Fear of Death.

Thank you. It is bothering me that I have this fear. If I’m a good Catholic I should have no fear.

Simply trust God. Have faith and know that God is near. He has hidden His signs in His creation that we could seek them and gain knowledge of Him. Seek God’s signs and mysteries in the creation and you will gain knowledge of Him. And through this knowledge you will grow in faith and love. Death is nothing but the unveiling of the eyes that we may see to a certain degree what we have been seeking all our lives. What we seek is present to us now so if you look with faith you will see it and you will be over joyed.

well if your claiming the church wants me to believe that nature took his life

??? How do you get from “He died a natural death” to “Nature took his life?” And as a side note, I didn’t claim that the “church” wants you to believe anything–I merely stated my observation that John lived to a ripe old age before dying, unlike the rest of the Apostles, who were martyred in gruesome ways for their faith.

that one more reason not to believe in religion so i choose on my pedestal and state to believe god took johns life or the angel of death perhaps god said it was before his time not to be one to be included

God gave you the free will to make this choice. Who am I to refute your choice?

you can be deluded to believe everything religion tels you

I have no delusions—only faith and trust in God
