Yes. I'm quite sure He can.

But in the way that anyone, to know how it feels to jump out of a plane, will go parachuting.

The only way anyone knows to experience death is to live thru a life and 'die'. I believe dieing is an experience we will all go through. And the only way we can remember that experience is remembering it when we wake up on the 'other side' or whatever you wish to call an afterlife.

But to ultimately die, as in never to be aware again? No, He cant. Ceasing to exist makes abosutely no sense at all. But going through a life, in which the only thing you know truly exists is your body and mind and to die from that into another existence is, of course, possible.

I know that may sound confusing. I'm tryin to sort some of it out myself!

Boredom doesn't exist to God. You are attempting to use a finite, mortal mind to state how God would feel. God doesn't get bored, He has existed for all eternity. He needs nothing outside of himself, because He is self-sufficient.

Oh, and thats right, by the way. Even I look forward to eternity because there's many interesting concepts I wish to unravel like rate of perception and things like that. Or the old 'why?" I can only presume God has even more things to keep Himself interested.

Have a great day.

Explain why ceasing to exist makes no sense...


Of course its possible to go to another plane of existence. Does it happen?

Is there any place in the bible that deals with the laws concerning the death of God?
