No matter what, DEATH is the only thing we're assured of.

Yes, it is.
But as the scriptures point out, suffering produces endurance or a positive experience, which produces hope -- the assurance that a Christian may know within himself that his conscience is clear and that he has God's approval. Thus he is totally 100% sure that God will resurrect him after his death if he keeps enduring until the end.

I would say no. Some atheists would argue that after death we fall straight into oblivian. That is, there is absoluely nothing left of us, not even the experiance of death itself.
But inside of religion and philosophical thinking, death IS a part of life. What happens while we are dead is another question entirely, but certainly physical death exists in all relgions.
So there are people who say that death does not exist, but I don't think its taken seriously.

As far as something definite I would have to agree. Even my fellow Christians believe you have to die a death in this world before we can live eternally in the Kingdom of Heaven. So yes, death at some point, is inevitable.

Yes, once we are born to life we also die, that is 100% fact.The only thing probably that we all agree. We all die no matter we believe.
I believe Jesus conquered the death. He will wake us up. I trust His promises.

This depends on your "religion". Most believe there is something after death. Christians believe in eternal life, but where you spend it is the question.

The ONLY assurance that we have in life, is
One Day it WILL end.
Remember that death is not an event......it is a process.
Life is a terminal illness.

Hebrews 9:27--"And it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the Judgment"
Jude 21--"keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life"

No there is spiritual life or spiritual death after your physical body passes.
"And I have the keys of hell and death, signifies that He alone can save. By "keys" is signified the power of opening and shutting; here the power of opening hell, that man may be brought forth, and of shutting, lest, when he is brought forth, he should enter again. For man is born in evils of all kinds, thus in hell, for evils are hell; he is brought out of it by the Lord, to whom belongs the power of opening it. That by "having the keys of hell and death," is not meant the power of casting into hell, but the power of saving, is because it immediately follows after these words:
Behold, I am alive for ages of ages;
by which is signified that He alone is eternal life (n. 60); and the Lord never casts anyone into hell, but man casts himself. By "keys" is signified the power of opening and shutting, in Revelation also (3:7; 9:1; 20:1; also in Isa. 22:21, 22; in Matt. 16:19; and in Luke 11:52). The power of the Lord is not only over heaven, but also over hell; for hell is kept in order and connection by oppositions against heaven; for which reason, He who rules the one must necessarily rule the other; otherwise man could not be saved; to be saved is to be brought out of hell" (Apocalypse Revealed n. 62).

Thats pretty much it. Its amazing, no matter how powerful we become, what we own, or who depends on us....we all "owe a death."
