Mark 12
[18] Then come unto him the Sadducees, which say there is no resurrection; and they asked him, saying,
[19] Master, Moses wrote unto us, If a man's brother die, and leave his wife behind him, and leave no children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
[20] Now there were seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and dying left no seed.
[21] And the second took her, and died, neither left he any seed: and the third likewise.
[22] And the seven had her, and left no seed: last of all the woman died also.
[23] In the resurrection therefore, when they shall rise, whose wife shall she be of them? for the seven had her to wife.
[24] And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God?
[25] For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven.
[26] And as touching the dead, that they rise: have ye not read in the book of Moses, how in the bush God spake unto him, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?
[27] He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living: ye therefore do greatly err.
Christ was showing the people what Life is, but up to today people don't Iverstand. The dead don't rise, but remain under ground. The chosen people will "rise from the dead" meaning that the Living will rise away from the dead when the resurrection comes. That is why Christ said:
----------------------------------
[26] And as touching the dead, that they rise: have ye not read in the book of Moses, how in the bush God spake unto him, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?
[27] He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living: ye therefore do greatly err.
----------------------------------
Jah is not the God of the dead, Jah is God of the Living. And the reason that God is the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, is because they Itinued their life and had children, and their children Live even unto this day.
And for those that still can't see this, look at it scientifically. An amoeba (one celled organism) Lives by separating into two cells, and the two cells separate into more cells. A plant Lives by renewing itself by growing and producing seeds. A Human Lives by renewing their flesh, and the way they renew their flesh is by having children.
I have been Living too long to give up I Life, so I will not give up, but will Itinue.
