Appointed Time

Still... in order for the body to stop functioning, an organ must stop so death can occur. When a human created temporary body dies, it turns to dust. 1 Corinthians 15:47 The first man was of the dust of the earth, the second man from heaven. My temporary body will go back to dust with no memories. Ecclesiastes 9:5 "For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing; they have no further reward, and even the memory of them is forgotten." About "long life"? Some will have long life, others will not. God have "appointed" their time to die so we don't know when our appointed time except God. Ephesians 6:3 "that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth." Psalm 103:14 "for he knows how we are formed, he remembers that we are dust." Psalm 139:13 For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. God appointed my time to die before I was born. (NKJV) Proverbs 8:23 "I was appointed from eternity, from the beginning, before the world began." (NKJV) Psalm 79:11 Let the groaning of the prisoner come before You;According to the greatness of Your power Preserve those who are appointed to die; (NKJV) Ecclesiastes 7:14 In the day of prosperity be joyful, But in the day of adversity consider: Surely God has appointed the one as well as the other, So that man can find out nothing that will come after him. Hebrews 9:27 (NKJV) And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment. (NIV) Just as man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment. The Bible repeatedly speak of two kinds of life—physical and spiritual, as well as two kinds of death—physical and spiritual. Physical death is the separation of the immaterial part of us from our material body. Meaning our spirit will leave the temporary body and move on to eternal life. Spiritual death is the separation of a created being from God, who is the very Source of eternal life. The first two humans immediately died spiritually, where cut off from God, and corruption and decay entered the universe. Years later, they both died physically. My Christian view of life and death ends on a very positive future. Revelations 21:1-4 says "Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away...Now the dwelling of God is with men, and he will live with them…and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away."
