Yes he did. It was planned for us to live forever, but Adam ruined it by disobeying God which caused sin and punishment for sin is death. So that is why Jesus was sent here to become the Ransom of our sins so we could be saved if we believe in him and take him into our hearts so that we could have that everlasting life that God intended for us to have in the first place.

Let’s understand that man is a tripartite being, that is, he is composed of three parts - body, soul and spirit. I Thessalonians 5:23. The first part is material being, the other two are non-material. (eternal)
Job asked, “If a man die, shall he live again?” This question has been asked for millenniums. It is still a universal question. It is a subject of perennial interest. That those whom we love should die and be buried does not seem right; and it is not! God never made man to die; He created him to live and to have fellowship with Himself. But sin brought death and the grave, thus separation from God.
Death in Scripture always means “separation.” Physical death is the separation of the soul and spirit from the body. Spiritual death is the eternal, complete, final separation from God (Rev. 21:8).
Life means “union” (John 3:16). Death means “separation” (Rom. 8:35-39).
Now, at the time of death, the soul and spirit leave the body. The body is put into the grave. In the case of believers, the body is described as sleeping, Acts 7:59, 60; 8:2, while the unsaved person's body is spoken of as dead. The soul and spirit never sleep. If the person who died was saved, the soul and the spirit go to a place of joy and happiness – heaven. II Corinthians 5:8; Phil. 1:21- 23. If the person was unsaved, the spirit and soul go to a place of sorrow and punishment - hell. In Luke 16:19-31, our Lord clearly teaches that those who have died are conscious.
Revelation 21:1-8. The final picture of the future is the eternal state. The earth as we know it will have been destroyed by fire. Time, as we know it, will have ceased. All true believers will be enjoying endless happiness in heaven. All who have rejected the Savior will be suffering in the blackness of darkness forever. The ultimate question that faces each one of us and must be answered by each one of us as we draw to the end of our earthly life of What the Bible Teaches is "Where will I spend eternity?"

All creations; universe, glaxies, earth are moving in a specific order & way! Every thing seems to be purposfull and balanced
Life is created with intelligence - natural wisdom (nature) in different shapes, sheds and colors!
Mankind is the best selection of God hence its begining and ending must be more purposfull!!
Mankind is the only creation which is awarded a Free Will / choice of selection hence a second life is must to judge this award!
I think this is the reason ...why every religion reminds us " The Judgement Day "!

yeah i guess your "since we had the beginning we will have the ending" talk is right. But the bible says that we will die first and then God will come back, raise everyone up, bring the people back to heaven, and then we live there for 10,000 years. Jesus then will remake the earth, destroy all the bad people, and then make a new heaven on this old, bad earth. That's what i think and believe in..

Yes.
It is written that people that will resist until the end will be graced by God. And after judgement all will live forever. Of course in another manner that we can imagine.
Try to imagine this situation:
We are like an infant inside of mather body. And after few month of living that infant can think about his live. For him, the life outside of mather body maybe something scaring. And also 80 years of living also like eternity. And also: can belive that infant in mother????
How can understant a baby inside of his mother how is it she?
Is like our question about God.
When we die, we pass from this world in the REAL world. In the Kingdom of Heaven. And ther we can see the our Lord.
And that live will anyway endless.

Scientifically?we were put here on Earth ,by a huge Mother -ship,the lenght of four foot ball fields;it is nuclear -powered ,by a process ,called : "photon-drive" it travels 30,000M.P.H. in outer space,in the Earths atmosphere"? it switches to "Plasma drive"using electrodes that carries a voltage of 20,000 volts to power the electrodes hidden under the skin of the Mother-ship.The speed of the mother-ship is?18,000 volts,using a high voltage inverter.The reactors atomic pellets are changed every five years,and the used ones are recharged,to be used again and again,nothing is wasted,even the oxygen that the crew breath,is? recycled,these mother ship gets their water from the oceans of the earth or from planets that hav an abundance of water, the aliens seed every planet with human seedlings to populate the universe ,ther are other planets with humans like you and me,not like the Hollywood depiction of one eyed monsters ,there are only humanrace in all the planetssome lives up to 500 years old.

Our worldly life is limited. The earth itself would be shaken with mighty earthquake and the mountains would be reduced to dust. Then will begin the day of reckoning.
Those who loved God Almighty and acted as per HIs commands would be saved by HIm and will live an eternal life.
Rest would be punished for their crimes and than vanish into
oblivion.

Only Christians will live forever. God created mankind to live forever but then Adam sinned. And then death entered the world. All unbelievers will perish one by one in the lake of fire. And then God will destroy the earth itself. No one knows when of course.

No, only God lives forever.
In order for YOU to live forever, you have to take a piece of God and insert it in your body. Since your body dies after 100 years (give or take), this is your only hope.
Actually, that's exactly what God offers through Jesus. He passes on to us the Holy Spirit as long as we're willing to be one of his children.
Heck of a deal, if you think about it...
