Bible Question (short): The dead know nothing ??? |
Question (full): 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?
