What is the life expectancy of a Japaneese christian and a Shinto/buddhist who lives in America?
&
Why does a Christian who has an eternity planned out with the God He loves with all of His being want to be here in this life any longer than He needs to be?
This life is a curse or rather plagued with curses. It is the closest thing to a satan run realm there is. Only those who Fear the comming judgement see death as the curse.
So if christians don't live so long it is because they are yearning to be with their lord, and don't care to be in this world.
But if they live longer (than average) it is because of the glory of Jesus keeping them healthy.
Isn't that having your cake and eating it ?
