Because everybody sins, everybody dies.
we will all die, yes me too.
But I can and have given all my sins to the attention of Jesus and asked for forgiveness. He forgave me and now I have eternal life.
...but after this first dead on earth you will receive eternal life if you belief in Jesus.
I understand you dont belief me immideately, but i'm speaking out of knowledge that this is true.
This body will die and wither and rot and eventually wash away...
Imaging this: life without death,
So you got a choice:
1 belief it's oblivion after death and spend your whole life trying to figure out a way to be physicly immortal, which will be a waste of time since all people that tried this before you have died
2 live your life without worries with the knowledge of eternal life after dead.
....I'm not telling every detail that I know. just see that line out of the bible as the truth, because it is the truth.
Well, Mr. Hangman, everytime we see these "memes", I repost my Bryan Swinney "Rev O'Rights, Rev(olutions per minute)" Repost. We never get satisfactory answers, perhaps you could take a crack at it. At the risk of boring older members, I give you the following.....
I do not, and cannot concur with your most inaccurate view of your own religion. I am not much of a religious authority, but I would draw your attention to a number of verses from YOUR Bible. Reading the document doesn't depend upon any special respect for the Bible as a sacred text (something I have never felt), or upon the acceptance of a Judaic-Christian belief system. But what I have found in these Biblical quotations is a special feeling that seems quite absent from modern religious teachings: a feeling about life and death. Through these words, echoing across the centuries, I hope they awakening passion that somehow seems to have been lost, even among religions and alleged religious people who cliam that they revere these words as holy yet today.
Behold, I shew you a mystery; we shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
1 Corinthians 15:51-53
The more I read these words, the more one thing becomes increasingly clear: the "how" of immortality was as much a mystery for these people as it often is today, but this did not diminish their desire for an unending life of the flesh. These people felt the awful imposition of death, and hungered for an end to it. They didn't know all the details of how this was going to happen, but this didn't stop them from feeling the hunger.
Almost all organized religions offer some sort of afterlife as solace for the necessity of physical death. Most forms of modern Christianity, for example, talk about eternal life only as a heavenly existence. Many people are surprised, then, to find that the Bible speaks openly of physical immortality.
Yea, his soul draweth near unto the grave, and his life to the destroyers.If there be a messenger with him, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to shew unto man his uprightness,
Then he is gracious unto him, and saith: Deliver him from going down to the pit: I have found a ransom.
His flesh shall be fresher than a child's: he shall return to the days of his youth.
Job 33:22-25.
Many biblical references to eternal life are often interpreted in spiritual context, but this is clearly and dramatically physical. Life is spoken of as being destroyed by death. Death itself is referred to as "going down to the pit." And the alternative is depicted in unmistakable biological terms: "His flesh shall be fresher than a child's: he shall return to the days of his youth."
Following is another, simple, reference.
The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.
1 Corinthians 15:26
Here, death is referred to, not as an entrance to some heavenly existence, but as an "enemy," to be "destroyed." Following is a reference by Christ to physical immortality.
Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death.
This reference is perhaps the most unquestionably physical of all of Christ's comments on the subject. It begins with Jesus asserting that his followers will "never see death." Note that he doesn't say that they will survive death, as he might if he was speaking of an afterlife, he says that they will never even see it. So when you say that everyone must die, that's really more your personal opinion, and not any mem that one would be wise to follow.
Listen to what is being said here. Jesus says that his follwers will experience endless life. You and other modern religious authorities may try to explain these statements away by way of various interpretatons based on your own dogma. But a simple, unbiased reading of the text indicates clearly that the Bible is speaking of physical immortality as a desired and promised goal.
So, if you've been thinking that death is inevitable because it is part of the law of God, then you'll have to look elsewhere for justification.
It is clear, from the verses given above, that many of the contributors to the Bible were talking about physical immortality, about life in the flesh. As I've already pointed out, through, this is not a subject much discussed in religious circles these days. Modern religions, and not just Christian ones, prefer to talk about spiritual eternity. Death is seen as a gateway to a better world. Christians talk about heaven. Hindus speak of reincarnation. New age believers describe an ascension to a spiritual plane of existence. All of them see life here on earth as limited, and see death as a release to a better place. Hidden amidst the great diversity of available religions is an unspoken agreement: this life here on earth is just a stepping stone to our ultimate destination.
This well-nigh universal belief in an afterlife has helped to make death seem not only palatable, but actually attractive.
Humanity deserves some fresh options, some core beliefs systems that depict life on earth as desirable and maintainable.
"Our hope of immortality does not come from any religion, but clearly all religions come from that hope."
Live long and well,
The First Immortal, Rev. William O'Rights.
This body will die and wither and rot and eventually wash away with some river perhaps, but when you belief in Jesus, you will receive a new immortal body that doesn't get sick and doesn't die. There won't be sin in heaven.
