What is breathe and death?

Question

How is it, "breathe" causes animation? Whose breathe governs me? Who is this GOD "Jehovah", that causes life and death? Whom framed the Heaven and Earth and declared let there be "LIGHT" "animation" "activity" "life" by the quickening of his mouth. What kind of God is this whom we know nothing about, yet all of his creation declares him? Why is breathe so vital? How is it, that without it, we can do nothing? Breathe, oh breathe, who is this God whose breathe enables me to function? Oh Jehovah lord God who are you? Where are you and how can one find you and your ways out intimately? Let us examine Mt 7:13-20v mainly the 13-14v look at this statement or promise. Enter ye in at the strait gate for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat. 14v Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. This is a very frightening promise, for we see it fulfilled daily "sin", then

Then death! Death is when Jehovah takes away his breathe from you. When you reach the end of rebellion towards him! Think about, breath is vital, it's taken away from us! Please Lord God don't take your Holy Spirit from me!

Kal you are exactly correct! Man is a fool he and his witty vain inventions. Science community stop "death" then will we applaud you! Cause life, then will we salute your "idols"

Yes glad somebody else studies out there Psalms 51:11 for it ties beautifully into the topic. Our Father is good, but I'm still ready to depart from hear leave me not Father take me also at that appointed time!!

Answer 1

Living and breathing is from God. Death is the result of sin.

Answer 2

Breathe is also attributed to the HoLY SPIRIT in many ways. Was that Psalm 51:11 that you quoted at the end?

The LORD refrains or holds back the end, AS A RESULT OF HIS GREAT LOVE, that all would come to the saving knowledge in CHRIST JESUS OUR LORD!" We want to go home, but must continue on with Mt28:18-20 and in the knowledge that there are so many already lost and condemned; be it in willful ignorant disobedience, or in simply having never heard the GOOD NEWS. Soldiers we are, gentle and HONEST~ONWARD!Christian soldiers....how will they hear, unless we tell them!?
GOD BLESS U!

Answer 3

What is breath? Breath is when you have something to live for. When you lose the sense of living you lose your ability to breath. What is the God? Is it a harmony inside your soul when you are not alone? Is it that softness in the very cord of your soul when you see a flower or look at the child? Does HE makes you feel on the top of yourself discovering something unknown? A lot of questions to think of... Does HE gives me this wonderful ability to think, to be a human, to have so close people, to smell the wind and the grass, to feel and to share what I feel because I don't want to have emotions without having ability to part them with a person who has so deep and bright eyes..... Does HE gives me ability to breath as well? I don't know. But I'm sure The Lord is something inside us. It's a sort of a state of mind or philosophy of living. It's something important, very important and something we're not able to imagine because we're just people... And he's someone kind enough to teach us to breath...
Sorry for my English - I'm not a native speaker:).

Answer 4

Breath is sometimes used as a metaphor for life itself, and often "last breath" is the most obvious sign that death has occurred. The association between the end of life and breathing is not absolute, however. As modern treatment can now take over the process of breathing by mechanical ventilation, or cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), breathing can be restarted if it stops. Because of this, modern deaths are now better defined in terms of brain dysfunction.

Answer 5

Jehovah's Witnesses believe the bible to teach that most dead humans will be resurrected to life in a restored paradise earth, with the hope of living forever under God and Christ.

So what does the bible teach about "the soul"?

A "soul" is a life, with no implication regarding some immortal otherwordly entity. Each deceased life is in Jehovah God's remembrance (with the potential for future resurrection), but the dead do not exist anywhere but memories until and unless the life is resurrected.

(Ezekiel 18:4) The soul that is sinning - it itself will die.

(Ecclesiastes 9:5) For the living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all

(Ecclesiastes 9:10) there is no work nor devising nor knowledge nor wisdom in Sheol ["hell"]

(Genesis 2:17) But as for the tree of the knowledge of good and bad you must not eat from it, for in the day you eat from it you will positively die.”

(Genesis 17:14) And an uncircumcised male who will not get the flesh of his foreskin circumcised, even that soul must be cut off from his people. He has broken my covenant.”

(Judges 16:30) And Samson proceeded to say: “Let my soul die with the Philistines.” Then he bent himself with power, and the house went falling upon the axis lords and upon all the people that were in it, so that the dead that he put to death in his own death came to be more than those he had put to death during his lifetime.

(Job 33:22) And his soul draws near to the pit, And his life to those inflicting death.

(Psalm 78:50) He did not hold back their soul from death itself; And their life he handed over even to the pestilence.

(Isaiah 53:12) he poured out his soul to the very death

(Acts 3:23) Indeed, any soul that does not listen to that Prophet will be completely destroyed from among the people.’

(Revelation 16:3) And the second one poured out his bowl into the sea. And it became blood as of a dead man, and every living soul died, yes, the things in the sea.

Answer 6

that's why when the 'breathe' or 'spirit' (pnuema) of life was taken again by God the body goes back to earth (dust). There is no such thing as 'spirit' wandering somewhere else. It is the spirit or breathe from God that goes back to God.
