Bible Question (short): The dead know nothing?... |
Question (full): Thanks Doc. That leads me to my next question... The Bible says: "the dead know nothing" (Ecc 9:5). Is our conclusion here then, that those who were ressurected had no conscious memory of their spirits having been in Heaven? We know that Paul had a memory of having been "caught up into Paradise" (in 2 Cor 12:4). When we die and our spirits go to Heaven, while we are awaiting the ressurrection, (those of us who are saved of course!), do our spirits not have conscious knowledge of our lives on earth? |
