 So, like angels in heaven, as for the dead being raised, have you not read the book of Moses and the passage about the bush? How God told him, I am the God of Abram, Isaac, and Jacob, and the God of Jacob. He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You're greatly misled. If Jesus was not who we believe him to be, he would still be one of the most creative thinkers in the history of Judaism and Israel.
