It is all part of the cycle of life. Would you like to live for ever? You might think being immortal is cool, but you would not be happy, believe me. We live and die so that others can take our place. The only way you sort of achieve immortality is through your children. Your DNA can be passed on from generation to generation. Even if we lived forever young, at some point we"d get bored, and would be pleading with God to take us. At some point we would see our longevity as a punishment rather than a blessing. We really do not fully understand the nature of God or God's ways. It is a mystery. That is why we rely on faith. Either we believe or we don't believe. Most of us have an intrinsic need to believe. It gives us hope, particularly during difficult times in our lives. As a rule, most of us think in impirical terms. We use reason, math, and science to try to explain natural phenomena. In many ways we have created our own little world based on our capacity to understand and interpret natural phenomena. I am sure all species have an understanding of their world which is based on their cognitive capabilities. Although humans are much more advanced, and have achieved much in making sense of this world, they are still limited like all of the other creatures. For example, we can not understand the concept of something coming from nothing. We keep asking ourselves: If God made man, who made God? But I believe that our condition is in keeping with our nature; no more and no less.

are you crazy? Who would want to live forever? I mean really, can you imagine how boring life would become. Besides God does not make us die. Death is a part of the cycle of life that he created. It is natural and I believe necessary. You would not appriciate your life if you were not gonna die someday. Life would not be precious. Another thing is that only the body dies. Our souls will live forever and be in heaven with God which will be better than anything here on earth or in our short lives. It is unfathomable the joy and peace and happiness we will find. If you believe the Bible that is.

God does not make us die - we wear out. In historic Biblical times people lived hundreds of years. Man's rebellion against God caused a reduction in years that us as descendants need to live with.
Truth is, we will probably be the longest living modern generation as we continue to pollute and over consume.

He didn't make us die, God has never forced his children to do any thing. We chose to follow Gods plan which included coming here to obtain a physical body. There was no death until Adam and Even partook of the forbidden fruit which God told them that they should not eat.
Death and life are not ugly things, the corruption of mans mentality makes it seem that way though.

In the Bible, the major idea is that life is not permanent, and there are better things to come. Countless times, the Bible says life as we know it is not permanent. Life is really just a test we must all go through, as is death. If Jesus went through it for us, we can go through it for Him. It also shows this lesson in the way that we should not depend on material things, such as iPods, iPhones, cars, games to make us happy, because in the end, what is are they really? We cannot take them with us when we go. They wont make us live longer.

Your life as spirit with God is your primary reality.
This life as a body is your secondary reality.
Its purpose is learning. Once the learning has been accomplished we get to go home.
This is were dieing comes in very handy.
Love and blessings Don

Death is part of life, not separate from it. In fact death is the most important lesson that life has to offer. But don't worry about it, it is the body and ego that dies, who you are in truth is eternal.

If you believe the Christian Philosophy. Before we separated ourselves from Perfection, we did not have death nor pain. When we did, we accepted imperfection. We had preternatural gifts, no pain nor death, but we choose to give them up through our will which God respects.

because this world is only we "borrow" because he want to bring us back into life at the land of ressurection.The God will ask you what do you do at the world.When you are at the land, The God will tell us to go to the heaven or hell!
(Why do you die, because the God want us to stay at his heaven or hell, because many people at this world want to go to the heaven or die!)
