The argument seems to be from the OT as though Christ never happened, death never defeated, the dead know nothing, etc.
Of course somewhere close by will be the same posters proclaiming whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life, etc.
Oh well..
Oh the dead knew something in the Old Testament. The poor guy just wanted a drop of water on his tongue and to warn those not yet dead, remember. Would you say that has also changed?
