Man is a peculiar animal. He does not want to die, but he wants to have heaven. But it is true that heaven comes after death. That means if a man wants to taste heaven, firstly he must die.
As a Drishtantoist, avoiding the matter of heaven I follow the principle: ‘Be good only for saving yourself and the world’.

As a Dishwashoist, I follow the alternative principle of avoiding the minor hell of explosive diarrhoea on earth in real time.
Re: Man does not want to die, but he wants to taste the heav
It is not true that man can only appreciate true culinary delight after explosive diarrhoea. To hell with the disentrailists

Not for everyone of us.But it is true that heaven comes after death
King James Bible (Cambridge Ed.)
Mathew 7:14
Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
Re: Man does not want to die, but he wants to taste the heav
Aversion to death is a result of natural selection. Wanting to taste heaven is a consequence of human's being able to realise we're going to die.

Re: Man does not want to die, but he wants to taste the heav
Please, the only revelant book in the Bible is Revelation. In fact, the other 65 books are merely wrapping paper for Revelation, the 66th (mankind = 66 in English gematria simplex, A=1 to Z=26).reasonvemotion wrote:Not for everyone of us.But it is true that heaven comes after death

Re: Man does not want to die, but he wants to taste the heav
keep in mind that when written, the author of revelation had no idea what books would be included in the canon; thus, the appeal to 66 having meaning in gematria reads the book anachronistically.
