“The saints in heaven are not dead. They are fully alive,.”
I am aware of that, and God calls them both dead, and living. So it is true to say they are dead, and it is true to say they are living.
When I say they are dead, I mean, dead as defined by Scripture. No real reason for either of us to make hash of it.
I am NOT aware of what kind of BODIES these saints have; since the Scriptures are clear that Flesh ansd Blood will NOT inherit the Kingdom of GOD.
