      Man is mortal and will die one day; so there is no rational "if" .

   Para, what's your problem with this question? I saw your post in the other thread concerning this topic and it didn't make any sense then, nor does this thread now.
   
   The question was for YOU as an individual to answer. It made no difference what the OP said.

         Better question is what wouldn't I do if I couldn't die. I would do everything my imagination could dream up and reality would allow. Now, I'm not going to list everything, because to do so requires way too much thought and not enough space to put it all down.
         
         There would be no limit to what you could do if you couldn't die. That's the whole point. You could live life to the ultimate extreme and not have a worry in the world about dying.
         
         Get it?

            Sound like a truthful answer, one that most honest people would answer.
            
              BUT how will that affect everyone else?

               Thank you.
               Why would you think it would affect anyone(everyone) else? As long as I remain who I am, it shouldn't have any affect on anyone(everyone) else.

                  I was thinking along the lines that everyone knew that they will never die.
                  
                      And if everyone did anything that they ever wanted to do. there would be some conflicting interest.

                           What type of conflict of interests are you thinking about Jerami? I mean seriously. No one has the right to interfere in someone's life unless it's a detriment to someone else. So, I don't see how a conflict of interest can appear as long as people are not harming others while doing whatever it is that they are planning on doing.

                                 Forever is planned properly. I mean seriously....come on man use your brain.
                                 Really? BS.
                                 Anyone mixing into someone's life shouldn't be there in the first place.
                                 If both people are unable to die, you have no point. No harm can come.

   Philosophically - if you could not die then you would continue to live.  Every other part of the thought is conditional on understanding things like forever and everything etc.
   
   If I could not die I would gather all that knowledge and resource together and create a small world and then create the land and the sea, the trees plants and animals and then I would create people and put them on it and tell them to kneel regularly and worship me - Nah !!  not really, why would I need to do anything so trivial ?

    If I could not die I would rent my body out to science and let them use me as a test bed for medicines, safety devices, nutrition, and other applications that would benefit man...
    
    I would be particularly drawn to the development of the coital alignment technique ( CAT ) allowing myself to be used as a true test bed for its development...How altruistic is that !!! And forever, too...

    The knowlege that we will one day die helps us set life into perspective. But if we could live forever then wouldn't life loose it's value and meaning?
    
    If I was rich, good looking and healthy then living forever would be amazing. But as I'm broke, getting fat and my knees and spine make horrible clicking noises, then living forever would not be so much fun.
    
    The question is how crap would life have to get before living forever is unbearable? But even if it was unbearable, would I want to die? No that's too final and I have deep insecurities about no longer being conscious.
    
    Excellent OP by the way.

       But if everyone has eternal life ...  ???   Them hungry people  has eternity to come out of their situation?  They aren't going to starve to death cause death isn't any more.       which begs the question.
       
           Maybe we could have, or have had, eternal life if we weren't so selfish.. and them starving people didn't exist.
           Maybe we reap what we sow?

          Jerami you are correct but it was my understanding reading the post that it reflect on individuals not the entire human race for that would have meant the prophecy had been fullfilled and this would not be the same world.

          Actually it does- you guys are talking about eternal life. What you would do if you could not die.
          well if you could not die I'd like to be with God in heaven because this is the reality we will have to face- did we accept Jesus as our Lord so we could gain eternal life?
          So you all are talking about the same subject- yet you speak of it as if you never heard of eternal life with God.
          Sowing and reaping even mentioned by Jerami.
          Well if we sow to the things of God we will reap a harvest of eternal life with God because we believe what God has promised in Christ. If we so to our flesh, let sin reign in our lives, live according to this world and our own sinful desires we will reap death- separation from God.
          So in fact this never dying thing is what God offers and he is the originator of eternal life even being something possible.
