Why do humans fear death?

op, I don't know if you are male or female, but I know this: you have some serious sin in your life. I'd say sexual. And that is for starters. Not even going to touch the lying. But know this. The bible is perfectly clear that animals do not have souls. They have the breath of God. So no, they don't have to answer to sin, because they are not individual souls, with a God given conscience. And God is in control, whether you like it or not. And He is Holy and Just. You WILL answer for every sin when you take your last breath. Repenting and trusting in Jesus Christ doesn't mean you can never have sex or eat good food or have alcoholic drinks. It means you agree to let Jesus be the One you follow, and leave it up to Him. He not only protects you and sets you free, He will give you the spouse of your dreams, the job you never thought you could handle, the desires you thought you were never good enough yo have. He not only makes you a new creature here on earth, He gives you an eternity of joy and power and unlimted love in eternity. Think about it. I am praying for you. Look at all these threads, Op. Time is so short. Don't gamble anymore

Bingo. A better question would be ... Why is there an unrelenting effort by our masters to make us fear death?

good question.

I think the answer is about having better control over the people.

Ever thought about what "sin" means? Ever thought about why sleeping around is considered a sin? Would you be able to explain the actually "spiritual" meaning of it with your own words or is it to you because "the lord says"??
Can you explain the spiritual reason and definition of marriage? Today, most marriages are meaningless in the spiritual point of view.
But also, many couples today are living in a way which "fulfills" a "marriage" spiritually without ever getting wed

“Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you."

I'm not passing judgment. The Lord will judge you. But rebuking you is not judgment, Friend. I care where you are going when you take your last breath. Because despite the lies of esoterics, there will be no second life after this.

The Lord is clear: when He says "Don't......." ...He means Don't hurt yourself. One night stands, friends with benefits, sleeping with exes and moving in with someone who has no committed obligation to you in the eyes of our Holy and Righteous Creator. You are in sexual sin. You come as close to you can as trying to capture a Scripture given by your Holy Creator in your glp signature, but you can't really quote the Lord, because you are in sin. And coming close but still rejecting Him, come your Judgment Day, will not be enough to escape the Lake of Fire.

Don't fear the reaper

Seriously, you're trying to tell the OP that he has serious sins in his life, sexual problems, and calling him a liar, but you're trying to veil it under a definition of 'rebuke'. You're not criticizing his behavior or actions (a rebuke) because you DON'T know them, or him.... you are, quite frankly, doling out unfounded judgement upon someone you don't know a thing about because you don't like that his point of view is different from yours. And FFS, what difference does it make if OP is male or female??????? The question means something different depending on the gender asking?????

Your answer apparently lacks humanity;
You seem to have very little capacity for compassion;
Your words appear sneaky and your motivation appears to be driven by FEAR. It seems your tongue is forked.

OP's initial question is a damn good question....
Your answer, however, sucks IMO.
