[Speical--4] ORIGIN of DEATH

Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

Life originated with a life designer and so did our thinking capability. Since God is a happy being, eternal and perfect beyond reproach, we should be likewise. But clearly our life isn’t like that. The original purposes of life as shown above have not been fulfilled. What went wrong?

Now, we know that our body development is sustained by nutrition. Well-balanced nutrition leads to a healthy body, which is why life expectancy in developed countries is longer than that in the developing world. We also know that there are around 100 trillions cells that make up our entire body. An unimaginable number! Although we can observe a few main functions of theirs, details completely elude us and nobody knows why they function the way they do. The most amazing truth is this: they know when to reproduce to replace those died out. This process continues non-stop until at a certain moment in time when it gradually slows down till one day it stops altogether. When this happens, a person dies naturally.

The most troubling question we have always asked ourselves is, Why do cells stop reproducing? We don’t know. We do know, however, that since our body substances are all chemicals that are maintained by good nutrition, therefore suppose that if we keep eating and drinking in the best possible way and live in a perfect environment without harmful pollution, shouldn’t cells keep working properly, and thereby, giving us a very long life, even an eternal one? This shouldn’t be impossible from a strictly chemical point of view. Look at an old car, for example. Even if that car has been abandoned for decades, if we repair it and put in all the necessary items, the engine will absolutely start. There’s no question about this. The machine just can’t refuse to start when the power runs through it according to the laws of physics. The machine has no brain to decide whether or not it wants to start! It is simply a mechanical thing, is it not? Likewise, our entire body is also a chemical/mechanical thing. People who can afford to have luxurious medicinal liquids injected into their wrinkled skin, the wrinkles suddenly disappear! Theoretically, any parts of our body can be repaired because they’re all chemical. So if we keep providing all the necessary things our body needs, it should always live, shouldn’t it? And yet, we die no matter how hard we try with all the injections we can think of. What does this really tell us?

It bluntly tells us one simple truth: that life isn’t just about the physical body (chemicals), that there must be an invisible part (non-physical) that secretly sustains life all along, an invisible part that is beyond our capacity to repair. We know this as spirit. When a person dies, his body doesn’t get lost (we even know how to preserve a dead body), what is really lost is the spirit.

Now we ask, How does the spirit get lost?

Science cannot explain how our spirit formed and how it is lost. The Bible says it comes from God. So when a person dies, it seems that God has decided to remove his spirit. But isn’t He a loving personality? Why would he take pleasure in ending one’s life? Also, as we’ve seen earlier, did He not himself set out the purposes of life in such a way that we should even live forever? By removing a spirit from someone, God seems to have contradicted himself. Most people would think so. But, is it really so?

First of all, take a look back at what happened in the garden of Eden. At the same time God was setting out the purposes of life, He also laid down a strict command that Adam should not eat fruits from a certain tree. God clearly told him what would happen if he did not obey the command. Yes, God said that any such disobedience would bring in death. If Adam did not disobey, he wouldn’t die. But he disobeyed and then eventually he died. Death, therefore, followed disobedience. In other words, death didn’t come from God, it came from Adam’s own disobedience or sin. Therefore, when the spirit disappears, it disappears as an automatic result of sin, and not because God has decided to take it away as some may think. Again we ask, but it was Adam who sinned, not us, so why do we have to suffer from what we didn’t do? Take a look at how a photocopier works. If we place a paper with a drawing of the Eiffel Tower on the screen of a photocopier and press the start button, what do you think will be printed on all the sheets that come out of the photocopier? Yes, each and everyone of those sheets automatically bears the same drawing of the Eiffel Tower! Likewise, death caused by Adam is automatically attached to all his children, us.

So, death is a matter of sin due to which the spirit disappears. And since the invisible spirit is not dependent on nutrition either, no nutrition can prevent it from leaving us. That’s why suddenly, despite what we do, those cells simply don’t listen and stop reproducing.
