Some think that death is the end.?

Question

If our lives are simply a few years of life and then oblivion what is exactly the point of living at all?
Perhaps, and i hope this changes some view points, that we are1st step: concieved, 2nd step: grown in the womb, 3rd step: born, 4th step: life, 5th step: (Death) Reborn into a spiritual form when our body dies, 6th step: ?
In order to achieve all these steps correctly we need certain things.
In order to be reborn into a healthy spiritual form we need to grow and live right while we are here. If we do not it is in my opinion akin to a premature birth in the spiritual realm.
If you truely believe you will be nothing after you die then perhaps you will or worse yet you will be lost unable to accept the spiritual reality of your new exisistance.
Therefore i ask you to open your minds to the possiblity of all things so you wont be confused and lost after death.
These are my thoughts please let me know yours. What do you think on this subject?

So far i have heard a great many of you say we have no purpose get over it(Basically). This just shows me that there are many more ignorant children in the world than understanding adults. To those of you who can see beyond the material world thank you. To those of you who can only see what is front of you God help you.

Answer 1

Well, the theory offers hope. It means that even in death, there is a chance for people to find there way. If you are correct, then judgment isn't final. It would be nice if this was true. That would give people the proof they need and the time to accept it.

best wishes.

Answer 2

Death temporarily ends life. However, Revelation 214 refers to death as a former thing. Revelation 20: 13 says the Grave and Death and the Sea gave up the dead in it. Therefore there is a hope of a resurrection for those who have died. Even, Revelation 6: 8 personifies death, by saying 'rides on a horse' but the Grave follows it closely behind. So there will come an end to death! These are just some of the promises God has given. Now can you imagine the kind of world we would be living in? What kind of society does God promise? How will he bring it? The Bible gives us a satisfying answer.

Answer 3

In all honesty- pseudo intellectual nonsense- everything we know about the universe around us shows us that it abhores stagnation- all things must end to make room for new possibilities- the idea that human consiousness is somehow exempt from this is absurd to say the least. People talk about the 'point' of living and the 'meaning of life'. If you just get over yourself for one minute you'd realise that things like points and meanings are only of any relevance to a sentient being- they are entirely self serving, so in essence your asking 'whats the point of the point'.
Whats so bad about the idea of not existing anyway? You've spent most of the universes existence not existing- it's life thats the abberation.
Why do you feel that existence would be less valuable if it is impermanent?
People that worry about what happens after they die do my head in- it's the equivalent of being halfway through a really good film, only to have some retard at the back nudge you, asking "Whats going on? Hows it going to end?" The only reasonable reply is-SHUT UP AND WATCH THE BLOODY FILM AND YOU'LL FIND OUT AND STOP MUNCHING THAT POPCORN! Well, the analogy falls down at the pop-corn bit but you get my point...

Answer 4

My first question to you is why does life have to have a point other than life in the first place? I find it very arrogant that people think they're somehow special and have a purpose in this thing we call life.

Does a dog have a purpose? What about a dolphin? What about a cicada? It lives for 17 years underground then one day climbs up, molts and becomes an adult. It's only purpose at that point is to reproduce so the next generation of cicadas can be born.

The point of life is to live it, bring about the next generation and once they're able to take care of themselves your purpose is over. It's only through the miracles of modern medicine that we're able to extend a person's lifespan beyond the point where they're really necessary. Bringing this "life after death" nonsense into the equation just means you're afraid to accept the idea that you don't matter in the cosmic scheme of things.

Answer 5

Interesting speculation.
Kind of a welding together of immortal soul and reincarnation.

Many people have thought long and hard about what seems to be a mystery.
Yet, when we come to understand what had been written long ago in the most cohesive context, we can see that, there si no need to agonize over the 'possibilities' of what will happen after this life.
The certainties are clear and simple.
Life, was intended for humans, to be never ending.
By reason of the fact that we have inherited death, and that this has been going on for thousands of years, had allowed the fact that this was not our original design, to become, cloudy.
Yet, when we can start to see, that there is an Almighty God, who's purposes can not be diverted, we begin to understand that he has from the beginning of the corruption of his creation, had a way out for all who want it.
There has never been a need, for an 'immortal' part of man. The invention of this doctrine was born out of further lies from Satan. Why? Because man was created with the yearning to live forever, by reason of the fact that he was created to live forever.
Satan, tricked the first human pair by saying "you positively will not die", and yet they did die. Then, he lied to the offspring of the first pair by giving them the lie that "you will not die" by reason of the immortal soul".
Yet, if God created man to live forever on the earth, why would man ever need an immortal 'soul'?
The fact is, he would not.
The truth in it's simplest form is this: Man, was created to live on the earth, forever.The earth, was created so that humans would live on it forever.

