.
Nobody knows for sure what it really feels like to die [all the way.]
Now, let me tell you something I THINK is the truth. I think that everything around us is like everything ELSE around us. That is, if you see that there is a cycle to life by watching other things around you, then it makes sense that we are also a part of that, right?
The world has been here a LONG time, and Humans have been living and dying for a LONG time too. I've held the hands of many friends as they died, stopped breathing, and felt their body cool down. Watched the life leave their body. It looks as natural to me as everything else in this world.
Even the bible says "For dust you are from, and to dust you shall return" - indicating that we're only BORROWING the stuff that makes up these bodies. Eventually we have to give it BACK.
So I think that dying is actually pretty easy. We're all programmed to do it, and when it is you're time, you won't make any mistakes, I'm sure you will do it just fine also.
So no need to rush your time, or worry about this transition.
Some people have faith in the Bible, and there is NOTHING WRONG with that. Those people have a weapon against their fear that works. You decide what you want for you.
Just make the world a better place while you're here, if you can. That's what I think.
Best to you.

Where did all this "certainty" that God does not exists come from? And if you really don't believe in God, then why the animosity? Why are you scared?
If there is no God, it doesn't matter when you die. No one would care, you are not special, you are just matter with no meaning, no purpose. Your death will be the extinction of your existence. Only a memory in those that choose to remember you will remain...until your are insignificant even to them.
If there is a God, then you have a meaningful, purpose-driven existence. Love exists, and people do what is contrary to survival to do that which pleases God. Your death would be the end of your physical self, but the revealing of your spiritual self. Your spirit would live forever, your would exist eternally.
You can die at any instant. Why do you not have peace with God in your heart?
What do you want to become?
Who do you want to be?
Humans die on average between the ages of 1 day and 115 years. You really cant take your pick.
There is a God, and He loves you. People will lie to you, but God will never lie.

hello...you need to read the Bible obviously, Start with the book of John..cause man did not write it, it is God inspired. And it says if you confess with your mouth Jesus Christ is Lord and believe in your heart that he died for your sins and rose again to purchase a place in heaven for you (by his blood he paid) you will go to heaven. Talk about the greatest news you'll ever hear. And yes you could die any moment, so why wait. What can you loose by trusting in Jesus Christ to save you from death eternally. read and believe and see what happens. You will have peace that surpasses all understanding, the Love of God for you will cast out all fear. Let God grip your heart today, you have everything to loose.

Man wrote the Holy Bible because God inspired him to write it and God only picked men to write it that he knew would write it just as he wanted it....
Man did not make up God, God made man...
From the rib of man God made woman....
You will not go to the grave when you die...
You have a soul and the soul lives forever...
You have a choice, God gave us the choice..
We can chose him and life or we can not chose him and chose death.....
John 3; 16 For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotton Son that who so ever beliveth in him shall not perish but have ever lasting life!
To prove the Bible is true here is a passage
John 1; 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God and the Word was God...
The word here is talking about Jesus/The word is also talking about the Bible in which is The Word....

Man doesn't want and he can never write a Holy Book.
Man has thousands of questions, but he refuses to look for the best answers in the Holy Book. Even if he read the Holy Book without faith, he could never find the answers.
Therefore, he keeps on quarelling with his neighbors without end about their guesses.

The bible was written through divine intervention, it is a guide for all of mankind to follow, unfortunately interpretation got in the way for many, so new so called scriptures showed up like the Koran, Jehovah's scripture, the Mormons, just to name a few. In my opinion they are all false prophesy, If you really believe in the lord Jesus Christ then you have some hope that his teachings are true, and that makes you a winner. People will always criticize Christianity and tell you lies about how bad it is, but always remember Jesus is the one and only true Prophet and that's why God glorified him for us God Bless.

Imagine man writing a Holy Book. It definitely would not be the Bible. The Bible is God's revelation to us of what He is like. Have peace in this, my friend. If you are worried, then you have been blessed. It is because of your conscience of your sin and mortality that God is real. God is convicting you of your sins. You have been born into sin and have sinned against God your entire life. You justly deserve to spend eternity separated from God. But have peace. God sent his son, Jesus Christ to die for you so that you would not have to be eternally separated from him. Jesus took the punishment you and I deserve when He died on the cross. On the third day He rose again, defeating death, and the grave. But you must respond to this love. You must cry out to God to forgive you of all your sins and thank Him for sending His son to die for you on the cross. Turn from your sins, thank Him and trust in Jesus to save you on Judgment Day.

Don't sweat it, my friend, most souls will cross over. The bible was written by men who desired power. By instilling fear of an imaginary place called hell, they had control of the masses. It has been working ever since. The Quaran is exactly the same thing,a work of fiction. Any religion that claims to be the only way to"God" is a lie.
