God wants a personal dynamic relationship with you that you transform your life. Those who seek God will find that they are rewarded with His intimate presence.

Comment by Ruth McD on May 29, 2013 at 9:16am: I was hoping my post below answered your question. Sorry it didn't help. It does answer about death, and God does know everything, but wants us willfully to live our lives by making our own decisions still.

Comment by MYu on May 25, 2013 at 10:50pm: The state of death and how it comes are clear to me... is there anything written about the death of each individual creature being pre-determined by God in terms of date/time and manner? I think it might have been implied because HE knows and planned everything, even the number of hair strands we will have in our life time. BUT... does our gift of FREE WILL enable us to change the time/ date and/or reason of our death that has been supposedly pre-determined already even before we were born?... Indeed I mean the death of the body or the sleep of the body and/or separation of the body from our spirit.

The Sleep of Death

Death is a sleep. The New Testament speaks of them “that are fallen asleep in Jesus” (1 Thes. 4:14). The term “sleep” is used in the Scriptures to describe the state of the body in death. Only the body of man sleeps in death. This is revealed in Daniel 12:2 where the dead are described as those who “sleep in the dust of the earth.” Here, it is obvious that:

(1) The part of man that is placed in the dust of the earth is that which sleeps.
(2) But it is man’s body that is placed in the earth.
(3) Thus, it is the body that sleeps in death, not the spirit.

Comment by MYu on May 21, 2013 at 8:52am: We've been told to read the Bible cover to cover in high school. It's ages ago and now I have to ask... What does the Bible say about DEATH? Yes, it is written that death comes like a thief in the night. No one knows the day and the hour. But isn't death predetermined by God for an individual? HE has planned it for each of his creation, for each person even before that person is born? If so,... can a person's FREE WILL alter this predetermined time of death such that due to certain human decisions and choices... he/she can actually make it earlier or miss it for a later date than what God has originally planned? I'm kinda lost on this. Need help to find some answers.
