in various ways death is a real very serious and complex problem for humans - you get used to life and how best to live it and it suddenly gets snatched away - even if you try passing on lessons still death curtails that endeavour - you get a great teacher but then they die - you need a permanent help but God who is most suitable choice is upset with you for your blunders - you could have a mediator or priest but they die - you need a long living teacher mediator priest but even then you both die eventually and then you have to see what happens about being judged - you ideally need God to provide something eternal so you eventually learn to live but when you know the life of excellence can keep going - only a God who understands and loves and is real and eternal can help - and a mediator priest teacher needs to be just as eternal to keep that relationship with this God going forever - and death needs to be temporary - and survivable spiritually so you need the priest to have endured it - solved but a complex problem required a complex and costly solution
