This is short-sighted. For, I don’t fear death, but fear not finishing my work on Earth! Like a lot of us here. We are not dying as Jesus did, to save mankind, but must live and fight, now!, to save it!
It’s all well and good to say “I don’t fear death.” but it’s not quite as simple as that. I’d say when we’re really faced with it do we truly know whether we fear it or not. That’s why I’m starting to embrace hardships now, not look out for them, but when they do come, I try and see it as an opportunity. There are times (very rare) am faced with a certain situation that is less than death and I act like a coward. That’s why I’m no longer investing in the time to help others wake up, I nearly lost everything in that fight, including myself. Time to work on myself physically and mentally. So when the time comes where life or death is on the line, I’m fucking ready.
True for so many. The reason is the "Church" if they taught the truth, that salvation is through faith in Jesus ALONE, people would understand this concept. Instead they teach Jesus plus something else, usually adherence to church doctrine and laws.
I once was blind, but now I can see that the belief in Christ IS NOT a free pass, headlong into just blowing it all out. Repentance is a heavy burden and and is really owed to one's self (your temple).
I tend to think a lot of people don't fear the state of death, for lack of a better term, as much as how they are going to get there. You ask anyone, they will just say they want to die in their sleep. No one says they want to have cancer, drown, get shot, starve, etc. Much of the fear comes from not just the unknown, but the potential for pain and suffering- for both one's self and loved ones.
One of the most life changing events for me personally was when my FIL passed. We knew he was going, but the moment it happened was unexpected. (Dying can be a strange process with little rallies. I read somewhere that it takes 1-3 weeks to die.) I had gone to the store to get some Ensure for him and 20 minutes later, I walked back into the house and Boom. There were three of us and we all just stared at each other for a few moments - like, did that really just happen? One thing: you really do see the soul leave the eyes and for a few weeks after, I was awake at night. But while it was shocking initially, I have to say, it lessened my fear of death.
I don't fear death. I'm ready for it, and surprised i'm still around, but glad to be here with you anons.

I feel exactly the same way.
I also want to see how this movie ends.

Oppressor-Victim-Savior
The unholy trinity.
Proverbs 8:36
But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: all they that hate me love death.

Death is like going down the steepest slide at the water park. Kinda scary, but doable.
And probably lots of fun!

Your right.
