Uh, your question is miscategorized\nthe metabolic process is not fire \njust because it shares a single characteristic\ninterestingly the products of hydrocarbon combustion \nare CO2 + H2O\n\nIf you get a 90% efficient furnace it will condense water in the exhaust stack

Do You Have an\nIMMORTAL SPIRIT?\n"ALL Scripture is inspired of God and beneficial for teaching, for reproving, for setting things straight, for disciplining in righteousness," wrote the apostle Paul. (2 Timothy 3:16) Yes, the Bible is a book of truth that comes from the true God, Jehovah.—Psalm 83:18.\n\nSince Jehovah is the Creator of all things, including humans, he well knows what happens to us when we die. (Hebrews 3:4; Revelation 4:11) And in his inspired Word, the Bible, he has given truthful and satisfying answers to questions about the hereafter.\nWhat Is the Spirit?\nIn the Bible, the words translated "spirit" basically mean "breath." But this implies much more than the act of breathing. The Bible writer James, for example, states: "The body without spirit is dead." (James 2:26) Hence, spirit is that which animates the body.\n\nThis animating force cannot simply be the breath, or air, moving through the lungs. Why not? Because after breathing stops, life remains in the body cells for a brief period—"for several minutes," according to The World Book Encyclopedia. For this reason, efforts at resuscitation can succeed. But once the spark of life is extinguished from the cells of the body, any efforts to restore life are futile. All the breath, or air, in the world cannot revive even one cell. The spirit, then, is the invisible life-force—the spark of life that keeps the cells and the person alive. This life-force is sustained by breathing.—Job 34:14, 15.\n\nIs that spirit active only in humans? The Bible helps us to reach a sound conclusion in this matter. Wise King Solomon acknowledged that humans and animals "all have but one spirit," and he asked: "Who is there knowing the spirit of the sons of mankind, whether it is ascending upward; and the spirit of the beast, whether it is descending downward to the earth?" (Ecclesiastes 3:19-21) So animals as well as men are spoken of as having a spirit. How can that be?\n\nThe spirit, or life-force, can be compared to the electric current that flows through a machine or an appliance. The invisible electricity may perform various functions, depending on the type of equipment it powers. For example, an electric stove can be made to generate heat, a computer to process information, and a television set to produce images and sound. Yet, the electric current never takes on the features of the equipment it activates. It remains simply a force. Similarly, the life-force does not take on any of the characteristics of the creatures it animates. It has no personality and no thinking ability. Humans and animals "have but one spirit." (Ecclesiastes 3:19) When a person dies, therefore, his spirit does not go on existing in another realm as a spirit creature.\n\nWhat, then, is the condition of the dead? And what happens to the spirit when a person dies?\n"To Dust You Will Return"\nWhen the first man, Adam, deliberately disobeyed God's command, He said to him: "In the sweat of your face you will eat bread until you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken. For dust you are and to dust you will return." (Genesis 3:19) Where was Adam before Jehovah created him from the dust? Why, he was nowhere! He simply did not exist. So when Jehovah God said that Adam would "return to the ground," he meant that Adam would die and return to the elements in the ground. Adam would not cross over to the spirit realm. At death Adam would once again be nonexistent. His punishment was death—absence of life—not a transfer to another realm.—Romans 6:23.\n\nWhat about others who have died? The condition of the dead is made clear at Ecclesiastes 9:5, 10, where we read: "The dead know nothing . . . There is no pursuit, no plan, no knowledge or intelligence, within the grave." (Moffatt) Death, therefore, is a state of nonexistence. The psalmist wrote that when a person dies,

Remember Eckankar? Remember the "protection" pray?\nBeloved I AM presence bright \nAround me seal your tube of light.\nFrom ascended master flame\nCalled for now in God's own name.\nLet it keep my temple free from all discord sent to me\nI AM calling forth violet fire to blaze and transmute all desire, keeping on in freedom's name till \nI AM one with the violet flame.\n\nAs in many religions and faiths there were "holes" in Eckankar and I moved on, but this prayer is stuck in my memory.

1.  Dancing through life, down at the Ozdust---if only because dust is what we come to!  And the strange thing:  your life could end up changing while you're dancing through!\n2.  Dance as though no one can see you, sing as though no one can hear you, love as though you have never been hurt before.  Live as though heaven is on earth.\n3.  Life is not the amount of breath you take, but the moments that take your breath away.  [Oops sorry; I was modifying my answer and I didn't copy fairy; I guess we were working on it at the same time.]\n4.  INSPIRE:  Many people have gone further than they imagined they could because somebody else thought they could.\n5.  Life is so interesting---I love talking about it!

