    dear Vander...

    I understand that your opinion is that the resurrection is going to be a future event until YOU say otherwise. Thank you for your input as well.

    love michelle

    "These are just two of many scriptures that state that something in man survives the physical death."

    Have you been able to consult a spirit medium to contact the soul of the dead?

    Have you been able to consult a spirit medium to contact the soul of the dead?

    Every morning, every evening.....twice on Sundays!

    Only twice on Sundays - eh? Backsliding again are we?

    Why? What do the dead know according to the Bible?

    I'd rather consult the living who know and obey the word of God thank-you.

    regarding the body who needs life...

    "For as the lightening comes from the east and flashes to the west, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.

    For wherever the carcass is, there the eagles will be gathered together.

    Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.

    Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

    And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other." matthew 24:27-31

    Yes, it all makes sense when you really think about it. ;^)

    So now to beat a seemingly dead horse...

    Regardless of literary form (historical narration, parable, parody) what valid conclusions can we come to based on this unique and unusual account?

    And, why do you think Jesus told this story?
