CHAPTER 2
THEORY OF LIFE AFTER DEATH
“Then the Lord God formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils and the breath of life, and the man became a living being.” - Genesis 2:7. Life is where we found our purpose, fulfillment and satisfaction in life. Life is seen in different perspective because people experience it in different ways. Life is the reason why we are here on earth breathing and kicking. Life is where we find the meaning of our existence choosing to have relationship with God our Father. Life is where he challenge us to fulfill his earthly mission. According to all about world view, the guide to understand the deeper understanding of life is through Holy Bible. It clearly gives tangible examples and practical rules for living in accordance with God’s plan for your life. If there is life, there is death. There is still end for everything “No man ever

It is the avoidance of death. God is all powerful, all knowing, all good, and present in everywhere. Then, why God did not allow us to be immortal? Why do we die? Why can’t we just live forever? There are reasons why God did not allow us to be immortal. He did that for us to know that He is definitely above every little thing. We are made in His likeness, but we will never be like Him. Another thing is, He is perfect, and He could not make other things perfect, too. God, himself, is the only perfect for us to understand that He has more authority. He is always above us. He allowed mortality and death for us to learn that we could not live without Him. He also made us mortal so that we can be destroyed if we do not obey Him and His words. As stated in Romans 6:23, “For the wages of sin is death. But the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” We will only have the ability to be immortal if we follow and love Him and our neighbors. It helps us follow a path and guidance to love and take care each
In “Defining Life”, Josh Gabbatiss expresses the difficulty of distinguishing between the living and the inanimate, and examines various attempts at this age-old yet still developing struggle through the perspectives of virology, chemistry, astro-biology, technology, and philosophy. “Defining Life” is contextualized by an extensive history of deliberation by both modern and historical figures such as Aristotle and Carl Sagan, and institutions such as NASA and the Christian Church. The relevance of this article is also shown through current advancements in physical and life sciences, engineering, and philosophical
Life is not something that can be defined by any single person. Everyone sees life as having a different purpose.
What is life? Life is defined as the condition that distinguishes animals and plants from inorganic matter, including the capacity for growth, reproduction, functional activity, and continual change preceding death. (Google) It is also defined as the existence of an individual human being or animal. (Google) The most profound and pivotal to me would be that life is defined as the period between the birth and death of a living thing, especially a human being. (Google) Yes, life is defined as stated above; but the essence of life is what you make of it, what you choose to attain and learn from it, and ultimately whether your actions matched your intent.
Chapter one in the book Constructing a life Philosophy shows a variety of opinions on life philosophies. From what I understood from reading all four of the views was that they believe it wise for people to be flexible in the way we live our lives. I would like to discuss further what each of them had to say.
The weather is an extremely powerful force that can change lives and the way tasks work. Anyone from the book Life As We Knew It by Susan Beth Pfeffer would agree with that statement, especially Miranda. Miranda and her family's lives were completely changed when the moon was knocked out of orbit. The weather forced people to learn new stuff and Miranda was no exception. She needed to concentrate on a “second education”.
In His love for mankind God tells us how to live successfully on this earth. In the Bible which can be correctly referred to as the handbook of life, He reveals to us the facts, the truth and the mysteries about life and living both spiritual and natural. You must understand that there are facts, there are truth and there are mysteries, these are different things but they are connected. For example, there are amazing wonders of science that are revealed to us in the scriptures.
What is life about? Just living, or maybe giving or something else. At this point the question goes differently just as all of us are different. All of us see life differently and as well the goals are different. Though there is something in common we all have. We all want to be happy in this world. Some people believe that love gives happiness, another wealth...All with different concept. They spend most of their time and energy to get it. But it does not give a guaranty of satisfaction. Meanwhile it could give you basic comforts of life.
In this study, we investigated the relationship between life regard, perceived social support, HIV symptom load, forgiveness and optimism. We hypothesized that life regard, perceived social support and forgiveness would positively correlate with optimism, people who reported HIV symptoms would be less optimistic than people without HIV related symptoms and that our independent variables accounted for a significant proportion of variance in optimism.
Throughout history the concept of an afterlife has been at the forefront of intellectual and religious discussion. Many questions have been raised in regards to the afterlife. Is there a possibility of life after death? How does one achieve this goal? The possibility of immortality is an idea that has always captivated me. I personally am not religious and do not believe in an afterlife but I hope to gain some insight from various religious teachings. How different religions view the concept of life after death is extremely interesting and is something that is worth exploring. These fascinating questions are going to be answered throughout this paper from the perspective of three major religions: Christianity, Islam, and Buddhism. Whether it is getting into Heaven in Christianity, achieving the paradise of Jannah in Islam, or Nirvana in Buddhism, these concepts of the afterlife will explained, compared, and contrasted.
What is the meaning of life? Well known Greek philosphers such as Socrates and Plato believed that our purpose in this life was to gain knowledge in preparation for the next life. Other Philosophers such as Epicurus believed that pleasure is the main goal in life. After giving these ideas lots of thought, I have come to my own conclusion that the true meaning of life is far more complex than either of these; far too complex for any human to fully comprehend. In fact these two different philosophies are only part of the grand picture. If it were that easy for men to figure out our lives wouldn't be so messed up now. The meaning of life revolves around many different things. I
My few years on this planet have been a bit confusing. I have learned of many aspects of life from which one can draw meaning, if indeed such meaning can be drawn. I have also learned that there can be no singular meaning of life to stand for us all, or even any one of us. What I have learned above all is that trying to put words to the meaning of life is a task of absolute absurdity. This is not to be confused with the idea that life has no meaning, for life certainly has meaning. However, there is no single meaning of life to be defined - life is different for us all. Therefore, rather than define life for an entire planet, I shall try to explain what life means as I perceive it, and why it means so.
Life is actually mesmerizing adventure and actually have no general meaning. Each and every person has their own meaning of life and it is oneself who renders the meaning of one’s life. Life is an opinion. It’s an idea. It begins with the birth of an individual. One day that body will die, but that opinion or idea brought by that individual is immortal. It persists in this world for many years.
What is life? That is a question that every human being has asked. Some might say it is merely just going to work every day and doing the things needed to survive. Others might say that life is a meaningful amount of time on Earth that is spent nurturing and caring for the ones you love. Both outlooks are not wrong.
"A human being experiences themselves, their thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of their consciousness. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty” said the one and only Albert Einstein (“Heart Quotes”). Einstein’s opinion of life is similar to that of the practitioners of Buddhism. Soothing, beautiful lands of India inspired Buddhists view of birth and rebirth while the terrain of Greece inspired the greek 's insulting outlook on nature. Buddhists believe man is one with nature while Greek mythology emphasizes the all-importance of man. "Greek mindset turned towards philosophy, so
Thinking about life, we all know that life is the most important thing that we have right now. Without life, we are nothing.Have you ever asked yourself what the purpose of your existence is? Why you’re here? Some say that life has no meaning,but others say there is. They believe that our life was already written and destined. Everything happens to us for a reason. But what is life? Why do we have to feel the sufferings and challenges? Why do they say that “just do your best” even though it’s still not enough? Why is life unfair? I asked one of my friends what life is for him, he answered, 10% is what happens to you and 90 % is how you react to it. He enlightened me.I started to think that it is in our hands. The answer is what you think of it.
