Question: Can you interpret the following!?
"If death is there, you are not!. If you are there, death is not!."Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
when you are dead your quintessesnce is gone and so "you are not [there]!." consequntly when you are there death is absent!. this operates on the deffinition that death is merely the lack of life and has no further significance

I believe this in its denotative since but it implies that you cease to exist intirely after you die which i do not believe

I do not know where this idea originated fromWww@QuestionHome@Com

I think this phrase is saying that who we really are, leaves the body in death!. We are spirit beings (without bodies) with souls (our mind and individuality) encased in mortal bodies!. When the mortal body dies, as it ultimately must, our spirit vacates our bodies and returns to where we began the whole human experience!.
I call it "Home", where we all began!.


It's my interpretation anyway!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Hebrews 9:
27Just as man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment,

Once death comes you are at the judgement, while death is not there life and hope are!.

A quote I like from C!.S!. Lewis!.!. "100 per cent of us die, and the percentage cannot be increased!."

it's metaphorical!.

Instead of saying "If you are dead!.!.!.", they're making the point that YOU aren't dead, once "death is there", you are not!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

one cannot live with death!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
