Mintayo:
God has a purpose for us all,and until we have fulfil that purpose,we are not suppose to accept death no matter what.
I love your above answer to ooman.

I agree with you on that... But are you saying that no matter what happens, the purpose must actualise in the life of every believer before death?

well if i get you right,it depends on the individual,if she/he wants the purpose to be actualized.
Once the believer knows it, it will be a failure,or defeat in the part of such person if he/she does not fulfil it before dying.
Afterall,the main reasn why death kills people prematurely is for them not to carry out God's plan for their lives.

So for that reason, we can be afraid of death based on realising that goal abi?

no,we should not be afraid of death for any reason,as a believer,Christ has given us victory over death.

So practically, we should not be afraid of death but theoretically, we should be afraid... that seems to be your conclusion...

ooman:

ok now, are you suggesting that energy has consciousness? cos am kinda confused here.

Let's start with this: what gives the human body consciousness?

ooman:
if it can be verified, if only that

Of course you know that before the 'discoveries' it was almost impossible to verify most of what we know now.

Again, I ask, before the 'discoveries will it be unreasonable to say metal can fly?

cyrexx:

So you would like to believe, or so did your holy books told you but unfortunately THAT'S NOT TRUE. All your consciousness, memory and everything you know is located in your brain, and when your brain dies and decays, so goes your memory, consciousness and everything you know about your lifetime.And there is no concrete evidence that consciousness survives brain death and decay.

This thread is about giving personal opinion about death and our opinions may not all agree. Let's not debate that on this particular thread. Let's just state our opinions and move on, shall we?

Go and read more before making these categorical statements of yours. You know nothing about life and death.

ooman:

Near Death Experience (NDE) is nothing but a pseudoscience. Its not even science, its just science looking into people's claims. Near death experience is nothing but dreams and hallucinations...

Oh shut up. Just shut up because you're bloody ignorant. Hallucinations my foot. Instead of you ignorant people to go and conduct research into things, you just come here blabbing rubbish. How much time have you spent studying NDEs?

@ledaface,this is my conclusion.

Mintayo:
no,we should not be afraid of death for any reason,as a believer,Christ has given us victory over death.

Rossikk: Go and read more before making these categorical statements of yours. You know nothing about life and death.

Good sir, which book would you recommend us to read more of, in order to know more about life and death.
