Why do we as humans not understand death?

Question

how do we not know EVERYTHING about it??? why is it such a confusing concept? Will we ever figure it out?

Answer 1

You may think my answer is about religion, but it's about relationship with God, who is Life. From the beginning, He told man that if he disobeyed by eating from the tree of life, He would die. When Adam (& Eve) sinned in this manner, everything became old and died. A breach occurred in the relationship between man and His Creator. Death became unpreventable in most cases. It is written, "...it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment" So there is a time to be born, and a time to die.

After death, one's "personal energy" or soul, will go to one of two places, based upon how the individual lived: heaven or h**l. God owns the earth, heavens, h**l, our bodies, souls, and everything else. He's eternal and so is the soul which He created. Therefore, we must meet His conditions if we expect to go to heaven. That condition is to

confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved (from wrong living and going to h**l). This relationship also requires repentance (turning away) from sin (wrongdoing, speaking, etc.).

This is the first step. For if one doesn't stay faithful in obedience to Jesus until the end, he/she can still end up in h**l. God doesn't put people there. He wants a relationship with sincere people who will put Him first while they're living.

Answer 2

Because people only know whats in their face.  It's hard to except the fact that if someone dies, it was meant to happen(religiously speaking)  If you believe in any sort of God, you know, that man's choices in life set a path.  There is always an end to a path.  

I highly doubt anyone will ever truely grasp death, as we don't know for certain what happen when you die.  Moreover, if someone dies who is close to you, and you are religious, just take it as it was suppose to happen, and your god needs them more than you do.  Hope this helps.

Answer 3

Well mostly because everyone who ever died couldn't live to talk about it Ha!...Heh Just joking, anyway that is a very good question. It probably lives on traveling the world.........Or maybe thats how ghost appear all of our personal energy takes on our form and wonders the last place we were at......What a quandary...  

Answer 4

I don't know about you humans but this human understands death completely. I understand the anatomical issues, the environmental issues, and the spiritual issues. I know every thing there is to know about death and as result I know nothing of death. I do look forward to when my time comes.

Answer 5

its not confusing at all.. your heart stops and that's it your turn in life is done!

Answer 6

To truly know about it, you probably need to experience it first. And to experience it you need to die...don't ya think so?  

Answer 7

what do you mean? I do think our scientists will eventually cure aging through artificial hormones.

Answer 8

It's not so confusing: end of life, when all the vital fuctions stop.

Answer 9

I will start by saying I am a Christian.

so this is what i believe about death.

if you do accept Jesus as your savior, you never die. you leave your humanly body and live forever in Heaven.

if you do not accept Jesus, then you die and you never stop, you continue to die, for eternity.(in h**l)

Answer 10

I understand it perfectly.  You are born then you will die eventually.  You and everyone else dies.  Do you not understand that.

Energy and matter do become some what destoyed look at Thermonuclear Dynamics and its laws.

Answer 11

Well, it is a once in a life-time event.  Hard to know how to understand what no one is able to explain to you because no living person has experienced it.  

Answer 12

well I guess until the next human comes back from the dead and stops to do a scientific study of what it was they went through from point A to point B I think the question lacks any merit.

Answer 13

My mom just passed away and I wish I knew the answer. I would like to think she is at peace and has no more pain. Her lungs were getting worn out and the brain wasn't getting enough oxygen. I am glad I believe in an after life. It is helping me.

Answer 14

Ah!  You've bought into that pap about "personal NRG!"

Your body cools after your death.  THIS cooling is the release of the NRG for which you appear to be looking.  Humans aren't ADIABATIC!  *laughter*

Answer 15

Death will only be understood when one experiences it.

Answer 16

We do.  We are the only animals that can comprehend their own demise.  It's a part of self cognition.
