It’s called “Receiving Jesus.” The only way you’re going to make it out of here alive.

I loved the clarity here

“We will have the ability to live indefinitely.”

WELL YES! Lifespan’s are rather indefinite.... by nature.

these guys probably communicate with the TRANS HUMANIST types Im guessing.

Lifelong marriage—already on the ropes in the age of ever-lengthening lifespans—would cease to make sense.

Says who?

My life became eternal the moment I received Christ as my Savior.

"Stay alive until microscopic robots that swim through our bloodstream and physically repair our cells are invented, in 20 or so years. "

That's been my theory - some scrubbing bubbles to keep my arteries clear of buildup.

Read Hugh Howey’s “Wool” to see his vision of what bio-nano technology will bring us to.

I’ve got a better way. Take 3-D ultra-sounds of all organs.
3-D print them and replace before they wear out. Simple.

nope.

extending teleomeres doesn’t guarantee the body has theability to repair damage as fast as it goes wrong. further it doesn’t solve cancer and it doesn’t solve deaths by murder, accident, natutal disasters, suicide, poisoninbgs, drownings, being crushed, etc.
