Are we born to die

Answer 1

This is a deep question that many ask and they all deserve a good answer. Ask yourself, If Adam and Eve had not eaten the forbidden fruit, where would they be today? They would still be alive. They never would have come to know death. This tells us what God's original intention was for mankind. To live for all eternity on a paradise earth in a state of perfection. How is this possible?

Answer 3

We all think differently about this, but I think it's because all energy is stored and used in some way. When we die, we are returning as food (energy) for fungi to feed on, thus repeating the cycle. There has to be a balance.

Answer 4

Because we are all born with a fallen, sinful nature that we inherited from Adam and Eve. Satan successfully tempted Eve to eat of the Fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil through doubt, confusion, deception, and appealing to Eve's sense of pride. Eve made a conscious choice to listen to Satan, to believe Satan's lies, and to deliberately disobey God and eat the fruit. Eve then led her husband to join her in her sin. Adam also made a conscious choice to follow his wife into sin rather than obey God. When they disobeyed God and ate the fruit, their sin gave them a sinful nature that was passed on to their children and every generation until now. One of the ways God punished them was by expelling them from the Garden of Eden. We are told the reason for this expulsion in Genesis 3:22--so they couldn't partake of the Tree of Life and live forever. In other words, God made them mortal as part of their punishment for their disobedience. Each and every one of us will face a physical death due to the sinful nature each of us is born with, but we don't have to face a spiritual death (see Romans 6:23) because of it. God, in His infinite grace and mercy, and with a love we will never fully understand, made a provision for our salvation (see Genesis 3:15) and sent His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ to die on the cross. See, our sin (born of the sinful nature) creates a vast chasm between us and God and puts us at enmity with God. Jesus Christ is the only One who can bridge that chasm and take us from enmity with God to friendship and adopted family (and co-heirs with Himself) with God. Why and how does He do that? Through His crucifixion and resurrection! Yes, a ransom was paid: He paid the sin debt that we owe to God. Yes, something was satisfied: the wrath of God and God's Divine Justice were satisfied on that cross. Yes, Christ was victorious over sin and Satan, and death through His crucifixion and resurrection. How though? By willingly going to the cross and enduring the full cup of the wrath of God in our place (the Innocent judged guilty, that the guilty may go free) so we--through faith--wouldn't have to. He willingly suffered what we deserve to suffer that we may be freely given what we don't deserve.

Think of it this way:

Out of His unfathomable love for us, God so graciously and mercifully stepped down from Glory, took on human flesh, and willingly went to the cross and took our punishment upon Himself because there is no way possible for us to atone for our sins ourselves. In the ancient Levitical sacrificial system, the lamb for the atonement sacrifice had to be without spot or blemish; Christ Himself was and is without spot or blemish--which is why only He could be our Once for All, All-Sufficient sacrificial Lamb. We, however are not, and therefore cannot atone for ourselves or anyone else.

Answer 5

Please note: None of these answers are written by Kunth. He wrote one. Someone edited it beyond recognition. Kunth then removed his answer (the 2nd ANSWER) altogether.

1st ANSWER

Many religions believe that we do, indeed, live forever. That is to say, our body dies, but a part of us, known as our soul, continues living. According to some religions, our soul would continue living in a different world.

2nd ANSWER

(This answer was written by Kunth. However, it was 'edited' by someone else and left unintelligible. The paragraph structure had also been removed. So I, Kunth, have removed it.)

3rd ANSWER

(by Caroljf; copied from the Jehovah Witness website -- JW.Org):

