Question: Why does a person being born to death have to a long agonizing process!?
Shouldn't we just shorten up the process!. Wouldn't you like to shorten up the process!.

Haven't you thought about that!. What is wrong with shortening!. Who would want to keep living knowing that they are going to die anytime!?Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Why is it agonizing!? Because after God made everything perfect, sin entered into the world which is what has caused even the ground to be cursed (not to mention the corruption of our bodies, our relationships, etc)!.

Why is it long!? Well, that's relative isn't it!. It only seems long because we are living in our corrupted bodies which we inherited from Adam!. Be glad that God gives you such a long time to choose to live for Him in appreciation for what He did in payment for our sin!.

In your details, you ask "shouldn't WE shorten up the process"!. I emphasize WE because it almost seems that you are asking if WE should go outside of the will of God and do things that would jeopardize our own life!. I long to be with Christ, but I also long to do His will which is to tell others: that He exists, He has laws, we broke those laws, we deserve punishment, that He paid our fine so we don't have to be punished for eternity, and to live accordingly!. If we share this with others, then they can live their life in the hope that Jesus Christ has given us through His sacrifice which should be a life without worry!. Not that you won't struggle through this life, but that you will act and react according to your faith when these struggles come!.

Remember, "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you!. I do not give to you as the world gives!. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid!." John 14:27

Life was only agonizing to me when I felt I had no control over it!. To a certain extent I don't, of course!. But there's too much to do!. I suffer more than I'd like, but I don't suffer enough for life to be too horrible!.

I can see some people thinking of life like that!. But to me, it's more like getting a free pass to go to an amusement park with no one in it!. Death is forever, life is "once in a lifetime!."

And if things get too bad, I find comfort in the fact that there's always extremism!. I can always try to hijack a ship or start a religion if things get too bad!.

yes shortening the process would be awesome :D!. But i think we are all given a chance, just one life, to grow, experience, and ultimately make right choices!. EVERYTHING in this life passes, and one day you will be 60 and wonder where the days have gone!. By then you ll have gained alot of wisdom and understanding of the world, and then maybe u will be able to answer this question urself :)!Www@QuestionHome@Com

The Existential question again!.
'Agony` means struggle!. There is no life without it!.
In the struggle for life, there are successes and failures!.
The successes are rewarding!.
The failures are the 'spice' that make them more so!.
The destination may be fixed, but it's the journey that matters!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
