Hey and how about this one?

John 3:36 states that he who believes has eternal life.

So what is eternal life if all those people in heaven are dead?

I’ve never understood the Protestant predilection for rejecting the notion of life in the dearly departed. Put another way, what *do* they think life means, if not the ability to see and hear what’s happening on Earth, just as those alive *on* Earth?

It’s quite curious. It’s kind of like an amalgam of the historical Christian teaching of “communion of Saints” and the very non-historic teaching of “soul sleep”. Very odd.
