To Die...Or Not to Die? That is the question.

My apologies. I misinterpreted your equating what I said as sounding similar to what a gnostic said as being pejorative. Seeing as how most look upon gnosticism as being a bad thing.

And in what way does what you just said invalidate or prove my point wrong.

And in what way does what I just said, cause you to presume that I am trying to invalidate your point or prove you wrong?

And in what way does a mere remark indicate that I am trying to draw attention away from the main issue?

Discuss it all you want! If I had intended to discredit your position, I would have done so.

psychohmike is Paul talking about the same thing Jesus was talking about in this passage?

Mat 22:23 On that day {some} Sadducees (who say there is no resurrection) came to Jesus and questioned Him,

Mat 22:24 asking, "Teacher, Moses said, 'IF A MAN DIES HAVING NO CHILDREN, HIS BROTHER AS NEXT OF KIN SHALL MARRY HIS WIFE, AND RAISE UP CHILDREN FOR HIS BROTHER.'

Mat 22:25 "Now there were seven brothers with us; and the first married and died, and having no children left his wife to his brother;

Mat 22:26 so also the second, and the third, down to the seventh.

Mat 22:27 "Last of all, the woman died.

Mat 22:28 "In the resurrection, therefore, whose wife of the seven will she be? For they all had {married} her."

Mat 22:29 But Jesus answered and said to them,"You are mistaken, not understanding the Scriptures nor the power of God.

Mat 22:30 "For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven.

Mat 22:31 "But regarding the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was spoken to you by God:

Mat 22:32 'I AM THE GOD OF ABRAHAM, AND THE GOD OF ISAAC, AND THE GOD OF JACOB'? He is not the God of the dead but of the living."

Mat 22:33 When the crowds heard {this,} they were astonished at His teaching.

I guess I really don't understand your question. Maybe you could be a little more explicit or ask it a different way.
