Why, in my view, “not from God?”

Because as I explained in my previous post, in Adam’s fall, we sinned all. We are all condemned to death. God makes this clear from the beginning. He never pretends otherwise.

He further explains that He has made a way out for us, in the person and work of Jesus.

So, we die. In the womb; in our hospital beds; in our cars; on the battlefield; behind the cash register; falling down the stairs, wherever, we die. Just like God said we would.

Yet, in Christ, we live. Just like God said we would.

You seem to be more focused on the truly tragic and horrible fact of death, which can indeed be overwhelming, and not on the extraordinary way God dealt with our condition by providing us a Savior, resurrection, reconciliation, eternal life.
