This life in which you are currently living is like an exam for you in which God tests you to fulfill His commandments such as do good with others. In the result if you pass this test you will be granted Heaven! Beautiful as you could ever imagine as if you combine all the tourism places of the world, there would be no match with Heaven! If you fail this test, then you will be thrown into Hell where you will burn so hard that you will wish to die again as if the fire burn your skin once, the skins will be changed again and again! The results of these examination will be final so do good and make your future brighter! I hope it helped you!
The bible does not say any such thing. Somebody made that up. It is not reliable to let people tell you what the bible says. Many people will make up stuff because they don't know what it says, and many will make up stuff because they wish it would not say what it says. You just have to read it for yourself. Read a chapter of Proverbs every day. Proverbs has 31 chapters so you can keep your place by just looking at a calendar. There is no religion or nothing in Proverbs and you don't have to believe anything. Just read to find wisdom. When you are comfortable with that, then read the bible from Romans to 2 Thessalonians over and over until you start to remember what it says. That is the part that applies to Christians.
You are absolutely right God gives us life, but he does not take our lives. To find the answer why we die, we will have to go back to the beginning of mankind.
After God created everything on the earth for mankind to live forever,Genesis 2:7 help us to see that God created the first man(Adam).
Genesis 2:16,17 God gave this command to the man:"From every three of the garden you may eat to satisfaction. But as for the tree of the knowledge of good and bad,you must not eat from it,for in the day you eat from it you will positively die."
Genesis 2:21 Jehovah God built the rib that he had taken from the man into a woman (Eve),and he brought her to the man.
Genesis 3:1-5 the serpent(devil) tempted the woman to eat the fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and bad that God had forbidden them to eat. God did warn them if they eat from that tree they will positively die.
Genesis 3:6 consequently,the woman saw that the tree was good for food and that it was something desirable to the eyes.............So she began taking of its fruit and eating it. Afterward,she also gave some to her husband when he was with her,and he began eating it.
Genesis 3:7 because of their disobedience sin entered and their eyes were opened to imperfection.You may ask what that have to do with us?
Romans 5:12 answers that question. It says,"That is why, just as through one man sin entered into the world and death through sin,and so death spread to all men because they had all sinned.
So all this information confirm that God does not take life from us . He is not the one responsible for death,but our foe parents did.Their disobedience cause sin to enter into them which led to death and so death spread to all mankind.
The beauty about serving the one and only true God Jehovah is that he promises to reverse death with everlasting life. Revelation 21:4 Jehovah promises,"And he (God) will wipe out every tear from their eyes,and death will be no more,neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore.The former things have passed away." We all are looking forward to the time when pain,tears and death are no more. Will you like to know more about Jehovah's promise of everlasting life?
That is a powerful question. In seeking to find answers sometimes we end of pointing fingers and blaming someone who is not at fault. Would a loving God creator design such a beautiful place to live, with such a vast variety of foods, animals and plant life? Would he create the human body in such a manner that is designed to heal itself? Even doctors cannot understand or explain why our cells stop reproducing. It seems as though we should continuing living forever, says a doctor. Also we all have in us a desire to keep on living. Not one of us can pick a date when we want to die. So in just briefly, reasoning on it from that standpoint, it would seem that God does not want us to die. But we do! God through his word the bible tells us the reason why we die and who introduced people to death.
Romans 5:12 says: " That is why, just as through one man sin entered into the world and death through sin. and so death spread to all men because they had all sinned"
So the cause of death is our original parents. Adam and Eve. Since they produced children before they died all of their offspring inherited sin which leads to death.
Romans 6:23 " For the wages sin pays is death, but the gift God gives is everlasting life by Christ Jesus or Lord."
So because we are sinful, we die, that is the price for sin. But since what we inherited is not our fault, God stepped in and provided a way out. That is known as the ransom sacrifice of Jesus. Jesus' shed blood we offered in behalf of mankind to buy back what Adam and Eve lost...everlasting life. That is why Jesus said those exercising faith in this ransom and coming to know the only true God and Jesus will gain everlasting life.
So he did not cause or create death. God in fact stepped in and provided a way out of this curse. If you would like to discuss it further I would be happy to do so with you. Or you could go to jw.org for more information.. Hope this helps answer your question.
The real answer why God created life and death is only known to God. We are manifestations of God, we are tiny God particles that appear as a human being on earth. Yes, we are like actors who come on the earth stage and this is a show, we come and we go. Why do we come? Why do we go? This is God's choice. But through inference what we can realize is that everything is controlled by the law of Karma. We come back to earth in a life not by luck or chance, it depends on our karma, not our fate. Therefore, we must understand that everything that's happening in this world is God's decision, God's choice and we have no business to question why God did what He did.
The entire bible is for us all to learn and be guided from, not just romans to Thessalonians. Romans 15:4 says "For all things that were written beforehand were written for our instruction, so that through our endurance and through the comfort from the scriptures we might have hope" The Hebrew and Greek scriptures are all connected. The bible carries a theme, just like any other book. You cannot dismiss certain parts of the bible and think they are not relevant to you when they are. The theme of the bible is this " The vindication of Jehovah's sovereignty and sanctification of his name by means of his kingdom which his son Jesus Christ is the ruler!
You are correct that we all must carefully examine the scriptures to make sure what we believe and what we are being taught is correct. For it means our very lives. But we cannot do it alone. The scripture in Acts 8:30,31 Matthew 28:19,20 lets us know that we have to be taught the scriptures, and that going at it alone is not how our creator intended us to go about it. The bible answers questions such as why we are here, why do we die, what happens to us when we die, why does god allow suffering, and when will suffering end? Along with a host of other really important life questions that most people want to know the answers too. Our loving creator has provided the bible to answer those questions for us and to provide us with practical advice so that we can live happy and successful lives now and in the future.
Its really important to understand the purpose of the bible. Check out Jw.org for questions you may have about the bible or to have your very own personal bible study free of charge.
