No you're wrong, the purpose of life is to learn about the deities, Sango, Ogun and co. Without them there is no everlasting life.

According to the Catholic doctrine, we were created to know God, Love God, serve God in this life and become partakers with God in the everlasting life

my brother this life is not even real, it's an illusion

Everything we think and feel is real are nothing but illusions and we are also an illusion....you will understand better when you sleep and dream.

The ultimate life objective is to worship the creator Allah SWT (English: God) by abiding by the Divine guidelines revealed in the Qur'an and the Tradition of the Prophet.

the greatest curse is for someone to live forever and to live forever in a palace of gold and diamonds is the peak of mental and emotional torture,even people that a talking about heaven do you think you will still retain your consiousness and awareness as a human being,most of you are just trying to see and interpret another realm using the intelligence as ham beimgs

Very well said!

Do not listen to him. He is trying to mislead you into hell. That is not the purpose of life. There is another life that is forever and ever and ever after death. We must live a purposeful life so that we do not fall to the left path after death and we go on to live forever and ever and ever. The purpose of life is much but to become the visible expression of the invincible God is the first purpose of life. The next one is for us to learn about God, His ways and His deeds and to become vessels worthy of God's divine kingdom

YOU MEAN YOUR GOD IS CAPABLE OF TORMENTING HIS CREATION,!!!!
That is the height of wickedness.

MY OWN GOD SAID LOVE YOUR ENEMIES SO HE CANNOT POSSIBLY HATE HIS OWN ENEMIES

As we sleep, wake up everyday, go to work or school, strive to make money.

Is the ultimate purpose of life making money or what is it exactly?

Making heaven..

The essence of life is to fulfill the purpose of God for our lives. We are created by God. For we are God's handiwork. Created in Christ Jesus for good works,vwhich God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them

To bring glory to Jesus…anything else is vain glory and vexation of spirit (as Solomon would say)!

I don’t agree with you seeing that the greatest reward for this very god you pointed out here is to grant men 72 virgins who was described in such a sinful dirty despicable way. If this is the highest your paradise could afford, count me off because it doesn’t worth it.. With all due respect, if Christianity had thesame reward of after life, I would have been an atheist. There is no way a righteous and holy true living God would have such disgusting reward for his redeemed people. Think twice about your faith

The essence?

If you knew everything and have everything, what will you be doing?

Play games and watch movies. But what of playing a character in your own movie?

What about playing any role on any script, or just playing old school virtual games in a holographic ensoulment?

I guess the answer is in the questions.

I THINK WE SHOULD LIVE OUR LIVES IN SUCH A EAY THAT GOD WILL FIND US WORTHY OF ETERNAL LIFE HERE ON EARTH
PSALM 37:29
ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY, THE PERSON DIES FOREVER or return to nothingness, the dust you were before you were born.

One of the purpose of life is divinity express by humanity. That is only possible if you know Jesus, when you know Christ that's when you can express him.
All things were created by God to give him pleasure. You can only live a purposeful life only If God is at the centre.

Eccl.3.11 He has made everything beautiful in its time. He also has planted eternity in men 's hearts and minds [a divinely implanted sense of a purpose working through the ages which nothing under the sun but God alone can satisfy], yet so that men cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end. (AMP)

Only God can't satisfy you and only your creator knows why you are here, not your parent, not nairaland etc

grin How many people know the Greek word Hades which is translated Hell originally was the Greek name for the whole earth? And that was cos it was initially so hot. Yet worms managed to survive in such tremendous heat and acidic conditions. So there u have it. Hell where their worms don’t die. That’s earth

There's no essence to be honest. It is meaningless and empty. We just invent purpose/beliefs/goals to justify our meaningless time here.

The sun has been rising and setting for billions of years, with utmost routineness and indifference. Mother nature is aloof; e no send any human being.

Regardless of our 'achievements' or the lack thereof, we would all fizzle out and be eventually forgotten - sooner than later - as if we never even existed in the first place.

Purpose of life is to LIVE and DIE

How u live it is ur concern. JUST LIVE AND DIE AFTER A TIME

Its a 2 side of a coin
Life is a gift from God and how we live matters to God.
Read the Bible and see what it says
