Let the dead bury the dead".

annalex:
Saints are not dead.

= = = =

UHHHHH, CHRIST was the one noting that in certain contexts, a Believer should let the dead bury the dead, so to speak.

So, you seem to be saying that Christ was WRONG to have said so?

Christ was WRONG to have said so [that Believer should let the dead bury the dead]?

The dilemma was, to bury the dead or to follow Christ Who gives life. What He said was that in following Christ without delay, the dead father will be also honored (cf Lk 18:20). He did not say that the saints are dead, but rather that if one is dead, then life with Christ is more important.
