Are you afraid of death?

Question

I know that this question has been asked 538 times (I checked), but sometimes when it's asked again, you get different insights because different people see the same question.

Are you afraid of death? I'm not talking about dying, but what about being dead? If you are not, why not?

Answer 1

..i think we all are afraid of dieing , maybe more so because we know that everyone will be judged in our bodies for the things we have done good and bad. death is the result of sin.....sin brought forth death, but Christ himself made us a remedy for death, we can have eternal life after death . never do die ever again. our bodies will be free of pain . forever more..and we shall always be in the presents of the lord in heaven where there is no death , no hate , no lies. no defeat
, no pride, no problems at all ....know this that God is real and he is very much alive and he loves you and he give you life here on earth and also is capable of giving you eternal life in heaven.....

Answer 2

The only reason I dont want to die is all the stuff i've learned to love about this world i'd be leaving. But since i believe that when you die there is nothing but blank and you wont even know it. So being dead doesnt sound that bad. I just have so much more I want to do in life! Death would mess that up

Answer 3

No, I am not afraid of death.

Death is part of a natural cycle of things. Things constantly die and get renewed. For those who die, there are new borns. The same applies to souls. We go through deaths and reborns. Death simply means the soul leaves the body and journeys through another dimension. When it is time again, the soul will re-enter the physical world in another body. So, in a sense, we really never actually die or go out of existence.

I am more interested in living a good life, so that there is good karma rather bad karma that carries to my future lives. So, live your life to your fullest and don't worry about everything coming to an end at death!!

Answer 4

I'm not afraid of being dead, no. I'm a little annoyed that I'll only have seventy or eighty years and then I'll be gone, but I don't fear being gone any more than I fear the end of an interesting show on telly. It's too inevitable to be frightening, and in any case I won't care once it happens.

Answer 5

There is nothing to be afraid of. Its the same as before I was born, nothingness. Its a weird concept to think about, but its part of life. Now, I don't particularly relish what will happen to get me to that point. I am not a big fan of pain, but maybe I will luck out and die easily.

Answer 6

No, I cannot wait to stand infront of God, I pray that I am able to do more good deeds, and that he forgive for that I have done wrong.

Answer 7

No. Its just a normal part of the circle of life. I have a hard time dealing with the concept of non-existence, but I went through that before I was born, so it won't be any different once I've died.

Answer 8

no, I think death is just a continuation, we have to upgrade our hardware now and then, lol. I used to fear death, but then I found my soulmates (hubby and friend), and when you meet people you already know somehow, without ever having met in this life, it reifies something in your soul about having knowledge that somehow extends beyond this life, almost like you don't need faith, because you have proof - very personal proof, it's only good for you, but proof nonetheless.
Maybe it's like life is a cocoon phase between caterpillar and butterfly, lol!

Answer 9

No. Not at all. I don't spend a lot of time thinking up what the afterlife looks like or what it will contain, but I know of God's love. That for me is enough to take away the fear.

Answer 10

Death is but A beginning.