WHY HUMANS DIE 9 Why, then, do humans die? To find the answer, we must consider what happened when there was only one man and one woman on earth. The Bible explains: "Jehovah God made to grow out of the ground every tree desirable to one's sight and good for food." (Genesis 2:9) However, there was one restriction. Jehovah told Adam: "From every tree 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 2:16, 17) This command was not difficult to obey. There were many other trees from which Adam and Eve could eat. But they now received a special opportunity to show their gratitude to the One who had given them everything, including perfect life. Their obedience would also show that they respected the authority of their heavenly Father and that they wanted his loving direction. 10 Sadly, the first human couple chose to disobey Jehovah. Speaking through a serpent, Satan asked Eve: "Is it really so that God said you must not eat from every tree of the garden?" Eve replied: "Of the fruit of the trees of the garden we may eat. But as for eating of the fruit of the tree that is in the middle of the garden, God has said, 'You must not eat from it, no, you must not touch it that you do not die.'"-Genesis 3:1-3. 11 "You positively will not die," said Satan. "God knows that in the very day of your eating from it your eyes are bound to be opened and you are bound to be like God, knowing good and bad." (Genesis 3:4, 5) Satan wanted Eve to believe that she would benefit by eating the forbidden fruit. According to him, she could decide for herself what was right and what was wrong; she could do what she wanted. Satan also charged that Jehovah had lied about the consequences of eating the fruit. Eve believed Satan. So she picked some of the fruit and ate it. She then gave some to her husband, and he too ate some of it. They did not act in ignorance. They knew that they were doing exactly what God had told them not to do. By eating the fruit, they deliberately disobeyed a simple and reasonable command. They showed contempt for their heavenly Father and his authority. Such disrespect for their loving Creator was inexcusable! 12 To illustrate: How would you feel if you raised and cared for a son or a daughter who then disobeyed you in a way that showed that he or she had no respect or love for you? That would cause you much heartache. Imagine, then, how hurt Jehovah must have felt when both Adam and Eve took a course of opposition to him. Adam came from the dust, and he returned to the dust 13 Jehovah had no reason to sustain disobedient Adam and Eve forever. They died, just as he had said they would. Adam and Eve ceased to exist. They did not pass on to the spirit realm. We know this because of what Jehovah said to Adam after confronting him with his disobedience. God said: "You [will] return to the ground, for out of it you were taken. For dust you are and to dust you will return." (Genesis 3:19) God had made Adam from the dust of the ground. (Genesis 2:7) Before that, Adam did not exist. Therefore, when Jehovah said that Adam would return to the dust, He meant that Adam would return to a state of nonexistence. Adam would be as lifeless as the dust from which he was made. 14 Adam and Eve could have been alive today, but they died because they chose to disobey God and thus sinned. The reason we die is that Adam's sinful condition as well as death was passed on to all of his descendants. (Romans 5:12) That sin is like a terrible inherited disease from which no one can escape. Its consequence, death, is a curse. Death is an enemy, not a friend. (1 Corinthians 15:26) How grateful we can be that Jehovah provided the ransom to rescue us from this dreadful enemy!

Answer 6

Not necessarily, yes, eventually we are all meant to die, but I believe we are all born to make something of ourselves. I believe everything happens for a reason, so if you were born it doesn't mean you were born to die. In a lame way of putting it, everyone is born to do either great, and or terrible things.

Answer 7

There are biological reasons to this beautiful question! If you do not die and live for ever, there will be too many of you on this earth. So you will face the scarcity of Natural Resources to survive. You will not have enough space to live on the earth. Already you are facing the problems of the same. Secondly, the nature in not interested in you. Nature is interested in next and better generation. The hunger of nature in producing the better progeny looks to be never ending. So nature produces better predators, who can kill. At the same times it produces better victims, who can save themselves from the predators. This is true for every species.

Answer 8

Death is intended to keep us humble, to keep us mindful of God, and mindful of the need to avoid sin. Ancient individuals who claimed immortality were invariably the most egregious of braggarts.

If we lived forever, certain mistakes would become indelible, and some sinners would just get worse and worse.

Answer 9

God, the creator, has designed it such that we live and we die. There is a purpose, because every time we are born as a human being, we are supposed to be liberated from death and realize the Truth about ourselves and God. Therefore, this world has been designed for us to act and then to live as per our Karma or the Law of Action and Reaction. So, for this, the body must die, such is the design. And then we come back in a new birth, in a new life. Further, if one had to just live forever, then this whole universe would have no meaning. This universe has a meaning; it is for us to realize God.

Answer 10

Because the world would get heavily populated
