Exactly.
Jesus specifically described Abraham, David, etc., as “living.” “God is God of the living, not the dead.”
Yet, flying in the face of what Jesus taught, people frequently describe Mary as “DEAD.” They capitalize it and use exclamation points.
John 11:11-12
11 These things he said; and after that he said to them: Lazarus our friend sleepeth; but I go that I may awake him out of sleep.
12 His disciples therefore said: Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well.
13 But Jesus spoke of his death; and they thought that he spoke of the repose of sleep.
14 Then therefore Jesus said to them plainly: Lazarus is dead.
Yet, flying in the face of what Jesus taught, people frequently describe Mary as “DEAD.” They capitalize it and use exclamation points.
Yup; Mary is dead all right.
