Death...?

[pianonut]

why do people find good angels believable and demons unbelievable?  is it because we only want good in our lives, or that we cannot understand the power of demons?  much the same as guardian angels (which many claim to have - due to unexplainable help at times of need) there are also powerful demons. yes, satan (used to be called lucifer - "bringer of light") to me is REAL.

if he isn't, why are so many people interested in the occult.  who can revive 'feelings' 2 days after death (experiencing someone else's life) in 1645.  hypnotists are using a real power.  probably some magicians do too.  i don't want to be involved in the other power, because although it may be extremely useful at times (to know certain things) as people claim to find missing people this way, to learn about past and future, ...i'd prefer to get my information from God.  He knew what happenned from the very beginning of time, and knows how our earth will end, too.  He says there will be a new heaven and earth that death will not touch.  i believe this, and it is my hope.

ps.  music can be a highly 'electrified' medium for spirits, i believe (either demons or angels).  you have make the choice for yourself and not be swayed by various ideas that make you believe that your soul (conciousness) isn't worth much and trading it is a good idea. decide that this life is not for personal triumph as much as learning humility.  i have decided that even if i never become a concert pianist (and i'm not saying talented people are demon possessed - far from it - just that some find music to pull them into a sort of 'black hole' at times and you have to not trust yourself to find your way, but trust God) i will still be satisfied with my life.

ahh..
There's got to be something after life..It's proved that Jesus lived, and i think that fact is good enough to know that there is life after death.

I am a Christian and I believe that Jesus Christ is the only way to Heaven.  If you have accepted him as your personal Lord and Savior, you have the blessing of spending an eternity with God in Heaven.  I do not believe the "whatever works for you" theory that is often practiced in today's culture.  God is loving but he is also righteous; those who do not accept Christ as their Savior will spend and eternity in hell.  It is the mission of those who believe in Christ to spread His Word and bring glory to His Name!

this is about as sensical as saying god doesnt exist

you are only repeating what you have been taught

many pianist repeat what they have been taught

and it seems to work

however what lies after death is completely unknown

to make such an extreme assumption is bizarre

and it's what usually turns others away from the christian faith

it's not hard to say "I dont know" but many seem relucatant to so

As much as I would like to believe it to be true, I do not believe there is anything following our death.

A very wise lady once told me that we are all born with an expiration date, we just don't know what it is.

The only problem with this theory is it brings up the question of FATE...which is another question with no answer (until you can witness it yourself).  So, if you believe in life after death, do you also believe in fate.  Is your entire existence in this and your past and future lives predetermined???  Kind of takes the fun out of it, huh???

as Professor Dumbledore said, death is only the next great adventure.

There is something.
It's just like when you`re not born, you live with blood and water all around you. Then, when you are born, perhaps the blood thinks "o my god ! he/she `s dead " But no ! You`re not dead !you have another life !
It`s just the same when you die ! You don`t die ! You have another life !

To those that don't believe that there is life after your physical death I ask them this.

It took say, 1 trillion years to pass before you came into existance now was that a long time for you? No, you didn't experience that time so it was as fast as a microsecond. Now when you die, your existance here is extinct, but for how long really? How long will it take for you to be reborn after all these trillions of years of randomness pass again? I assure you even if it is a trillion trillion years before you are created again you will not think so much time has passed.

Because the length of time requires conscious observation, when we die this conscious observation may be extinct for trillions of years until it the spiritual existance becomes a prominent OBSERVATION of the univerise. Notice how fast time passes when we sleep, we are not consciously there to observe time, when we die time fast forwards at an unimaginable rate.

The time it will take is more accurately measured through Christianity though, and the fear of death utterly squashed.
