why do we have to die?

Answer 1

Everything that lives... dies.

But not everything that dies... truly lives.

Answer 2

Adam didn't die the day he ate from the forbidden fruit. He lived about 10 times longer than any of us! God is known to be a first class teaser! Now he can send his only begotten son to die for the sin of Adam... in spite of the fact that God said that Children don't pay for the sins of the fathers until Saint Paul came up with the idea that "In Adam we all die"!!!

Adam, the author of the ORIGINAL sin was blessed with a longer lifetime while we all die relatively young. So, I like your question...

Answer 3

Because we were created physical, of the earth, and subject to decay.

Most people do not understand what real death is however. Notice when God spoke to Adam and Eve about the forbidden fruit that in the day they were to eat of it, they would die. They did not die physically that day, but they were separated from God. To God, that is death for us.

Our physical deaths, like so many other things we experience, is to be a lesson to learn. When our loved ones die, they are separated from us and we are sorrowful. Well, how does God feel then when the children of His creation separate themselves from Him?

But if one is reconciled to God; born of God, the death of the body is not the death of the individual:

John 11:26 And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?

I Cor. 15, Paul talks about a new body for Christians; an incorruptible body to replace this body subject to corruption.

This body we have must "die".

1 Corinthians 15:42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:
43 It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:
44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.

So we experience a temporary separation from the ones we love, but it is temporary.

Answer 4

Because we're all just part of nature . All living things , plant and animal , including humans ,have the same path to follow . We come , grow up , raise our families , and die .
This is natural , understandable , believable , and desireable .

Answer 5

Bodies get old and wear out. Some people choose to drink themselves to death. Some choose to smoke and get lung cancer. Some choose to sleep around with anyone and everyone and get an STD.

Some choose to abuse drugs, use dirty needles, and get AIDS and die.


Some get just get cancer and die. The body gets old and wears out.

Death is a part of life.

Answer 6

The human soul comes into incarnation to work out its divine plan as it is in the mind of the creative logos of our planet and this may take several incarnations to develop.We all work in cycles and every once ina while we have to discard the physical shell for that of a more refined one that is sensitive to the energies of the soul .

Answer 7

Well the parts only last so long, use them for 60 or 80 years and they start to wear out. It's amazing they are even capable of lasting that long. Plus, gotta make room for other humans.

Answer 8

Because too much of anything is not good. Would you want all your enemies to live forever too? That could get tedious. And after so many decades, people get tired of reinventing themselves and coping with constant change. They get "set in their ways" and refuse to recognize the world as it is. If one generation won't make way for another, progress will slow way down.

Change is good. Death is just another change.

Answer 9

We have to die because our bodies wear out and become unable to function.

Answer 10

Because all living things age and eventually die.

Answer 11

Yes because of sin.
As the bible says:
Hebrews 9:27-28
27Just as man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment, 28so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many people; and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him.

-Salvation in Jesus Christ brings us eternal life-- we pass from death to life-- Praise God for Him! Those who are saved in Him will pass from judgment to eternal life-- for we who believe in Jesus Christ have been set free from sin, through believing that He died and rose again-- which He did!
