The thing is, I only see Christians doing this "I already know the answer to my own question" thing on Yahoo! Answers, and it has to stop. There's no reason to post a question that you already know the answer to... because you're either being dishonest, insulting/condescending, or preachy. The asker is two of the three.
To quote a Bible verse shows that you do not KNOW why we 'choose life if we are born to die'... you just BELIEVE you know the answer from a book filled with absurd tautology.
Life is a condition forced upon us, like a previous answerer stated. If you are ever in a dilemma where you need to 'choose life', you're suicidal... the dilemma only comes up when you're actually alive and aware of this fact.
However, the Bible verse actually points out the obvious thing that secular ethics has been trying to teach for centuries upon centuries... choose 'life' and the more ethical and moral consequence to continue your species. It's human nature.

I don't mean to be rude, but it would be"I already KNOW the answer", not " I already NO the answer". Please use spell check before posting, especially since you are are professing to already know the answer. A seemingly simple misspelling like that can make you look very ignorant when it comes to a common knowledge (not noledge! LOL) words like "know" and "no".
Yes, I know the insults will start against me for being so "mean", but I am sure that any intelligent person can understand me, and I am just being realistic and trying to help you in the long run...

After the Creator made Itself and then threw off Sparks that became the souls of all that was and will be. Then The Creator made the physical universe and all that's in it . Latter the Creator let these souls that wanted to . Enter into this physical universe to see what the Creator had made.many entered into the physical forms and enjoyed the physical sensations so much that they forgot that they could leave the forms and also where they came from to other souls that are here.
Since the soul leaves the physical body after it can no longer sustain it . It returns to one of the levels of Heaven and can decide if it wants or needs to return to physical form to learn lessons or to pass lessons along.

You cannot choose life; that was thrust upon you and is taken away by chance or longevity. Death is the only CHOICE you have, but I wouldn't recommend that choice. Just ride it out the best you can.

Christ said to choose life you must obey all of God's laws. He answered Nicodemus's question "How can a man be born again? Can he re-enter his mother's womb and be born again?"
The commandment that sums them all up is: Love your neighbour as yourself. Matthew 19:19

The curse lies not in death itself, but in death without Christ.
Life is a blessing givin to all, but ETERNAL life is a gift given to those who seek him.
To die knowing Christ.............that is the greatest adventure of all.

WHAT IT MEANS THAT GOD GAVE US A CHOICE IN LIFE, 1) LIFE TO WALK IN THE SPIRIT OF GOD AND PRODUCE GOOD FRUIT, BEING RIGHTEOUS IN THE LORDS EYES. WITCH WOULD BE A (BLESSING) 2) DEATH TO WALK IN THE WRONG DIRECTION THAT WILL CAUSE DISTRUCTION, CONFUSION, AND DEATH WERE YOU WILL SUFFER FOR THE WRONG CHIOICES IN LIFE A (CURSE)

You are too much into the Old Testament. You need to read the New Testament that Jesus has for us to follow. I am a born again Christian and yes, I know the answers we need to know.
