1 | The dead know nothing ??? | Eccl 9:5 | Emmy | 118659 | ||
Hi: There seem to be no unanswered question on the forum at present. This is a question I asked earlier, but I never found an answer to it. Is there anyone out there willing to try. This passage says that the dead know nothing. It cannot be taken out of context of the rest of the scriptures. Some have said that other passages contradict this statement "The dead know nothing". Any statement contradicting the above, would mean "the dead know something". Can anyone showe me how the statement "the dead know nothing can be interpreted that the dead know something? Sincerely Henry and Emmy |

2 | The dead know nothing ??? | Eccl 9:5 | Fletch | 118661 | ||
I can't claim to know the answer to your question, but I opened my bible and for that statement it refers me to another in Job 14:21 which says "His sons come to honor, and he does not know it." The statement it refers to is the "he does not know it." What I get from this is that "the dead know nothing" is referring to awareness. Others can probably help more, but I hope maybe this helps a little. Brother in Christ, Rex |

4 | The dead know nothing ??? | Eccl 9:5 | Fletch | 118671 | ||
Yes, that is what I mean, such as, someone who is asleep. Maybe that is why when the apostles refer to the dead they say that they have fallen asleep. |
