What is the true meaning of life and death?

can any1 give me a good answer to that? just want to hear your thoughts and opinions on this question.What is the true meaning of life and death?
Life means everlasting life, for the obedient ones who have come through the sheep gate, but there are others who come another way, these are robbers and thieves, these are those who will be cast into the fires of Hell...for the wages of sin is death.


So if you say you are a sinner even while you say you are a Christian, then you are called a robber and a thief, for only sinless and righteous people may go into the kingdom of heaven.What is the true meaning of life and death?
Life as we know it is mortal and leads to eternal death.
To know the Infinite-Personal-Creator God by faith through Jesus Christ the Lord.

of death i dont know
You live and you die. No meaning. Or just what you want to make of it.
This is an absolutely incredible interview with Rick Warren, author of ';Purpose Driven Life'; His


wife now has cancer, and he now has ';wealth'; from the book sales. In the interview by Paul Bradshaw


with Rick Warren, Rick said: ';People ask me, 'What is the purpose of life?'


And I respond: 'In a nutshell, life is preparation for eternity. We were made to last forever, and God


wants us to be with Him in Heaven.'





One day my heart is going to stop, and that will be the end of my body--but not the end of me.


I may live to 100 years on earth, but I am going to spend trillions of years in eternity. This is the warm-up act, the dress rehearsal. God wants us to practice on earth what we will do forever in eternity. We were made by God and for God, and until you figure that out, life isn't going to make sense.





Life is a series of problems: Either you are in one now, you're just coming out of one, or you're


getting ready to go into another one. The reason for this is that God is more interested in your character than your comfort. God is more interested in making your life holy than He is in making your life happy.


We can be reasonably happy here on earth, but that's not the goal of life. The goal is to grow in


character, in Christ likeness. This past year has been the greatest year of my life but also the toughest,


with my wife, Kay, getting cancer.





I used to think that life was hills and valleys - you go through a dark time, then you go to the


mountaintop, back and forth. I don't believe that anymore. Rather than life being hills and valleys,


I believe that it's kind of like two rails on a railroad track, and at all times you have something


good and something bad in your life. No matter how good things are in your life, there is always something bad that needs to be worked on. And no matter how bad things are in your life, there is always something good you can thank God for. You can focus on your purposes, or you can focus on your problems. If you focus on your problems, you're going into self-centeredness, 'which is my problem, my issues, my pain.'





But one of the easiest ways to get rid of pain is to get your focus off yourself and onto God and


others. We discovered quickly that in spite of the prayers of hundreds of thousands of people, God was


not going to heal Kay or make it easy for her. It has been very difficult for her, and yet God


has strengthened her character, given her a ministry of helping other people, given her a testimony,


drawn her closer to Him and to people. You have to learn to deal with both the good and


the bad of life. Actually, sometimes learning to deal with the good is harder. For instance,


this past year, all of a sudden, when the book sold 15 million copies, it made me instantly very wealthy.





It also brought a lot of notoriety that I had never had to deal with before. I don't think God


gives you money or notoriety for your own ego or for you to live a life of ease.


So I began to ask God what He wanted me to do with this money, notoriety and influence. He gave


me two different passages that helped me decide what to do, II Corinthians 9 and Psalm 72.





First, in spite of all the money coming in, we would not change our lifestyle one bit. We made no


major purchases. Second, about midway through last year, I stopped taking a salary from the church.


Third, we set up foundations to fund an initiative we call 'The Peace Plan' to plant churches, equip leaders,


assist the poor, care for the sick, and educate the next generation. Fourth, I added up all that the church had paid me in the 24 years since I started the church, and I gave it all back. It was liberating to be able to


serve God for free. We need to ask ourselves: Am I going to live for possessions? Popularity? Am I going to be driven by pressures? Guilt? Bitterness? Materialism? Or am I going to be driven by God's purposes (for my life)?





When I get up in the morning, I sit on the side of my bed and say, 'God, if I don't get anything


else done today, I want to know You more and love You better.' God didn't put me on earth just to


fulfill a to-do list. He's more interested in what I am than what I do. That's why we're called human beings, not human doings.





Happy moments, PRAISE GOD. Difficult moments, SEEK GOD. Quiet moments, WORSHIP GOD. Painful


moments, TRUST GOD. Every moment, THANK GOD. ';
Life: when The Creator (Jesus) LIVES inside of your Spirit--with ya! :)





Death: when The Creator Does Not Live inside of your Spirit--with ya. :(





Were' Talking ';Spiritual'; here!
You live, and then you die, and that's the end of that. There's no true meaning.
human terms google it for very specific information. the physical side of life and death we are able to explain... the spiritual side eludes us and everything out there is pure speculation...
It realy does depend on what way you are asking that question.


How this universe came to be and why is very much a mystery if there is any why at all.


And are we just meat bodies with one life and that's it, or is their life after death, as in heaven, hell and reincarnation?


On a personal level we are faced with many questions regarding our very existence and we could sit and ponder them forever.


I think you get out of life what you put into it, and what you demand back from it. On this level life has its own meaning to you, and death is well earned according to your achievements.
i dunno. and i cant be arsed to think of owt either.
Your born,you live,you die......


or ';work,eat,consume,die';


anyone saying they have the answer is a liar and full of the proverbial bull scatter.....
There is no ';meaning';,we live then we die,end of story.
life is in Christ and he conquered death when he laid down his life for all of us........so i am ready to face death in this life in order to have life in the next......hope that makes sense
This question made me smile.





I imagined all of History's philosophers, scholars and theologians, all with Yahoo!Answers accounts, giving their best answers, either in pithy one-line aphorisms, or perhaps in links to their works in pdf format.





And then what.... The question gets resolved in 3 days and nobody looks at it.





Just curious, how are you going to chose the ';right'; answer for this question?





Or is it going for a vote?





It's ironic that in opening up the world's Great Conversation to world-wide instantaneous participation, we limit it. Instead of a conversation, we get surveys.
The meaning of life is simple. To experience more and more of what there is to see here, to make choices that bring about more understanding and joy, and thereby increase or expand the Universe, and the essence of who we are. Death is only an end to the physical body, nothing more. Either we have decided that we have done what it is that we have come to do, or we decide that things are not going well enough to continue this track. That is all it is, we simply re-emerge in a different way if we choose it.
At a personal level it is to ensure the species continues. At the species level it is the same but at a general level of all the life on earth then nobody knows or has ever known despite a lot of religious types trying to convince you the do.
We all come into incarnation again and again to demonstrate the divine nature of the soul on the physical plane and to come into contact with our human soul who has for long ages overshadowed our very existence until we all measure up to the fullness of adept ship and have become Masters of Wisdom and of compassion.
We were principally put here to worship God, which would explain why so many people claim to have some sort of a religious outlook.





Beyond that, we are here to look after the earth and all of it's inhabitants under God's direction.





Death is not necessarily a final end. The resurrection as promised in the Bible is detailed and many have hope in it. This web site contains further helpful information.

There's no meaning to any of it. We're born, we live, we die, subject completely to the laws of physics. We start in oblivion and return to oblivion.
see dictionary.com
The meaning of life is to walk in the footsteps of Jesus, even if has to carry you part of the way. The meaning of death is to reap what you have sown, and live in paradise eternally.
Life and Death. Hmmmmm





First of all, we all have life. God gave us life to do something with our lives. We can carry on his mission and be good citizens and stewards of the Earth. Or we can just be a silly little rebel and go against his Word.





Death is the ';last level'; of Life. It doesn't end there - it's only the beginning.
