Where do you get your info? Christians do belive in death, the body dies, the soul lives on.

There you are again stating, as if you have documentation to show, that Christians don't believe in death. As you do this repeatedly I have to assume that you are totally ignorant of what Christianity is much less what we believe.
Ever heard tell of Hell?? Christians don't believe in death. Death is very real as Christians we hope to avoid the second death which is the end of existence period.
But all must die and sleep.
You are in the generation that has a chance of never dieing physically or spiritually if you truly believe on Him that died for you.
I exhort you to stop making dumb assumptions and asking dumb questions as there are no righteous answers here.
Go to bibleresources.bible.com and spend this time learning what God really said and what Christians really believe. Is your chance at immortality worth that effort, or are you too low in self esteem to put out the effort? Life or death it's your choice.

Yes. Everyone dies physically. Humans are a body, soul & dead/blind spirit. But once one is born of Gods Spirit through faith in Jesus Christ; then one is made whole; body, soul & spirit. But the body is still corruptible & will die. But we look forward until resurrection day complete when we raise up like Jesus raised from the dead. By the Holy Spirit that we are sealed as Children of God by.

To be absent from this body is to be present with the Lord.

On example of someone who died & evidence of heaven for those born of Gods Spirit... http://www.90minutesinheaven.com . Also others have experienced hell and you can do a web search up above on 'hell experiences Bill Weise'.

You have two bodies, as Paul put it:
One celestial, one terestrial.
One spiritual body, one Eartly body. When you die your flesh goes into the ground and thats it - the flesh goes back to the dirt;
the spiritual body (the real you) goes back to the one who owns your soul, the one who created it.
No, not everyone will live forever. Everyone will, however, "survive" what we call death - because its only the death of flesh.
Not everyone will make it, however, past
the second death, which is the death of both the spiritual body and the soul.
The short answer: no, not everyone lives forever, but many do.
God has not told us of any who have already perished in the spirit. We know one by name (Satan) who is condemned to perish, but it hasn't happened yet. We also know of Satans children who still have a chance to accept Jesus Christ and be saved, but thats yet to be seen.
And then there are the 7000 Angelic beings who left their habitation and married human women; these are also sentenced to perish, just the same as Satan, the difference only being that they are un-named. We only have the name of one who has already been judged and sentenced to perish.

Wrong, what do we have for her johnny, well glad you asked here some fact for you, we believe in death, Christ died on a cross and was raised fro the dead, we believe that death is not the end that it becomes the beginning, people die and then have eternity to deal with based on their decisions to follow God or not. I as a medic seen Death, I believe people die, seen them die, but I also know that they will face God and face judgment, I pray they choose Christ, cause if not there headed for a eternity of God not being there which is hell

You misunderstand.
Christians KNOW that every person on this earth will experience physical death, (unless they are still living when Jesus returns for His Bride (Christians) before the Great Tribulation prophesied of in Revelation) otherwise these bodies fade away, age, and fail because these bodies are mortal.

Mankind's soul and spirit, that which makes you who and what you uniquely are NEVER dies. It is immortal.

Mankind's immortal soul/spirit will EITHER spend eternity in Heaven, where they receive a new perfect body that will never die, never age, never get sick, & never hurt or lack anything. The promised new body must not change much "appearance" wise, because the disciples/multitudes that followed Jesus recognized Jesus after His resurrection to new life.

Or EITHER for mankind who rejects, dismisses, ignores Jesus Christ while they are alive on earth, their new bodies that hold their soul/spirit will spend eternity in The Lake Of Fire.

Mankind has a choice to make while they are alive and living on this earth. Mankind may chose Jesus Christ as their only and personal Lord and Savior and are promised a new, unendng life in Heaven...

OR...

Mankind chooses to ignore, dismiss, or reject Jesus Christ while they are alive and living on this earth and that decision of theirs guarantees them eternal damnation in The Lake Of Fire with Satan for eternity.

The rub is this:

No man knows the hour and day of their death. No man knows the hour and the day of Jesus return for His Bride (Christians). And tomorrow is promised to no one.

That is why Jesus says, "THIS DAY, I offer you life or death, curses or blessings. Choose LIFE NOW, because tomorrow is promised to no one."

well some who call themselves Christians don't believe in death, but Christians who believe the Bible is the word of God do believe believe in death & await a ressurection

(Ecclesiastes 3:18-21) 18 I, even I, have said in my heart with regard to the sons of mankind that the [true] God is going to select them, that they may see that they themselves are beasts. 19 For there is an eventuality as respects the sons of mankind and an eventuality as respects the beast, and they have the same eventuality. As the one dies, so the other dies; and they all have but one spirit, so that there is no superiority of the man over the beast, for everything is vanity. 20 All are going to one place. They have all come to be from the dust, and they are all returning to the dust. 21 Who is there knowing the spirit of the sons of mankind, whether it is ascending upward; and the spirit of the beast, whether it is descending downward to the earth?

(Ecclesiastes 9:5) 5 For the living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all, neither do they anymore have wages, because the remembrance of them has been forgotten.

is that plain eneough, you see most of christendom is taught by people with ideas that were intergrated from pagan teaching. They claim to believe in the Bible except when it says something they don't agree with

(Matthew 7:21-23) 21 “Not everyone saying to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the kingdom of the heavens, but the one doing the will of my Father who is in the heavens will. 22 Many will say to me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and expel demons in your name, and perform many powerful works in your name?’ 23 And yet then I will confess to them: I never knew YOU! Get away from me, YOU workers of lawlessness.

Your body is but a shell, it is your soul / spirit that lives eternally. So yes this physical shell will perish, but who I am will live forever. And for me as a Christian that means being in the presence of the Lord God.

As Christians we believe that our bodies die but our soul/spirit lives forever. And if you think about it as long as someone that cares about you is still alive you will live on in their memory....

I've been Catholic my entire life and have never heard of people NOT dying. We all die. Our physical bodies stop working, they decease, die. It's our souls that God made in His image (spiritual) that never die. OUr souls live forever either in Heaven or hell.

Some Christians believe in the Rapture. Some believe in the second coming of Christ. With the second coming, it's belief (my faith) that our souls go to hell or Heaven or Purgatory after we die. Then when Jesus returns, He will have the final judgment on all souls. He will raise the dead, our bodies, but they will look anew and our souls will be reunited with our bodies. We will face Jesus (the souls in Purgatory) for final judgment and then Purgatory will no longer exist. At that time, our souls along with our bodies will either go to hell or Heaven for eternity.
