why must we die?

Answer 1

Do we?

Or do we just transition from this reality to our true reality as spirit.

Several years ago I had an unusual experience concerning an uncle, a distant relative who lived over a thousand miles away.

While driving my car I suddenly felt the unmistakable presence of this relative that I hardly even knew. He was more like someone I had heard about than someone I knew. It was very strange; it felt as though I was momentarily lifted right out of my physical body. I seemed to be suspended somehow beyond space and time, bathed in a love so intense It felt like I could have just disappear into it at any moment if It would have let me. It only lasted for a few seconds, but it seemed to last forever at the same time. I realize how crazy this must sound. The experience was so strong that at first I was afraid I was loosing my grip on reality. I finally managed to chalk it up to an over active imagination.

Three days later I got a call from my aunt telling me that this uncle we are talking about had gone into a coma and died the day I had the experience. It felt like ice water had been poured down my back when she told me this. I had lost any real ideas of God or faith and had become somewhat of an atheist. Needless to say this experience caused me to rethink some of the conclusions I had come to.

I feel blessed to now understand that even in our darkest confusion something loves us so much that it went out of its way to assist me and bring me back to a state of absolute certainty about Gods love for us.
During the experience it seemed like there was a vast amount of information that I was somehow allowed access to. One thing that I came away from this experience understanding beyond any shadow of a doubt was that any Idea that God is unhappy with us or would judge or allow us to be punished for any reason is simply impossible.

I can’t explain the love I felt with words. They simply don’t make words big enough or complete enough to do this. The only way I can begin to convey this love to you is to say that there was simply nothing else there. Nothing but love. No hint of judgment, no displeasure of any sort. It is as though God sees us as being as perfect as we were the day we were created. It is only in our confused idea of ourselves that we seem to have changed.

I hope this is of some help to you. Good luck. Love and blessings.

Answer 2

If this is a philosophical question then from a non-religious standpoint we are animals and part of a cyclic ecosystem that like a wheel has to turn to get anywhere--so we like most other organisms die--perhaps, in our ecosystem the only organisms not subject to this are microbes and virus that perhaps are copied ad infinitum. Ask a scientist about the last perhaps.

If you are asking from a religious standpoint, Christians believe in the resurrection. God promises eternal life to some and immortal life to others.

Presently, we are under sin and the salary of sin is death! (Romans 6:23) That is the reason we must die.

Answer 3

Your question is very philosophical. My opinion is this: All creatures with life must complete a cycle for it to become a complete individual. Death is an integral part of that cycle. If Death will be removed from that circle, Life itself will become incomplete and worse incomprehensible. Living will become exasperating and to become colloquial - boring. An organism which do not die does not LIVE...but merely Exist. Living is very very different from existing.

Answer 4

good question. topics involving death are interesting. we all have our own different views on this most inevitable event of any living being.

if we take a biological viewpoint, death takes place at the end of the developmental process. any living being, after it reaches the peak of development must degenerate and get destroyed.

theology, speaks on different terms altogether. death is a result of "sin" or disobedience on the part of first man and woman created. man was not supposed to eat the fruit of life from the garden of Eden, but he disobeyed the commandment of God and ate the fruit. as a result, death came onto man. this death is just physical, however, actual death is on spiritual level.

John 3:16 says, "God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son. Whosoever, believes in Him, will not perish but have eternal life." we have a Way out of this great Man of God. we just need to believe in Him. for further information, please refer the Bible.

most people will not agree to what i say here, but it does not matter.

Answer 5

If we never died, we would never know the value of life. Imagine going from day to day, a blur of rhythms continuing. Time would have never been invented, what purpose would it serve us to know it is but one more day closer to eternity? By asking why we die, you have realized the exact reason, by loving the life you have and regretting your ultimate departure from it.

Answer 6

are you afraid?
don't worry about it and just look forward in your life.
I use to be too until I realize the lives of the people around me are just as important. I realize that life is precious and dieing drives one rapidly to follow his dreams and protect love ones even more.

Answer 7

because the world isn't big enough as it is, can you imagine if nobody died or if everyone lived till at least 500yrs old!!! It is a painfull process but it has to happen...until we get the technolagy to be able to live on other planets or the moon lol :)

Answer 8

Because we live in a fall world. We all have sinned.
the good news is that we can accept what Jesus has done for us on the cross. and ask him to forgive our sins.
all who believe regardless of country, race will live together in heaven forever with God.

Answer 9

To make life precious and worthwhile. Or, it is the law of nature.

Answer 10

To let others be born... if no one died, no one could be born either beyond a stage.
