Neither are possible, because without death and suffering, one is not living at all, in that the concept of life cannot exist without death. Life without suffering is equally unthinkable, because without suffering, one cannot understand pleasure or happiness. A life without suffering would only cause suffering from the boredom.

No suffering would be best IMHO.
Lots of people suffer in silence, people in crappy jobs who can't get themselves out, people in abusive relationships. In general, people who are unable for whatever reason to effectively help themselves. That's a terrible kind of suffering, some would choose death over that and have.

Hard choice. I dislike both...
But I'd have to go with having a life where suffering did not exist. I can't stand the thought of living forever in one place.

I already have a life where death does not exist.
Jesus conquered death.
:-)
Without suffering, how could I appreciate what Jesus did for me?
I am thankful for things just the way they are!

There will never be a choice like that to be made as long as you follow God's commandments and love him with everything that you are. "If ye love me, keep my commandments" (John 14:15) If we are truly blessed, we will dwell in God's new Jerusalem and walk upon God's new earth. I for one believe God's word and you will find it all written in the bible.

I would prefer to live the way God intended for us to live in the beginning. No suffering and no death.

that's hard!! i'd choose life without death cuz if someone you really, really love dies then you would suffer and we need suffering so we can learn how to deal with it later in our lives.

I'd rather a life of free will & responsibility.

Both options defy the definition of life, therefore, neither.
