The purpose of our existence .........the real reason we are here

eBlip · #1 2006-08-21, 22:34

the reason we are here is much more simple than you may think......

you will find that every living being is totally fulfilling their true calling in life......

the purpose of life is ........ to live it and then die.....

there is nothing more to our purpose.

keep up doing what you are doing.......as you are right on track.

you mean the meaning of life.

the meaning of life is to live. and part of living is death. the purpose of life is to know yourself.

you are a little late.

i am right on time.......by the look of things.......

if i meant the meaning of life.......then maybe i would have said that.

i repeat ........the purpose of life is to live it and then die...

if that is too deep for you.......then so be it.

you have said what i have said. the real reason why we are here you: to live and die me: to live and part of living is death they are the same thing.

you do mean the meaning of life.

i have spent many days in meditation over this a while ago.

what does life mean, life means you are living, and part of living is death ie, you will die. what is life's purpose or why are we alive, to know yourself, essentially your life, and be able to live.

what you said isn't deep. what you are saying is like saying the purpose off a stove is to cook. which isn't true that is the purpose of using a stove. the purpose of a stove is to be able to cook and to know how to cook. it's purpose could even be said to make sure we are fed.

There is no meaning of life.

Graemy · #6 2006-08-21, 23:29

that could be said too. life isn't one set thing.

"keep up doing what you are doing........as you are right on track."

So if I'm a serial murderer I should keep it up? Is that, no matter how offensive to our sensibilities, still living?

edit: also, KHAAAAAAAAN!!!

We are born lost - in a place that is unfamiliar and unknown. In time we learn to walk and talk and interact with this place called the carnal and secular. We grow despite our desire not to - in the turning of time we learn valuable leasons that add to and take away from our character and contenance.

Every day becoming wiser and full of knowledge. Only for what? The reason is to die for the nothing? What a desperate thought.

Even if religion was man made and set a morale standard so high as not be attained but, to run from and disregard as foolishness - you have to see through the pride of man to understand it's purpose.

When man realizes his insignificance to the eternal is when his ego is small enough for him to meet God. Once he sees he knows that his purpose in life was only to get right with God. His purpose is to shed from the tent of the body of bone and sinew and enter into the world of the spirit where all things carnal are left behind leaving the pure man of spirit.

So we toil, thrive and die for what reason? If you understand the love or hate that is in your heart then you will begin to see your spirit man waiting to be poured out into the world. This is the first purpose - to become anew and throw off the old dead ways of the world.

"So I say, live by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature. For the sinful nature desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the sinful nature. They are in conflict with each other, so that you do not do what you want. But if you are led by the Spirit, you ar not under the law.

The acts of teh sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that hthose who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.

But the fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law."

GN 5:16-22

The only purpose in this life is to get right with God.
