5-27-2017 Things that don't die are called cancer.

Everything living must die.

It is the cycle of life...Believe it or not, you/we will eventually become soil...and parts of you/we could be fossilized for further study...What the hell did I just say?

Our bodies wear out, we all have a shelf life.

Because we must. And it is the price we pay for ever having lived in the first place.

We don't you think that because you identify with the body...

Only the physical body dies the spirit and resurrected body lives on forever

If anybody dies without Jesus they die the second death and that is not being dead as we know it. It is when the Holy Spirit leaves then it is eternal suffering with no relief beyond any imagination. But with Jesus we die only once and life is forever.

Think of it this way this life you have now is like a holding pen but what you do in it will determine your destination to your permanent new home were you will not die. It's a testing ground, a taste, a sampling, of what can be forever if your willing to do good and prove your worth ..

only the body dies... it was just your temporary home.

This is the universal question, other than why was I born? To find the answer to both questions is as easy as opining your Bible. One of the responses posted stated (cause someone decided to eat an apple a long time ago). In a nutshell that is correct, but if you look a little deeper into the cause and effect of the story, the issue is about obedience. If you were to read the first 3 chapters in Genesis; it breaks down that God created everything, that would include Angles, Universe, Animals, then Man, then Woman. Genesis 1:31 says "And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day". KJV Then in Chapter 2 starting with verse 16 says "And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die". KJV So basically God created Adam and then said along with everything I've done for you, life, food, work, and then a wife, He only asked for one thing in return; Not to eat from only one tree. Did you notice the penalty for disobeying that request? Death. So logically speaking if the first human couple had showed obedience to God and not ate that fruit, they would have never died. Sadly chapter 3 goes on to show that the first human couple was not obedient and ate the fruit and suffered the consequenc, it says in Genesis 3:19 "In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return". So if you believe in God, and that the Bible is His word. This is what happened to them. So then why do we die? Think about this; a genetic defect will transfer from a parent to a child, right? So now the first human couple could only pass down the genetics of death. But! that is not the end of the story.

Supposedly with the research in genetics and nanobots immortality will be possible by the end of the decade. Revelation 9:6 And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.*****Isaiah 28:18 And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it.

It's evolution. Younger generations are made - those more fit to survive not only take the resources required for continued life away from those less fit from their own generation, but also from the older generations. It's what drives trends toward generations that are more robust. So, everything that can reproduce must not only be able to perish, but must also be destined to do so in order to make room for others to experience life. As a result of this, one should never hesitate a moment longer than necessary to do anything in life. Life is more precious because of this cold fact, and, most importantly, we should never hesitate to let others know how we feel about them unless we are perfectly fine with never saying it. Every moment you are alive is an anomaly.

Everything that has a beginning must have an end which means that our lives are like a sand timer without being turned upside down again. Once we pass away, we are gone forever and that's all there is to it. When you start reading a book, you will reach the end eventually and the same context applies to each of our lives.
