The beauty in death

[tbh2023]

"Hell" in the Scriptures, if you study the original languages, is just death in the grave. We return to dust (Genesis 3:19). Scriptures don't teach that redeemed humans "go to heaven", but rather that we rise again physically to live forever on a new restored EARTH at the end of the world after judgment (2 Peter 3:13). The lost will rise again also, but only to be executed in a "second death", after which they are dead carcases forever with no promise to ever live again (Revelation 20:14, Isaiah 66:24).

Oh wow, I'm lost… I need to read about that. Thanks for sharing

Ok gotcha. Interesting concept.

I sent you a link to the book I got thisfrom via chat.

I'm not a believer my friend, I used to but not anymore. I lost faith due to personal struggle, and I'm killing my self regardless. I hate God if he exist why the torture? Why we have to be born to begin with? But I've seen dead people. It's not beautiful. We end up insects home. I just don't believe that our souls die too. I think there is some type of another life after death.

I definitely believe when we die our bodies are done. No resurrection or anything like that. But somehow our consciousness may be part of something bigger we are unable to comprehend with our limited 5 senses.

Thank you I will take a look.

It depends on how you are buried. If in an air tight coffin & embalmed body, decay is slower and no insects will get in. I want a green burial in a shroud or card board coffin where the insects can get in and feed off my remains. That way I am giving back to nature. The birds will eat the insects, other animals will eat the birds and so on. Try to look at it as the cycle of life and not as a scary experience.

I'm not thinking that far. I really don't care about feeding animals at this point. We don't think a like

yeah, i agree just finally peace away from people and society. Where no one can tell you what to do or what to say because your dead. I can't wait until i do ctb, just have to find the right method.

Old school Pentacostal here,
I worry the afterlife, doesn't make sense I know,
But I worry about it none the less..?...
Hope I will be forgiven.

Been thinking about this a lot lately. There is a very fringe philosophy that basically says that all things, living and non basically are striving towards The Will to Death. What this means is that all things in the universe are striving towards annihilation, not through a conscious choice, but rather an unseen force that compels everything toward total entropy. That is, completely exhausted of all energy. Other words, Death. Looking around the way the world is and the destructive chaos of the universe, one cannot help but see the same. It goes a lot deeper than this, but that is the basic premise. And yes, Death is beautiful because it means peace and the end of suffering, therefore it's what all things strive towards to achieve perfect balance and harmony. After all, nothing exists, neither does suffering or needs and wants. Chaos and destruction therefore cannot occur and everything is at complete peace. This is true Heaven. Bliss in non existence.

The opposit is the case, there is an intrinsic force to selforganisation and complexity far away from the thermodynamic equilibrium!
Birth and death are part of this process.

We cannot speak about being dead, because it is not part of life. But the process of dying should and can be beautiful.

Thank you for this. I honestly get the impression that many people on here seem to think that death is a bad thing when this is something that I personally could never agree with since I don't see anything bad with permanent non existence. If I'm dead, I'll be at bliss (metaphorically of course since there actually wouldn't be a me). I'll be free from the suffering that could have happened to me in the future and I wouldn't worry about anything at all. I think that non existence is truly perfection

That is the way I feel as well, all I hope for is to peacefully not exist and never suffer ever again, I'd be so relieved to finally be free from the torturous, futile burden of human existence, for me non-existence is all that feels positive, it's peace to me, I'd never wish to exist, I'd never wish to be conscious of anything at all and I find existence to be deeply undesirable in every way possible. I just wish for this existence to no longer be my problem, what comforts me about death is that if I'm gone then I cannot suffer in any way and all is finally forgotten which is what I see as ideal.
