The life is in the Blood,
God is eternal and he created man to be enternal . If dead is the end then why do we need the resurrection?: Jesus has a a real body do you beleive that? when Jesus gave up the Spirit and died are saying HE was not exsistant anymore? and if He was then what are you trying to say? If Jesus was dead and not alive what He or ever not in the context of knowing ? or all knowing ?
What The Scripture teaches is that DEAD means DEAD. God did not create man with eternal life (or a never dying soul) because eternal life or immortality is the reward of the faithful. God kept Adam from the tree of life so that he could not eat of it and live forever. Remember?
Scripture teaches the resurrection of the dead, not of "immortal souls" existing when the body dies.
It's only the misguided who use parables like the rich man and Lazarus to guide others into the false doctrines they themselves have been misled by.
When Jesus gave up the spirit Jesus died. The spirit, in that case, refers to the breath of life which when Jesus breathed his last he died. To be dead is to be dead. Jesus took back his life when he was raised from the dead. If Jesus was not dead then he could not have been raised from the dead.
It's really sad what false doctrine has done to the minds of those who follow it.
