What is death?

Regardless of race, religion, geographical area, or time period, every human has wondered about the one fact of life that unifies us all: What is death?

Throughout history, different mythologies and theologies have explained the nature of death in countless ways, ranging from total annihilation to immediate life after death in the presence of God … or in torment. Some groups allow their dead to “work off” their badness and eventually reach paradise. Others envision life after death filled with a never-ending abundance of the pleasures of earthly life. Some teach that the dead are rewarded by becoming gods unto themselves, while others teach earthly reincarnation based on the deeds of the previous life.

Regardless of a person’s particular belief system, however, the fact remains that death is the end of life … or at least life as we know it. Death, dying, and the afterlife are all shrouded in deep mystery, cloaked in darkness and generally surrounded by fear and apprehension. The very idea of death strikes fear into many people’s hearts.

But it doesn’t have to be this way.

Human beings are totally powerless to prevent or overcome death. Our mightiest efforts to defend ourselves from the grave ultimately end in failure. Everyone dies. We can be thankful, however, that not everyone is as powerless over death as we are!

It is logical to assume that the source of all life would also hold the keys to death. Additionally, that source would explain the whole thing to us so we can take advantage of the solution to death if we so choose. We hope that when you understand the nature of death, you’ll see the beauty and logic of the plan to overcome it.

..It is always good to live according to the dictate of our creator ...'GOD' for without God man is Nothing!!!


VIEWERS DISCRETION IS STRONGLY ADVISED......!!!!!

Any study of the nature of death begs an important foundational question: Why must things die in the first place?

Indeed, death is a grand mystery.

Interestingly, scientific research into single-celled organisms reveals that the nature of life, on a cellular level, does not automatically include a self-destruct mechanism for death. In other words, it appears that death is an unnatural part of life. Yet despite this, everything on earth eventually dies

Many lines of religious thought simply accept the inevitability of death and instead try to offer better alternatives that await the faithful in the afterlife. These ideas bring comfort to many people who have lost loved ones or are facing death themselves, but they leave others wondering, “Why must death exist? Wouldn’t an all-powerful God eradicate death? Shouldn’t all life inherently live forever?”

The mystery of death is so profound that, despite the millennia of religious doctrine, mythology, scientific research, and the many theories and explanations that exist on the subject, people today are more confused than ever about it. Even within individual religious groups there is often a stark difference of opinion on the nature of death. To see this, walk around a cemetery and note the different inscriptions on the tombstones.



...VIEWERS DISCRETION IS ADVISED HERE PLEASE!!!!!!

Clearly, the only way to decipher this profound mystery is to find an authoritative source of truth that will expose all error and remove the need for speculation. Are we fortunate enough to have such an authority? We believe so

The subjects of death and religion are inherently linked. If something does await us after we die, a supernatural being like a god must be involved. It stands to reason, then, that we should look to religious texts to find information about death

...Beauty is even vain..!

See this....

--Man quizzed after model and beauty queen is stabbed to death at east London flat.

--Murdered: Katya Koren was attacked after taking part in a beauty contest.



No respect for Beauty! Fame or popularity!

However, there are many religious texts available today, and they do not all say the same thing about death. In fact, one of the reasons there are so many opinions about death is the diverse array of religious doctrines on the subject. So how do we know which text, if any, will guide our search correctly?


What is life?

Is there life after death?

What is the purpose of religion? You’ll probably get many different answers to that question, depending on who you’re talking with. However, many religious skeptics claim that religion exists merely as a vehicle for humanity to attempt to explain the unexplainable aspects of life and, ultimately, mollify the masses’ fears about death.

The logical conclusion when deciding that religious thinking is manmade mythology is that death is the absolute end of life; there is no life, no hope, no existence at all beyond the grave. Some people find comfort in this naturalistic point of view, because it releases them from any responsibility toward any god and leaves them to enjoy their lives as they see fit. This line of thinking grew in popularity throughout the 20th century.

This type of skepticism, however, doesn’t stop many people from wondering what, if anything, awaits us on the “other side” of death. Death and the afterlife remain a source of confusion, mystery, and fear for many people.

Is there an afterlife? If so, is it immediate? Is it bodily or spiritual? How is it different than the life we know now? Is everything bigger and better? Do we gain more wisdom? More power? Where does this life take place? When does it occur?

We believe there is a plan to overcome death, and we can learn about this plan from an absolutely authoritative source. The truth about death offers answers to these questions and more.

..we all will leave YOUNG, OLD, RICH POWERFUL, BEAUTIFUL,EDUCATED,POOR ...ETC one day check your life today and be prepared!!

..vanity,vanity and all is vanity..!

OP I can't help but agree with you in toto on this. Death itself is mystery. That it could break bounds to take the most secured, even compounded the matter.

Of all religious materials available on the subject of death, the BIBLE (God's Authority) gives the most insightful teaching.

The problem is that our "men of God" had severally and diversely interpreted same (probably to suit the calling and intent).

OP I'll just add this to all you've said

Life is but a fruit in its seasons.
The different times billed for the diffferent transmogrifications come in succession.
There comes life, grooming, a little more time and then- death...

None is gonna stay forever.

I sometimes wonder how and when I'm gonna die...I know it's times not less that aged-enough though.

But one thing is sure -My flesh will die but my soul and name shall survive.

I can't help but to shade tears, not that am weak just that i know just one day i will be laid down like this. Look at the likes of
Nelson mandela
Goldie
Michael jackson
Sam Loco
Fela
where are the now? All things in this life are vanity, is just left for us to keep our way straight with God.

Touching!

true talk

vanity upon vanity. binti laye

This is very touching.
Death is truly inevitable,the most important thing is to make a mark before it catches up with you and be prepared for the 'afterlife'(if such exits).
For what shall it profit a man to gain the whole world but loss the kingdom of God -as said in the bible.

And for the atheist,of what gain is it to believe that God doesnt exist but later discover he truly exist after your death.(Think Smart and live a humble life)
