She wasn't dead. Bring back somebody that's been really dead for a couple of years....It says in the Bible..."The dead know nothing..."

Hmmmm? Sometimes the Bible's references to the "dead" are about a spiritual deadness - not a physical deadness.

Romans 8:22

22For we know that all creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time.

23And even we Christians, although we have the Holy Spirit within us as a foretaste of future glory, also groan to be released from pain and suffering. We, too, wait anxiously for that day when God will give us our full rights as his children, including the new bodies he has promised us.

24Now that we are saved, we eagerly look forward to this freedom. For if you already have something, you don’t need to hope for it.

25But if we look forward to something we don’t have yet, we must wait patiently and confidently.



2 Cor 5: We grow weary in our present bodies, and we long for the day when we will put on our heavenly bodies like new clothing.

3For we will not be spirits without bodies, but we will put on new heavenly bodies.

4Our dying bodies make us groan and sigh, but it’s not that we want to die and have no bodies at all. We want to slip into our new bodies so that these dying bodies will be swallowed up by everlasting life.

5God himself has prepared us for this, and as a guarantee he has given us his Holy Spirit.

6So we are always confident, even though we know that as long as we live in these bodies we are not at home with the Lord.

7That is why we live by believing and not by seeing.

8Yes, we are fully confident, and we would rather be away from these bodies, for then we will be at home with the Lord.

9So our aim is to please him always, whether we are here in this body or away from this body.

10For we must all stand before Christ to be judged. We will each receive whatever we deserve for the good or evil we have done in our bodies.
