>> change in matter....you become organic matter and and continue living as healthy grass, spinach and whatever else you become fertilizer to.

Lol .... Healthy spinach. Interesting.
What informs your view kenmac?

hi..
unfortunately for you..all my references are based on the Bible..so if it is a problem..u might as well ignore this post
please note also..the interpretation is mine and mine alone..as I believe God to lead me.

Ok..

It is appointed for man to die once..and after that judgment.. Hebrews 9:27

so..statistics proven, one out of every one human dies.. it follows u will never leave this life alive. ..but that is one part..physical death..where body separates with spirit..

.. body goes back to earth where it came from..and spirit goes back to whoever gave it.. GOD..Ecclesiastes 12:7 ..plus confession ya Christ..Luke 23:46

then there is the second death..Call it Kifo Reloaded..spiritual death..Only four times in the Bible is the term "Second Death" mentioned: Rev 2:11, Rev 20:6 & 14, and Rev. 21:8. We have been taught that this "Second Death" means permanent separation from God either by burning or some other form of annihilation, depending on your particular theology.


so..mtubiz..which death are you referring to?

on a side note..I do not know of other religions..i plead ignorance here on how you, or others seek to find your way to God..

but for me.. Christianity is the only "religion" in which instead of man seeking for God..God seeks out man..makes a way out for man..that it seems its only in Christianity that God wants more for you..and not more from you! but again..depends with what people are taught in there respective churches..doctrines..beliefs..religions etc.

Can my catholic brothers/sisters explain purgatory?

Good for you. Thou art a braver soul than i am..

my reasoning.. why do i choose to spend my life now doing my best to honor God, do good to others always..and be faithful with all that is entrusted to me? so that when i die..n.. I'd rather die a good man and find out there is no such thing as "GOD" than live the alternative and find that He DOES, actually, EXIST!
