Life or Death?

Members do not see this ad.

Since we are supposedly pre-med, I think it would be useful for us to explore the notions of Life and Death.

There are only two fates that await humankind. They are destined to either be forever alive or forever dead. The theory of evolution allows all living things only one fate. If you ascribe to this theory, are you prepared to accept your destiny?

What if both options (Life or Death) were available to you every moment of your life here on this earth, but you chose Death at every turn? For you evolutionists, take a fresh look at the theory of evolution objectively, and you will find that it is so full of holes that it is like a tattered, old garment doing a poor job of covering up the Truth.

I am not writing this to argue with anyone. I am writing this so that you may find Life before it is too late. Death has more than one meaning, and the one that this world is more commonly acquainted with would be a far better end than the one that awaits those who do not choose Life.

I urge you to seek with an intensity you have never experienced before. For to all you who seek, an answer will be given. And knowing the true definitions of Life and Death may be more valuable to you than you ever imagined.

First we must understand your question......are you saying what if we could choose between having immortality or accepting our mortality?

I think what the OP is referring to is eternal life through christ. Just clarifying, not taking a position.

I recommend taking a WORLD religions course if you want to learn more about concepts of life and death.

I don't even understand this post!

must...not...feed troll...erk... 😳

Dying is okay. Not that I'm actively seeking the opportunity. But the human race will go on without me, in a different path than if I'd never been there at all, and that's enough. Humanity is entering a critical point, one where we either get our **** together as a species or we...don't...and I'd gladly trade an infinity on a puffy cloud with a harp for sixty hard-fought years kicking ass right here and now.

If I'm right, my patients' childrens' grandchildren will leave my bones behind and touch the stars. If I'm wrong, see you in Hell, and we'll still touch the stars. By the Darwinian definition, I win either way.

(must not feed troll...bad Sunflower!)

for once i understood someone's post perfectly...or at least i thought i did 😳

 

[Psycho Doctor]

Leave your mark on the world in the little things you do, not in the things that put your name in a history book, be the everyday hero who makes a difference. Live a life that is pleasing to God and then when it is time to go there ill be no regrets...and you can live on in eternity....both in heaven with God and your memories will go on to those you left behind and those whose lives you impacted.

 

[evines]

Exactly. Hell is what she is talking about. Here is my best translation, with my clarifying additions in () and italics:

"Since we are supposedly pre-med, I think it would be useful for us to explore the notions of Life and Death (various definitions).

There are only two fates that await humankind. They are destined to either be forever alive (in heaven) or forever dead (in hell). The theory of evolution allows all living things only one fate (hell). If you ascribe to this theory, are you prepared to accept your destiny (hell)?

What if both options (Life or Death) (heaven or hell) were available to you every moment of your life here on this earth, but you chose Death (hell)at every turn? For you evolutionists, take a fresh look at the theory of evolution objectively, and you will find that it is so full of holes that it is like a tattered, old garment doing a poor job of covering up the Truth (truth = evolution is false).

I am not writing this to argue with anyone. I am writing this so that you may find Life (Christ) before it is too late. Death has more than one meaning, and the one that this world is more commonly acquainted with (physical death?) would be a far better end than the one that awaits those who do not choose Life (Life = Christ).

I urge you to seek with an intensity you have never experienced before. For to all you who seek (Christ), an answer will be given. And knowing the true definitions of Life and Death (heaven and hell) may be more valuable to you than you ever imagined."

I kind of like this thread.

I am so afraid of dying, I have been living alone since I was 14 so I have a lot of time to waste. At night right before I go to sleep, I think about death, and I am so scared that I am shivering.

Sometimes though, life gets so difficult and lonely, that just sometimes, I get sick of living, but I am still afraid of dying.

I wonder how I can be a doctor.

How can you be living alone since the age of 14? obviously you are not a US citizen?

and your post is very very sad... 🙁 Maybe you should talk to someone who can help you see life differently.

Hey Psycho, I notice you make a lot of assumptions. You know what they say when you "ass"ume something.....

In this case, a teen can be legally emancipated from their parents...or they could have been living on the street, or.....something else. Get it?

Otherwise a helpful post.

Something else? 😕 My mind is reaching in all directions... and coming up with no possibilities. Actually, one possibility comes to mind, but it's a very tragic one.

But returning to the OP... no offense to her, but isn't proselytization a no-no on SDN? Not that I'm bothered by it... I just thought that was a policy.

uh ok, i realize there are possibilities, however not common. Of course i realize kids can run away from home and not be found...notice i said "this post is very sad"; also note that i used a "?" when i said you're not a US citizen, realizing it was possible.

there are US laws to ensure children are free from neglect and abuse; this includes not having adult supervision and a home.
as a start, please see:

http://nccanch.acf.hhs.gov/general/legal/federal/index.cfm

http://nccanch.acf.hhs.gov/pubs/factsheets/signs.cfm

http://www.acf.hhs.gov/programs/cb/laws/capta03/index.htm

furthermore the first child to legally seek to "divorce from his parent(s)" was this past July so no, it is not common. In fact, the article states; "This is completely unprecedented. Government agencies frequently take away parental rights but what would make this a landmark decision, if he won, is that it's a child who precipitated this."

I choose option C: reincarnating into an amoeba so I can give everyone I hate amoebic dysentery. Then I will become an atomic bomb and sit in storage.

Sorry...I think I over reacted. I just happened to know a lot of teens who were independent at age 14, and they were all bad situations.

I apologize.

 

[Ajay]

I suggest looking to hinduism, which seeks not to be at odds with Science, but rather embraces new scientific discoveries including the theory of evolution.

The best one can hope for is to be open minded. Maybe there is no life after death; maybe the lights go out and nothing else happens.

That having been said, I *still* don't understand your post!

That's ok; I know some bad situations too but the attempt was to rectify them with legal intervention since child abuse and neglect are serious legal issues with terrible social and emotional ramifications.

 

[Calamari]

maybe the OP is also trying to seek answers for herself/himself, hence the confused passage. I really urge you, OP, to search some more... into different beliefs/religions just as some people have suggested. You might want to define what life and death is first. Perhaps you might even find that in the end it's not all that different.

I'm gonna come back as a butterfly. Because nobody suspects the butterfly...

Awesome. I wish I had thought of that myself.

I think I'd wish that my worst enemy came back as Michael Jackson's nose.

Pyscho, your post was easy to misinterpret. "Obviously, you are not a US citizen?" sounds less like a question than it does an assumption.

I thought your post meant that you're unable to understand that not everyone grows up with priviledges or in ideal situations. It seems like you didn't comprehend that just because "help" is out there-may not mean that homeless people can readily access it.

😕

yea ok, i'll grant you that. last time i made some comment; i got back the response "not everyione is US citizens, you know"; that's why i made that response this time. I realize that not everyone avails themselves to the benefits granted by our legal rights. However this is one of the short-comings of our social service system. I am well aware that not everyone grows up with priviledge but i'm greatly saddened to know (and this is not a new revelation) that so many people are left behind when the services are available.
