We all think that death is like the worst thing ever but could it be that death is what God gives us when he actually wants to be with us. After all we were told that we go to heaven or see God when we die. So Death is what God gives us when he wants to ultimately take care of us?

People, I'm talking about natural death that comes to us all. I'm not talking about suicide. Also, I got this theory from the song called "Held" by Natalie Grant. Do Google search for this song's lyric.

To Lokasena: I didn't say God make us die faster cuz he wanted to be with us. I'm saying that life happens naturally and unfortunately for some happens to get sick with incurable diseases and that's wasn't given by God. So what God is doing is giving us a way out so we don't have to suffer any longer then we should. That's what I meant by gift from God. Imagine if someone doesn't die and live with AIDS forever and ever for eternity if there was no death!

No, dying is a curse, it continually has been. And no dying isn't a answer to soreness and ailment, that's only the top of it. ok lets say you have 2 appropriate infant twin daughters. They strengthen up a splash and at age 4 they get abducted and shot in the top. Is that extremely God taking them or is it evil bringing approximately dying? Is that a physically powerful ingredient? Are you going to have human beings springing up to you on the funeral congratulating you and telling you techniques fortunate those babies are and satisfied they died? No, dying is a curse. For the unbeliever, that's a 2d of their souls existence that seals their way forward for doom till judgment. For the believer, that's a time of relax we are able to take understanding the our artwork in the international is ended with quite a together as to cotemplate our mess united statesand ignored opportunities and family contributors that we are abandoning which will leave out us. Im sorry, you have been asserting something approximately dying being stable???

I don't know about your interpretation of the word "gift", but I do know that there is a scripture in Psalms that says"Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints". And other scripture that says that even the very best this world ever had to offer is not worthy to compare with what awaits us in Heaven. It also says that all of creation is on "tiptoe" in anticipation of what is to come. So, I would say that going to Heaven will be a better gift than we would ever imagine and that being here on earth, apart from God is not His ultimate desire and loves for us to come home when it is time.

So you think someone who dies a painful death at a young age is a gift? Someone suffering from cancer or AIDs is a gift? No, that's cruel and sadistic if a God inflected people with those things just so he could take them to heaven, not to mention pretty damn selfish of him.
You may be told that you go to heaven when you die, but how do you know if that's true? Have you ever been dead?

Yes. I believe that death is really ultimate gift to human beings as after death there will not be any burdens on us.

Death is a result of the fall(sin). But the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ.

This is a good perspective vs the fear of death. I wouldn't depend on it though....to whomever....just live life to the fullest and if death becomes you....we can remember this way of thinking about death!!

Death is relief from life, not some gift. I'm sure the super being is up there, looking down thinking, "Beth, I want you with me... you've got cancer and will be with me soon," and waves a finger in my direction.
That, to me, is not a compassionate deity, but a selfish being. I'm so glad I don't have that ahead of me. :-)

No I don't believe that but perhaps Freud was right to say and I quote :"The goal of all life is death." Talk to the aged and you'll find many welcome death over your opinion and rightfully so.
Even Einstein said one life was enough for him.
So keep thinking over the years you may gain new insights .
