Death; wassup with that?

Why do we die? It don't make sense that we HAVE to die, if u ask me.

concept no. 1 : It is natural to die.

Is it? Out of billions of sperm, only we entered the egg. Of the thousands germs that bombard us each minute, hardly any can kill us. When we face danger, our bodies give of hormones and produce super-human reflexes and strength to save us. When a person is born, we rejoice and celebrate. But why then do we mourn if a person dies? Is it not natural for us to die, so shouldn't we be happy about it? How can death be natural then?I dunno about you, but it seems we were made to SURVIVE rather than DIE. It seems more natural to me to survive, than it is natural to die!

concept no 2 : To die is to die physically.

We all have heard of near-death experiences. Our bodies can be hurt so badly that to die is what is logical. Yet people HAVE survived. We as Christians preach Jesus resurected i.e., he came back from the dead. Yet, his body isn't around. He stands resurected because his spirit has come back from the dead. If to die is to die physically, then to live is to live physically. How can that be the case if Jesus was resurected? When we let the days simply go by, we are not living our lives. We are physically there, but we are not living! Then death is nothing physical afterall!

concept no 3 : man were created so that he dies in the end.

this one's tough. when it comes to creation of man the only reference material i have is the bible. and guess what? this is what it says about man and his creation;

• God created man in his own image; male and female.
• God blessed them - then asked them to be fruitful and increase in number.
• fill the earth and subdue it.
• give them green plant for food.

adam also lived for a long time; 930 years. He died in the end, but why? Also, God never commanded man to die, did he? he said be fruitful and increase in number. That sounds like he's asking us to live.

------------------------------

now here's why i think man dies; if it were about creation, then it was because of sin. God's 'punishment' for sin was death, and as man who has sin in them, they die.

If it were about biology, then it would be about replacement i.e. one has to die so that another may survive.

death itself is a subjective term. when exactly does a person die, and what happens after that? If our spirit truly lives on, then indeed we do not die, we merely exist in a different form.

what do you think? WHY DO WE NEED TO DIE? post up ur comments! but plz post em under comments for this post, and not in my CBox! i might actually phase out that whole Cbox thingy. lol
