I really don't want to die soon, I am too young to die in my Earthly life. Why can't disaster and doomsday happen when I'm already old and dead. Why would God will all the poor people's Earthly lives to be destroyed? I keep hearing rumors about places like NK and nuclear war in my lifetime, I am really scared. I was never able to talk or pray to God in a long time?

I wish I didn't have to die so young as a virgin. It was my biggest fear, dying alone without a partner.

I am not going to make peace by worshiping a God who wants to take the Earthly pleasures away from me, I will NOT do it.

I don't think people are convinced about me.

Relax. The world isn't going to end anytime soon. God isn't planning to destroy the world just to keep you from having pleasures in your life. As hard as it may be for you to understand, it really isn't all about you.

But it really is. It is about EACH INDIVIDUAL and how we relate to each other that ultimately defines our relationship with (whatever name one uses, it is the SAME concept) God

You seem not to understand what the OP is complaining about. He's convinced that God wants to keep him from having any pleasures in life, and he wants 'doomsday' to wait until he's old and dead.

Again, it is not all about him.

IMO, your being dramatic. Whether or not there is a doomsday and when it will happen is not determined based on anyone's timeframe. Just live your life and plan as if you will die at 100. The last thing my grandkids needs is to support a bunch of doomsdayers that did not plan for retirement.

Why is God such a killjoy?

If you are only twenty-five or so, you have plenty of time to enjoy life.
But remember, it's what you make it, and how you take it that counts.

God does not kill people like the world may say , or an act of God the life insurance policy may say ............See Christians who have been born again in the spirit of Christ has the spiritual authority to receive all their days in the earth , were if they command this authority to God through out their lives in expectation they will receive this blessing ......But people will have to listen to God through the lead in the spirit, as pit falls in health can happen , and God will lead people over the pit falls and into victory ...............As far a nuclear bombs , Jesus has a plan for life and salvation in the earth , and God will stop this threat to happen for His plan in the earth ...

That's kinda funny to me ...because of the different takes or perspectives one can have.

Another guy might say, 'This place is not all it's cracked up to be...take me now to
The Other Side, aka Home or Heaven, where it's SO great! You can fly around,
think something and manifest it...
Get me outta this dense 3rd dimension..."

Are you asking why God has placed death into the creation scenario, period
(which is a much more interesting question)...
or just doomsday and dying too young?
