[Havoc]

Argue with scripture, not me. The Israelites knew Ecclessiastes 9 for thousands of years before your false doctrines came into play. If your clergy had known the truth before inventing a lie, they might have crafted a better lie to decieve with. It isn't about whether God is God of the living or the dead. God set boundaries just as he did in Eden before there was such a thing as death. It doesn't make us any less alive to have boundaries put on us, like - oh, say, not blaspheming the holy spirit. Would you make God the God of the unspeaking because man is not allowed to blaspheme the Holy Spirit. See the way it works "God didn't say x. He knows that if you do x you will be like him knowing the difference ..." This is the tact you are taking to try and skirt scripture. And your daddy is the father of it.