Some Christians actually believe that burning in hell is God's idea. They have accepted a perversion of the scriptures without ever wondering if the translations have been mis-translated.I have been a Christian 32 years and this year I actually researched the horrible untruth "Hell." The Holy Spirit will bring us into more and more truth and expose lies and false doctrines.As with lots of Christian stuff we forget parts of the Bible whilst emphasising others. This gospel is good news! I believe all die. All rise from the grave when Jesus returns and everyones life is opened up and bare before God.. Those who have a relationship with God are resurrected and receive new bodies that will never die. And those who have decided to ignore salvation and deliberately continue to do wrong things are forever lost. Unbelievers simply pass from existence. They perish. The dead know nothing. Jesus and God would never punish forever with unquenchable fire and torment. That's a pagan, heathan, wicked perversion. However upon saying that it is very hard to change your beliefs. Especially when people go years believing a doctrine and millions of others disagree and threaten curses etc.upon those who declare hell is a false doctrine. Little by little people will come to know the truth and be set free. Seek the truth and you will find it.

Revelations 20:11-15\n"Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. Earth and sky fled from his presence, and there was no place for them. And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books. The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to what he had done. Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death. If anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire."

I think that's the point...the water would burn if it was holy and burning the demon w/out the demon knowing is proof that it's holy

Yes your name can be written in the book of life.\n\nThe lake of fire is the second death, death of soul. Worse than non-existense, all memory of you is passed away.\n\nRev 21:4  And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

May I have an incense recipe?  I don't think you would consider me pagan.  I don't know what to consider myself.  I usually answer all of the Mormon questions because I am close to some members of the church and I don't like to see it talked about so terribly (which happens A LOT here).  Other than that, just wantin' some incense ;-)

Philosophy:\nWater is the elixir of life.\nWhile Fire is the begining (of pain & struggle).\n\nScience:\nFor Fire to happen u need Source, Fuel and Heat as described in a Fire triangle.\nWater removes the heat whereby the triangle is incomplete and Fire is extinguished.

Good point.\nBTW - is that "holy terror" name of yours suppose to have some hidden meaning?

Ecclesiastes 9:5, 10\n\nI guess the whole hell fire torture thing is a big lie. Not that God would ever do such a thing anway.\n\nOther scriptures such as John 11:11-14 show that death is like a deep sleep. Church leaders teach that a person who dies immediately goes to heaven or hell. This however is not true. In order to live again, a person has to be resurrected (brought back to life). The Bible teaches "ashes to ashes, dust to dust", not "ashes to hell fire, dust to hell fire". - Genesis 3:19\n\nThe Bible states that "the wages sin pays is death" not "the wages sin pays is eternal torment" (Romans 6:23). Death is the absence of life. If a person where to be tortured in hell fire, wouldn't they have to be alive to know what was going on?\n\nSo as Ecclesiastes 9:5, 10 correctly states, those who have died are unconscious entirely. They are in a deep sleep, awaiting a resurrection back to life. If the soul was immortal would they need a resurrection? Instead, we rely on God for eternal life.\n\nWhen the Bible speaks of hell, it is actually referring to the place where a person is layed to rest (see Jonah 2:2 where Jonah refers to the belly of the fish as 'hell'). Many Bible translations translate the word hell as 'grave' and 'pit' also.\n\nI hope all this was helpful to you. Here are other scriptures that you may find useful:\nPsalm 146:4\nJob 14:10\nEcclesiastes 3:20

WoW! Interesting and deep questions...\nI would get on my knees and pray, but not just on my last day; praying everyday is a good thing.\nI would accept it being my last day, because what ever is God's will is fine...and I do believe there is a better life after this earthly, physical life. As for fearing death, I'm pretty sure I would, but again, there is something greater to look forward to, and God says that this life is nothing compared to the afterlife. So...I do believe in Heaven, but not the "mythical" sitting around on a cloud thing that some of us learned in some churches. I believe Heaven to be as you said, "to see the face of God" and Jesus Christ"...and much more than that. Those chosen to be in God's government, ( as opposed to these corrupt, worldly governments that exist now, will be wiped away, along with all the misery and suffering!) will help set up a fair and right government, which keeps God's laws, ( not all these man made B.S. laws!) This new system of living will allow people to learn to live God's way, with peace and happiness. (I'm sure there will be opposition on this!) Many more wrongs of this messed up world, will be corrected...Lots of work to do! No time to just sit on a cloud!\nAs for HELL!!! I believe that, as the Bible says, it is a consuming fire, and that it serves the purpose of burning up those who will not accept God's law, after they have been taught in the future. It will be as if they never existed; so basically, we are all given the chance to learn God's ways, either in this lifetime, or in the next...amd hopefully, we'll accept it, and not be destroyed in hell! There is also the mythical "Dantes Inferno" which influences us to think of hell as an ever burning punishment...I don't believe this is true at all...God is loving and merciful, and will give us another chance to learn how to live, how to love, how to obey, how to be happy, how to live harmoniously with one another, no wars, how to worship etc.....and IF we continue to want to live, as we do now, with Satan's influence dominating this messed up world, that's it! Stick us with a fork! We're done!!!
