You say this as though it is in some way a profound revelation.

...which is also a finite number.

And how about eternity?

Rather like JS357 said, it's interesting to note how people like you, who are convinced they will have eternal life, can nevertheless seem to be so concerned about life expectancy. But if religion helps you to come to terms with the inevitability and finality of death, or cope with the vicissitudes of life, and if subscribing to the ideology that a religion gives you creates some meaning and purpose for you in your everyday life, then good for you.

Why are you so narrowly minded as to presume GB is "so concerned about life expectancy" that you miss the whole point?

How long will your body last before you face eternity? Your body has a life expectancy, but you can expect to live forever somewhere.

It's thread topics like this one that have led me to believe that Grampy Bobby is concerned about life expectancy and death and so on. I don't think it is narrow minded of me to point it out.

Face what "eternity"? Expect to "live forever somewhere" in what way? You seem to forget that I don't believe in supernatural things.

I would think, barring a fatal accident or unforeseen deterioration in my health, that I have 15 or maybe 20 years more before I die.

Everyone has the same concerns. Why are you fixated on GB expressing himself on this topic? All you're accomplishing is to derail a perfectly ligitimate discussion just because of your blatant bias against him.

You have personal issues and they're reflected in your posts. But don't take it so personal. So does everyone else. Including me. 😉

My observation ~ that it is interesting to note how people like the OP poster, who are convinced they will enjoy immortality, can nevertheless seem to be so concerned about life expectancy ~ is, I think, a perfectly legitimate contribution to the discussion.

Surely this is an entirely off-topic remark, right?

Anyway, do you think the supposed prospect of eternal life makes it easier for believers (in such a notion) to face death than non-believers?

About death, life expectancy, and immortality? I don't think they do at all. What makes you think everyone has the same concerns?

Christianity is a relationship, not a "religion".

Well given that I already contributed infinity to the infinity thread, I might as well stick to finite numbers for future posts.

On a more serious note: are you saying that heaven doesn't have an internet connection?

Interesting question in that its premise is the reality of "heaven".

According to the data, I have about 11 years or so, maybe less because I rank high in other areas.
But it matters not to me. I want to live as long as I can to preach the Good News and help some people and annoy the rest.
The bible calls death an enemy.
I will not be in the presence of the Lord when I die because this is not what the bible teaches.
...[text shortened]... do not praise or thank the Lord when we are dead.
I will provide bible references upon request.

... body or soul "sleep"?