Most of the world's great religions, including Christianity until it was restructured by Pope Constantine in the sixth century, accepted the truth of reincarnation and eternal cycles of the soul between this world and the Other Side. Even in translations of the Bible written after Pope Constantine, five or six references to reincarnation and our cycles from here to The Other Side remain intact. Just one example: The ninth chapter of John tells the story of a man who was born blind. The disciples asked Jesus, "Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?" In other words, the disciples acknowledged the possiblity that being born blind might be this man's punishment for sins he committed. But since he was born blind, when could he have commited the sin unless it was in a previous life? The only other possiblitity would seem to be when he was in the womb, and my guess is that even if he had tried to commit sins inside the womb he wouldn't have had enough room in there to get away with them. A more obvious reference to reincarnation occurs in Matthew, Chapter 17. Jesus was talking to Peter, James and John and said, "Elijah does come, and he is to restore all things; but I tell you that Elijah has already come, and they did not know him, but did to him whatever they pleased." Verse 13 reads, "Then the disciples understood that he was speaking to them of John the Baptist." Now, we know that in one of his other incarnations Elijah was very widely recognized as being Elijah. So obviously, if a time came when "they did not know him," it was in a different incarnation, which the disciples understood to be John the Baptist, who was beheaded by King Herod, which is about as clear an example of "did to him whatever they pleased" as you could ask for. These quotes are from the Revised Standard Version of the Bible, long after Pope Constantine decided to exclude the concept of reincarnation from Christianity.

Answer 7

My mind is certainly open to the possibility of what you've described. Now all you have to do is show me one shred of evidence that it's true.

"If our lives are simply a few years of life and then oblivion what is exactly the point of living at all?"

If this life is all we have, then the point of living is to get all the experience, enrichment, and happiness out of it that we can. Why would you think something is worthless just because because it isn't eternal? When you're eating a hamburger, you know it will eventually be all gone. But while it lasts, doesn't it taste good?

Answer 8

If you'd like a completely nihilistic answer, here it is:

1. Be born. 2. Grow. 3. Consume. 4. Die

I don't see death as the continuation of anything, so I strongly suspect I won't be 'lost after death'. I know Percy Bysshe Shelly wrote a dreadful, maudlin poem about death, in which he wittered on about 'What is death? 'Tis but immortality', but I can't take that as any more proof of existence after death than most poorly considered religious doctrines.

The prospect of no further existence after death does not deprive my life of meaning. If anything, it gives me a sense of certainty about my life now, rather than constantly living in the shadow of some fear of returning as an insect, or being consigned to hell.

Why do I need a collection of myths - which really have more to do with our fear of death as the extinguisher of our egos - inspire me to be any better than I already am?

Answer 9

The life we live here on Earth, in this life; is the stepping stone to the next. If we are so plastic, materialistic, and caustic, we will be unable to acknowledge and comprehend the next. I can boldy and confidently say that the Lord has taken such good care of me in this dismal Earthly life, how can I not believe he wouldn't do the same for the next?

Answer 10

I believe we were souls in heaven,Very close to god.One day God left us on earth with some tasks: to live a good life, to help others,to enjoy his blessings.But God is stil watching us.At the end ,he will com and take us with him to heaven.To live on earth,God gave us a body.This entity,that is man ,who has a body and soul is valid on earth.which clearly means that satan is invalid on earth sinse he is also a soul.thats y he needs a body to function,heard of people being possessed?As such our body is made of dust.after death,v wil hav a spiritual union with god.This body is not our identity.V hav not seen our true self.V are all scared of death because v donot know what it is,v fear the unknown.But one thing is 4 surethat v wil enjoy greater heights of happiness that v could not even hav dreamt of.
