In the Thread on Jesus Praying I pointed out that in my view, if you are Christian and believe that you will go to heaven after death then you should not be afraid of dying but rather look forward to it.
I would be interested to know whether any Christians in this forum are afraid of Death and if so what they fear. Some posibilities:
1. Fear of the unknown.
2. Fear that they could be wrong about the existance of God.
3. Fear that they might go to Hell.
4. Fear of loosing what they have in life.

Surely only atheists should fear death. (And sinners I suppose 😀 )

Good question.

Not only atheists should fear death but according to the Bible anyone who does not trust Jesus Christ completely for salvation should also fear death.
Note John 3:16; 3:18 & 3:36; Romans 10:9,10,13.

Originally posted by twhiteheadInterestingly enough since ridding myself of Christianity I've lost my fear of death. I've come to realize that being a coward and worrying about the possibility of salvation will not change my fate one bit.
