For most people....probably none of you who read and participate in this thread, fear of death is a reality.

I personally don't see any particular positive energy for fearing death.

What sayest thou band?

Our primary impulse, as living beings, is to Survive...not to "die". Therefore, it is not unnatural to become anxious or uneasy (fearful) about the idea of "dying", especially when we cannot "know" what is on the "other side" until we cross over.

Imagine a doorway, with a black curtain, where you see people going in from time to time, but NEVER coming back. If someone were to ask you to step through that doorway, how would you feel about that, knowing that you have no reason to expect to return to your home, your family, your "life" as you know it?

How would a person feel about such an invitation?

never thought about it in that context Mr.Muhammad.

it would be harrowing under such circumstances to be sure.

but at some point the wise would submit to the idea of doing something to avoid it or to accept it and go bravely into his destiny.

i feared going to sleep as a child, wondering if i would wake up in the morn. as i lay awake and surveyed the room through the old roller curtain i would see the shadows on moonlit nights being cast thereon.

Most of my friegth came from the grief i saw relatives expressing. i saw the crying and moaning as fear, when it was mostly grief. this i learned much later.

i remember when my maternal grandmother died, i went to her home late one night and went in and just sat around remembering her. it was around 11:00pm and i began to hear noises. at first i became afraid. then a thougth came to me about my grandmother and if she could have come back she would never have harmed me.

i went into her bedroom and sat in her chair the rest of the night and fell asleep.


now i must admit that my confidence is in what I have through Jesus Christ mr.muhammad, eternal life.

I will dwell in heaven right here on the new earth. it is very sad that some many will be robbed of that opportunity because of pride, lies and an entity who hates God so miuch that he will try and hurt Him through His creations and creatures.

How sad it is mr.muhammad that God created the earth and man flawless and because of a decision man made death entered into the earth realm.

But praise be to God that His love was so strong that He gave His only begotten son to pay the price that sin required. now that mr.muhammad is love.
