If God gives life, do you think that God is the cause of any type of death ?

[msmoneybags48]

No, I don't.  I believe that, since God is the Father of everyone, when he decides He is ready to call you home to be in His kingdom, He silences you and put you in an eternal sleep.  Your physical body is still here for everyone to see and when it is over, you don't see them anymore.

Lately I'm reminded of the saying, "Everyone wants to go to Heaven, but no one wants to take the necessary step to get there."

I've seen a fair amount of death and dying up close and personal.  My mother died when I was 17.  My father died a few months before I turned 40.  Neither was easy for me.  I suspect it isn't easy for any of you when it happens to someone you know.

You can only game the odds so far.  I don't care how many vitamins you take or how much yogurt you consume--we are all mortal, and this is one common experience we will all have.  I happen to believe we are all spirits in bodies, make of that what you will.  Some believe we go to a particular place when we die.  John Lennon thought that we all shine on.  Science teaches us that energy cannot be destroyed; it simply changes form.  I find that even in my belief I have more questions than answers.  I have a 97-year-old step-mom who still feels she hasn't lived long enough; I tell you the truth, I cannon really imagine it.  I've known people my age to die from heart attacks and stroke.  Last year a 24-year-old guy that worked where I work dropped dead at a Memorial Day barbecue from a brain embolism.  He had a wife and a month-old baby

We try so hard to lay a hand of ration and reason on this matter of death--and for all that it is still a Great Mystery to so many of us.  I am no different--and I am really no closer to having any hard-core answers now than I was when my mother died.  Yesterday we celebrated the triumph of life over death--and whether you believe in Jesus the Christ or in bunnies and eggs and trees coming back to life, that's what Easter is all about.  So.  I take heart.  Just because I don't always go on in this particular form does not mean that I don't go on.  And it's that way for you, too.
