I think about my mortal death all the time(Yeah, when your not getting what you want) Not in a morbid way(BS) or chilling scary way(Are you sure about that? Liar!) I do wish to die before it becomes too dangerous to open your door and go outside(What is wrong with you, get your brain together) But death, that word is so universally accepted as a full stop(I think you need to punch yourself in the head for saying such drivel)

Death is a lie. The greatest lie the devil ever told. All oppressive and false tyrannical systems are predicated on fearmongering to get people to conform. Just look at the pandemic these past 3 years. They used fearmongering to cajole people to take a medical treatment that they labelled as a vaccine. The true data shows that there was never anything like the risk and threat they told people. Just fearmongering.

That which is truly you has always been here and will always be here. You are billions of years old.

Don't fear "death". There is no such thing. Thus don't believe the rulers lying to you and wanting you to conform to their religious systems. They are lying in order to enslave you. It's a prison for your mind. Lies and threats and scaremongering underpin it all.

Resurrection. Judgement. Second death.

If you truly want to get serious.

Surely, what would seem universal is the broad way most believe. And that is why the truth from God speaks of the narrow way. Which is that narrow ribbon of truth that has been established as true since the beginning of time down through every generation. Likewise, the voice to be heard is not one of yelling from without, but a still small voice from within. It comes like a knock at the door, and if you answer and open the door--it is not death, but life. Thus, it is even hidden from those who choose not to hear it when it comes.

There is no need to fear.

I thought God only spoke to the Prophets? Anyway I'll keep asking the universe to end my life each day (As I've said before) This reality is crap, purely garbage, I could design a better reality in my sleep.

Death is a lie.
This is supposed to be a serious thread.

Yesterday, I buried my beloved mother-in-law, the greatest woman of God one could meet. She was prepared to be with her husband of 68 years who died 4 years ago. She lived fully, serving God, telling people about the saving Grace of Christ, right up to the end.

You'll be in hell with me if what you claim is true.

Hell. Hades / Sheol; the grave; the abode of the dead. We’ll both be there, unconsciously asleep in the dust of the earth, when we die.

Resurrection. Bodily raised from the dust of the earth and consciously restored to life. Me: at the return of Jesus, to the life of the age to come; endless life. You: one thousand years later; temporarily, to appear before the judge.

Judgement. You’re on your own. Jesus has been appointed by the one true God, his God / his Father, to review your life and decide your fate.

Hell. Gehenna; the lake of fire; the place of destruction. Permanent end of life / existence; the second death, from which there is no recovery. No one who belongs to Jesus will be there.

So. How serious are you?

This is not "reality", but just as it is written, this is a mere "image" of what is true--man was "created in the image", and a "dim" one at that, showing the reality of evil, that we who do not prefer it would chose the truth instead.

And, no, God does not only speak to the Prophets. That was only for a time. Since the days immediately following the ascension of Jesus back to God, He then set in motion the prophecy of Joel, that God would pour out His spirit upon all flesh. That is, "all" meaning both on the good and the evil, which would eventually bring about the end of this image illusion which Jesus had already overcome for those who want is true and good. It is that outpouring of God's spirit that comes like a knock at the door, like a lightbulb coming on leaving one to hate evil and love good--that is the touch of God. Learn of his ribbon of truth that has been since the world began, follow it, be a part of it--be that good, it is a gift from God and the promise of a better future. Be patient, as He has also been patient with us. Help is on the way--believe it even if you die believing it--believe it, because it is believing it that is our ticket out of the illusion.

Ever looked up the origin of the EL? There's a reason why Elohim represents the masculine and feminine side being God of the Jews.

You buried a body, not a soul/spirit

You can not die. That which is truly you is immortal. It's been here since the beginning of the universe. You don't need to bow down to anyone, make any blood sacrifice, jump through hoops for this immortality. You already have it. The devil (which is lots of malicious humans running psychological control systems) lies to you. Tells you that you will die but that they have the cure. They are lying.

Truly, given a choice of living eternally with a being that is happy to send people to a lake of fire I think I would pass. What you suggest is like giving in to Hitler, choosing a life under Hitler's rule because you're afraid of being free. Hitler sent thousands into gas chambers. Is it better to die or to live in Hitler's regime? When/Where do your morals kick in?

Talk about belief's lacking evidence.

Let's explore

When a sperm and a woman's egg come together do you believe those 2 items contain everything needed to create an animated living human being? Or do you believe that there is a 3rd element, a "spark" of life energy that appears from somewhere which is the true source of human life?

If you believe the latter, and given you believe that the 3rd element comes from a perfect God, on what basis do you think that 3rd element is perishable, imperfect, not lasting?

I wanted to discuss the topic of dying, but you know how I am.
