Why do people die?

[Elderman]

To answer such questions, it will be a help for us to know

Who has the answers. Is it the atheist s? Is it evolution? Or does Science have the answer ? well all claim to have answers, at least insofar as death due to aging is concerned. But the Bible does have all the answers.
But there are more lies told about the dead than the living, that no one seem to agree on the subject.

Ludwig, the answerers who pose questions within their responses never GET an answer, just more of the same...THAT'S what makes it pointless. The only 'point' I can conceivably see in their continuing is along the lines of the person who said, "I like beating my head against a brick wall, because it's so nice when I stop!"

Anyway, that's all from me. It seems I may have got a couple of converts, which is two more than the OP has!

Elderman .. admit it, you don't really want an answer do you? because if you did there would be some indications in your postings that you had read or understood at least some of the replies.
I think this is the reply you are looking for ..'People die so that they can go to heaven and glorify god' ..will that do ?
P.S. I take no responsibility for the implications of such a facile statement but it might shut Elderman up.

jomifl, you will never shut him up lol, he doesn't know when he is beaten :)

Jom, //'People die so that they can go to heaven and glorify god'//

oooo ... wotchit Jom, you'll start him off again. I'm not sure he aims to end up in heaven. I think his idea might be to die, then to be resurrected so that he can inherit the earth - along with the rest of the meek. ;o)

(Matt 5.5)

Elderman is right. He has proved conclusively that "There's no fool like an old fool"

[Elderman]

Strange, that there should be so many conflicting opinions when all of Christendom’s religions claim to get support for their doctrines from one harmonious book, the Holy Bible? Surely the Bible is not so vague or confusing on these issues as are the theories and philosophies of men, nor is it divided into as many conflicting opinions regarding the place and state of the dead.
Have you ever wondered where the dead are? Whether they are in heaven or in hell or confined to some other place like limbo or purgatory? Or just what is the state of the dead? Have you ever wondered why men die? What happens at death? Is it just the body that dies and not the soul, or do both die? What is a soul? Most thinking person ask themselves these questions. But on these points there are about as many theories as there are people on earth.

And you and your associates are the only ones who know all the answers. Strange indeed.

Quite. In fact every time he posts, another few people reject religion. I reckon he's a double agent for the devil.

[Elderman]

No,when the three Hebrews were thrown into the burning fiery furnace, their lives were saved only by a miracle. God sent an angel to protect His faithful servants. But they had already chosen to risk death rather than disobey God. Their position was similar to that of Jesus Christ’s apostles, who over six centuries later declared before the Jewish high court: “We must obey God as ruler rather than men.”—Acts 5:29

[naomi24]

Elderman, why don't you go and make yourself a nice cup of tea. You might feel better then.

[jomifl]

Elderman.. do you have an estimate of when you will have posted the entire bible on answerbank?

[andy-hughes]

How are you typing with one eye and one hand Elderman - I am sure the others must have offended you, so you will have plucked out one and cut off the other, as your God says you should.

You have, haven't you?

Lazarus of Bethany had to endure it twice.

[naomi24]

^^What? A spate of Elderman's posts? Poor old Lazarus. A fate worse than death! ;o)

[sandyRoe]

He was roused from the peaceful slumber that lasts for eternity and forced to endure another slice of life as one of 'the undead'.
Who said God doesn't play jokes?

[askyourgran]

Methuselah didn't do badly, bet he was getting a bit fed up of hanging around.

[sandyRoe]

I wonder how long this government would have made him work before he got his pension?

[askyourgran]

lol sandy, I think I saw him on the picket line yesterday. If he paid his full national insurance stamps and avoided the userers in the temple, he'd have been Ok for the next 500 years.

This world we live in is a world without answers.
Human history have proved that. Nor has this present dazzling world of science come up with answers to the pressing questions hanging over the head of this generation. Consider one.
Do you feel horror that, not long ago, people who had babies they didn’t want merely put them outside to die of exposure. Today they are killed while still in the mother’s womb. Those who do this claim the infants are not really human lives, or souls, and feel no pain. But the babe in the womb jumps when startled by a sudden noise, it sucks its thumb, it drinks fluid, it hears its mother’s heartbeat—yet some say it is not living? Incredible! Its brain is functioning, its heart is beating, its senses are recording sensations—yet it feels no pain? Again, incredible! Painless abortion—is it just a claim made to ease guilt?

An aborted fetus goes straight to Heaven. We, who were born, face a lifetime of temptations, each and every one of which could easily trip us up and send us falling into the fiery pit.
