In your opinion, what did Jesus see it as?
I see Christ offered the opinion.

Clarification may be needed. I see there is the possibility of more than one death.

Do not die the second death

Promises, promises and promises; not just Jesus, but every one else. However the Islamic promises are the best. 72 houris of clear eyes, both male and female, to serve you; and an unlimited supply of booze. I would not know what to do with 72 houris. Tony, does the Bahai Allah offers that? You believe in the Holy Quran.

Death is a curse, but it isnt evil. Then again a-morality can be worse than evil. Bottoms up haters.

Part of life. Neither evil nor good. You are eternal.
"avināśi tu tad viddhi, yena sarvam idaṁ tatam;
vināśam avyayasyāsya, na kaścit kartum arhati." BhagawadGota 2.17
That which pervades the entire body, know that to be indestructible. No one is able to destroy that imperishable.

I see it is your choice, since you brought it up, as to whether that is true or not.
I can offer it is not.

Now one can can consider if it is Spirit that is eternal, I see flesh disintegrates and disperses and all that forms flesh also is subject to decay.

What? That is what Allah said. It is written in Quran and you say it is not true? Toubah-Toubah.

And now we have got an endless chain of murders... Bravo.
No, now we'll have an endless chain of 'non-murderers'.
Pick up the morning news and see man's endless chain of growing murders.
Pick up the Bible's good news and see the coming end to murders.
For just as God promised father Abraham that ALL families and ALL nations of Earth will be blessed.
Blessed with the benefit of healing for earth's nations is coming.
Many people think they are Not mortal, but to me that does Not prove they are immortal.
I find what pervades the entire body is formed from the dust of the ground.
So, at death the entire person 'returns ' back to the dust of the earth.
From non-existence (No previous life) to life, and returns back to non-life (dust)
I find what we can learn form the Bible is that death is an " enemy ".
- 1 Corinthians 15:26
I find Jesus spoke of 'resurrection' back to either physical life on Earth, or some to heavenly life.
So, it is Not death that can be a messenger of joy but resurrection is.
Death is an ' enemy ' according to 1 Corinthians 15:26
There is no such thing as cosmic evil or good. At best, those are emotional descriptors to describe how we feel about something. Death is just part of the cycles of existence. The idea that it's a curse is absurd.

No previous life is not non-existence. We were what you term as, 'dust' or 'star-dust'. After death, we return to 'dust'. Even while we live, we are, so to say, 'dust' only. Hindus term this 'dust' or 'star-dust' as Brahman. Uddalaka Aruni (Chandogya Upanishad) while instructing his son, Satyaketu, on the mystery of life, said:
"Yathā Soumya, ekena mritpindena sarvam mrinmayam vijnātam syāt,
vāchārambhena vikāro nāmadheyam mritiketyeva satyam."
(My son, just as by one clod of clay all that is made of clay is known,
the difference being only the name arising from distortions of speech, the clay is the sole truth)
