This reminds me of Ecclesiastes 3:11. Sadly though while immortality is nice. He never accounted for violence. I hope we all survive to 2039 if Jehovah permits this world to go that long.

People mistake immortal life with eternal life.

 

Eternal life: you don’t die because of age (or most diseases). 
 

Immortal life: you can’t die at all. 
 

I wish for sf book/movie that could make this distinction real. 

 

Dear brother, Michael, what's the difference? Don't anointed Christians, by receiving immortality, automatically receive eternal life? Does immortality mean a life of illness and aging? What's the point of immortality, then?

 

Maybe because of the translation, I didn't understand your point correctly.

Dear brother, Michael, what's the difference?

 

People who live forever, such as those with the earthly hope, will still have basic biological needs that must be met in order to live. They will need to eat, breathe, get rest when tired, and so forth. They can still be injured.  Such people, even though they have everlasting life, could still starve to death if they never ate food, suffocate to death if they can't breathe, and so forth.  Yes, they will live forever but only if they keep filling their needs.  Their lives depend on food, water, sleep etc... 

 

People who are immortal, such as Jehovah, the resurrected Jesus Christ, and the 144,000 once they go to heaven have no needs. The will never get hungry or thirsty, never need to sleep.  They can never be hurt or damaged to the point that they die. Their life depends upon nothing. 

 

When on earth Jesus was a perfect man. Since he was born sinless, he had the prospect of everlasting life because he did not inherit Adamic sin. Still, he did not live forever. It was possible to kill Jesus by damaging his body to the point it could no longer fill Jesus needs. 

 

That is what life will be like for those with the earthly hope. We will have needs that must be filled if we want to continue living. But, just like Jesus when on Earth, if we are deprived of those needs, we could die unless Jehovah interferes.

Phillipians 4:8 Finally, brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are of serious concern, whatever things are righteous, whatever things are chaste, whatever things are lovable, whatever things are well-spoken-of, whatever things are virtuous, and whatever things are praiseworthy, continue considering these things.

Thats what I meant, just way better worded 😅

Thank you. I understand that perfectly, dear Brother Shawn. I wanted to hear from Brother Michael.

Unmortally = you (or anybody else) cannot stop your life anyway.

Immortally = their don't depend anyone to survive. Even they don't depend some energy to survive.

 

But if someone else immortal sin against Jehovah is possible Jehovah eliminate him because they are immortals but not stronger like Jesus or Jehovah.
