How can God die? He is God. God doesn't die. God is immortal. He was always there and always will be.
What if God died?

Right. But hypothetically speaking, like I said in my first post, what if he did? How would that have affected everything?
There would absolutely be no hope. I don't think we can even fathom what it would be like. I am not sure if there would be any living thing left as darkness would have totally take over with no truth at all to fight and/or balance it. Those are my thoughts on the matter anyways.
What's your source?
I don't think there is enough info the have a meaningful discussion on God's mortality.
That cannot be answered as it is a false question. God doesn't die. Even hypothetically, no one can answer that correctly. We do not know because it never happened and never will. So you'll just get answers made up from human imagination.
My source is the Holy Quran-the word of God.What's your source?

Well, let us assume for a minute that God had died. Implications vary, depending on belief.
If, for example, you are of the opinion that God created us, and watches over us like chicken, then there would definitely be an impact on the moral fibers of many peoples, groups, to even societies.
If, for example, as Isaac Newton postulates, that God created us, and the rules of existence (physics, motion, et cetera) provide the mechanisms to keep our environment as it is, of course with modifications by all living things, but God has walked away, leaving us to our own devices, then the impact will be minimal, if any.
If you believe in the middle of those two, where God created us, but he oversees the laws of existence, then the impact will definitely be felt; maybe not as strong as the first, but definitely more than the second example.
If you believe that God never existed, then God could never die, and therefore, there just would not be an impact.
If you believe there are many different gods, with the supreme God at the top of the food chain, then the death of the supreme God would probably affect more the lower gods themselves, which would ripple slightly down to the humans.
There are many different paths to examine, and I doubt I have brushed even 1% of the possibilities; each one has some type of impact, ranging from none to a lifestyle change.
I do not have a personal opinion or belief, therefore, I cannot put forth what I think the possible implications of having God die in my lifetime.

If God died before he finished creating everything he would be rather pissed.
He might kick Saturn in anger
Poor Saturn. Jupiter gets all the attention JUST because of his stinking red eyes
He might create a hole in the ozone layer.
If God died, that's okay, cuz CB would just take over.
hey hey.....take that back! :mad
Sorry, Charlie
Wait a minute, the Holy Quran is the word of God? What about the Holy King James Bible?
(as I step back.)
Depending on who you talk to, the "word of God" can be one of MANY books...
The Bible is also a word of God. However, there have been things left out of the Bible, and things added. I.e. Muslims believe that in the Bible, God said to follow the Prophet Muhammad after the Prophet Jesus. However, Christains loved the Prophet Jesus so much, that they changed the Bible and wrote that the Prophet Jesus is God. (I'm not really sure, I might be wrong..I'll have to do more research about it)
The Bible is not changed. The Message remains the same.
Check the Dead Sea Scrolls out to see an example of the accuracy in which the Bible was written in. It is either of God's divine plans or it wasn't. So claim it or don't.
There is only one God. Muslims seem to think Christians believe in more than 1 God because they don't understand a multifaceted Lord that is spoken about all throughout scripture.
Example: God's Holy Spirit can dwell within me, in my heart, but I am not God.
In Revelations it says that we are not to add to or take away. The End.
I understand you believe differently. I respect your choice to chose.
