Oh my! What a thought:')

I know you don't believe in the resurrection but what do you see in scripture about this?

I believe in some kind of resurrection? I believe God can bring life to the dead. Eziekiel speaks of a valley of dry bones that come to life. Revelation is the product of numberous intertestamental apocalyptic writings with some additions. Hebrew scriptures refer to "end of days" from time to time. The Hebrew mindset isn't focused much apocalyptically. They try and focus on making this world better by "mitzvot" obeying Torah and performing good deeds which may gradually "repair the world" so to speak. Whereas the Christian mindset has this earth about to fold up like a scroll and the people in it hopelessly lost unless they choose "salvation". This view lends itself to greater "awareness" apocalypitcally.
