Would you live forever? If not, what age would be a good age to pass on?

Question:

I do beleive in heaven, but, I am talking about on earth. I wouldn't want to, but I think 300-400 years is a good range of life that way you have time to do alot and the people who are in charge of things can either get better at what they do or have four or five careers, the possibilities are endless!!! There is only a handful of people that live a century, could you imagine 3 or 4!!!

Answers:
Watching people go from late 60s to 80s or 90s or more, as things are now, makes it hard to imagine living 300-400 years, as in your example. We have to figure a context. Take the corruption of bodies coming back to life that Hollywood gives us, rather than the image of perfect health some might assume in the Biblical accounts, others assume grotesquely decayed and gruesomely decomposed bodies. If that is resurrection, such as Jesus promised, most of us want nothing of it. Context matters. So would I be living at age 300 as an apparent 30-year old or something 3 times as bad as the decrepit 90-year old in a resthome? I think I'll check in this body at some appropriate time, 70s or 80s will work for me, if I live so long, and then pick up with whatever God has prepared afterwards. In 2 Corinthians 5, it says if this tent is dissolved/destroyed (depending on your translation), then there is another which God gives for us to live in. I'm sure it will be great whatever it is and I'm sure, as C. S. Lewis observed, at some point in heaven's eternity it will have seemed like we have always been in heaven (or hell) and the time of our mortal lives will have been a long, long distant memory, if we remember it at all.

I'd want to live forever.

Woa that's pretty long. I wouldn't live forever, only if everybody lives forever with me and only if the world is great place to live in.

Living forever gets my vote!!!

Once I start pissing myself, it's time to throw in the towel. I'm guessing that age will be about 75-80. I wouldn't want to live forever, even if I could without age. Can you imagine seeing everyone die before you? It would be awful. Life is unfair as it is, don't want to be here longer than I have to.

I'd love to live forever provided that I had my health, and all my loved ones lived forever as well. Imagine the things that would be commonplace in 500 years!

I wouldn´t live forever because I would get bored of life and every person I would care about would die and I would stay here with no purpose and unhappy...I think the 90´s would be a nice age and no longer because after that age you depend on someone to take care of you to do anything
