If Heaven Is Real Why Are Christians Afraid To Die?? by Flashaldrin(m): 9:49am On Aug 19, 2012 |
I mean like, heaven has been described as a very beautiful place, with angels, mansions, gold, unimaginable riches and wealth, and even God himself. I would then imagine that every christian would like to die and go to that beautiful place, i mean they should be really impatient about going there, but the reverse is the case. I see many christians sooo afraid of death, always praying hard for long life and all that. When thay get sick you see them all jittery and panicky as if they dont believe in the kain heaven. Even muslims are better off, atleast they have suicide bombers and others but its hard to see a christian that will die for their faith. I'm a christian but i dont understand. . . 6 Likes |

First of all , Heaven is the throne of God, believers will dwell in the new heaven and new earth not Heaven. Besidies who told you Christians, real ones, are afraid to die, I am not afraid to die stop using stereotypes. 1 Like |

musKeeto: Yet again, another God obssessed atheist has to comment on an issue he does not know anything about Anyway by real , I mean those who are Born again, end of story, nothing too complex.

The fact that most christians will prefer to live here on earth than go to the imaginary heaven says they know its imaginary, imagine people praying to get well when they are sick instead of praying to die and go to heaven to enjoy the "goodies". . . .Instead of praying for each other to die and go to heaven they keep praying for longer lives here on earth. . .Delusion at its best. . . 2 Likes |

How utterly silly your assessment. Who wants to die now ? Have you heard of the phrase let it 'run it's course' , everyone has a life span on this earth , they have families, commitments, missions and agendas, death is a rude interruption to these , but should not be a worry for many a Christian. Why would a mother want to die now considering that she has children who need her nurturing and guidance , or why will a father want to die when he is the bread winner of his family, can you imagine how foolish how silly your reasoning sounds. Besides no one goes to heaven or hell when they die , they ( the dead ) are all awaiting the final day of judgement when their destinations will be determined. There is a difference between wanting to live out your span here on earth and the fear of death. 18 Likes |

thats nonsense.. who knows his/her lifespan? Anyone can die at anytime.. |
Re: If Heaven Is Real Why Are Christians Afraid To Die?? by Nobody: 11:53am On Aug 19, 2012 |
Flashaldrin: Yes ! I have kids I train at school , wife who needs my support and extended family members to assist , but most importantly perishing souls to reach with the gospel. Also , since the dead are indeed dead and nothing happens till judgement day , why would I or my Christian brethren not want to live out our life span and achieve the aforementioned. I want to live to 100 if God permits, however when the time comes sobeit , I fear not one iota. It is sinners that should be worried and fearful of death , seeing that they have no hope and will be damned without salvation in Christ Jesus. 5 Likes |

Re: If Heaven Is Real Why Are Christians Afraid To Die?? by plaetton: 1:07pm On Aug 19, 2012 |
^^^ The implications are staggering. By simple arithmetic,If we assume just for this purpose, that at any given generation(50yrs) on earth, that at least 2 billion people die, that would 2 billion x 40 generations since Jesus. 2 billion x 40 =80 billion. So, to date, there are probably 80 billion souls waiting to be judged. Wow. Now if we stretch that to beyond the death of Jesus to , lets say, Adam and Eve , then you can just imagine how many souls are just waiting to be served, sorry, I mean judged. Talk about bureaucratic nightmares. |

Re: If Heaven Is Real Why Are Christians Afraid To Die?? by Nobody: 2:34pm On Aug 19, 2012 |
That's because most "Christians" are motivated only by earthly rewards - wealth, success, good health, good spuse, etc. That's the whole basis for their belief in God and prayers to Him. The concept of Heaven is not as attractive to them as an earthly life filled with comforts and other rewards. This is mostly because, at the back of their minds - somewhere deep in their subconsciousness, they are not really sure whether Heaven exists or not. 4 Likes |

[size=14pt]Ecclesiastes 7:17[/size] King James Bible (Cambridge Ed.) Be not over much wicked, neither be thou foolish: why shouldest thou die before thy time? New International Version (©1984) Do not be overwicked, and do not be a fool--why die before your time? If you die before your time, you are a FOOL. And what does the Bible say about the fools? A fool takes no pleasure in understanding fools despise wisdom and instruction A fool's lips walk into a fight A fool gives full vent to his spirit 5 Likes |

Furthermore the reason is revelation of death has not been duly presented efficiently to my understanding. |

Omo Alata: [size=14pt]Ecclesiastes 7:17[/size]here is the best answer! Are you guys satisfied? Most real christains pray like this:'father dnt let me die be4 my time' or 'father, i pray against untimely death'. This doesnt mean they are afraid, it shows the want to fulfil the purpose of God here on earth according to his will nd time! 5 Likes |

Flashaldrin: I mean like, heaven has been described as a very beautiful place, with angels, mansions, gold, unimaginable riches and wealth, and even God himself. To start with a christian cannot make impact in his death. It's only the living who can serve God. Every christian has a purpose to fulfill, he must stay Alive to fulfill it.its only a man who has no purpose that will be eager to die. Secondly ,heaven is only a temporary abode ,just for 7years. Our permanent abode is earth. 1 Like |
