I believe there is life after we die or after this world. 

I have confidence that man dies a physical death but would live either in heaven or in hell.

Even the sentence “go to hell” (although this word is considered vulgar by some people) is commonly used. That suggests that this is a subconscious belief that some people end up in hell.

Job 14:14-15 NET 14 If a man dies, will he live again? All the days of my hard service I will wait until my release comes. 15 You will call and I will answer you; you will long for the creature you have made.

Job, however, was saying that he hoped he would live again even if his present condition did not improve. 

He was optimistic that death or sickness was not the end of him. Death or sickness does not get the final say.

The world is a temporary place. Live your life like you are on a journey. 

Remember, all possessions are temporary, and they won’t follow you to the grave.

Ecc 5:15 NET Just as he came forth from his mother’s womb, naked will he return as he came, and he will take nothing in his hand that he may carry away from his toil.

1Ti 6:7 NET For we have brought nothing into this world and so we cannot take a single thing out either.

Everyone will die!

The concern is the type of death or the cause.

We do not need to fear death at all. I know how hard this is.

I do not suggest acceptability either. 

I am saying everyone born of a woman or otherwise has an expiry date.

No one lives forever on planet earth.

We should be more concerned about events after death. 

Heb 9:27 EasyEnglish God has chosen that every person must die once. After death, God will decide what is fair for that person.

Please, read the following:

Job 14:1-12 NET 1 “Man, born of woman, lives but a few days and they are full of trouble. 2 He grows up like a flower and then withers away; he flees like a shadow, and does not remain. 3 Do you fix your eye on such a one? And do you bring me before you for judgment? 4 Who can make a clean thing come from an unclean? No one! 5 Since man’s days are determined, the number of his months is under your control; you have set his limit and he cannot pass it. 6 Look away from him and let him desist, until he fulfills his time like a hired man. 7 “But there is hope for a tree: If it is cut down, it will sprout again, and its new shoots will not fail. 8 Although its roots may grow old in the ground and its stump begins to die in the soil, 9 at the scent of water it will flourish and put forth shoots like a new plant. 10 But man dies and is powerless; he expires – and where is he? 11 As water disappears from the sea, or a river drains away and dries up, 12 so man lies down and does not rise; until the heavens are no more, they will not awake nor arise from their sleep.
