Is the Longevity Community Going Against God’s Will?
I am getting very much into health and learning how to maintain the human body as well as possible. In doing so, I’ve come across influencers such as Bryan Johnson, whose goal is to live for as long as possible (he believes that death will be optional in the near future).
There are two ways for Christians to assess this. First, one might suggest that you are disrupting God’s order by living for too long and by not allowing yourself to ever die, you will not be able to get into Heaven. An opponent might say that in order to extend your life this amount, one would presumably be in good health, and thus, taking care of the temple of the Holy Spirit.
Is the longevity ideology compatible with Christian faith? I’d love to hear your thoughts!
