why are people afraid to die if they believe in god?

Answer 1

Not all people are afraid of death there are some people who have come to terms with the fact that they are eventually going to die and accept death. as for everyone else i think its the fear of the unknown no one knows what happens in the afterlife or if there is an afterlife.

Answer 2

There is no death only change. Humans are made up of energy and energy does not die. Being human is a temporary stage of existence. We always were and will always be. Why do you think the Universe is still growing? Some time in the future it will collapse back onto itself and start over. We will go through the same thing over and over again. DeJaVu! Ever had it? It's a glitch. For a brief moment you feel as though you've done something before. There is a code in the Bible witch states "God is us." We are a collective entity. Our world is governed by thought. Why do you think we pray? When you pray you are using thought and that thought is transmitted into the Universe and the Universe responds. We are all connected to the Universe and one another. We truly are one. Some know it some don't. Most who do know would never tell you because knowledge is power. The ones that know are usually BILLIONAIRES. They have used the knowledge of it to make their money and are afraid to let people know to keep a monopoly. Churches for instance. They make tons of money off of blind followers putting their money into the collection plate. Oh and there are plenty of Churches out there so willing to feed you what you want to hear in order for you to dig deep into your wallet and give. No one learned anything from what the story of Jesus was trying to say. They removed a whole lot of things. Burned them so they would never get out. Jesus was trying to start a revolution in thought. He was trying to get us out of being blind followers. He was trying to tell us that the kingdom of God was within us. Duh, we are God! God is us, we are God, is such a simple thing. Collective thought. God is thought. God is in and is all of us. So think of what you want the world to be and it will be. The world is in it's current state because of Religion. Religion has been a way to control others since time was time. Don't let others do your thinking for you. Think of what you want this world to become. I want it to become what is said in the Bible and I know it will be that soon. Peace to all.

Answer 3

"Believing" and "Knowing" are 2 different things. Some people may believe in God but they don't "Know" what awaits them after they die. Also, they "know" that the process of getting to the afterlife often involves excruciating physical pain. True believers might still fear the pain-filled horror of the process of dying. They also might have a nagging doubt that there beliefs might be misguided.

Answer 4

Everyone is afraid to die because they know they will never die; thus they have the faith that tho the body passes, they-the soul- exists eternally. That's why we really don't want to die and resist it; eternity is our real nature and thus we deny death. Death is a myth.
Another reason we may be afraid to die is we are sinful, and are afraid of the Last Judgment?

Answer 5

We can always put our fait into something and trust it. However, when it comes to death I think people are more weary about death, even though they have a strong faith in God and what he promised them, but yet they have not experienced what it is to be truely dead. All they know that is concrete and tangible comes from being alive. How is it going to be in the after life? That is just one of the questions that I have asked myself.

Answer 6

I believe in Him & I'm not afraid to die.

Answer 7

The Dead Are Judged
11Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. Earth and sky fled from his presence, and there was no place for them. 12And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books. 13The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to what he had done. 14Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death. 15If anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire. Revelation 20:11-15


12This calls for patient endurance on the part of the saints who obey God's commandments and remain faithful to Jesus.

13Then I heard a voice from heaven say, "Write: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on."
"Yes," says the Spirit, "they will rest from their labor, for their deeds will follow them."

Revelation 14:12-14

Just be a belief folower and knows His truth.... yet we can be scared because of our consequences of lives ......

Answer 8

Because we are programmed to be afraid of death. It's our most natural instinct. If we weren't, we would die pretty fast, trying to pet an alligator or something like that.

Don't be a bozo.
