    “The living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing at all, nor do they have any more reward, because all memory of them is forgotten. Whatever your hand finds to do, do with all your might, for there is no work nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom in the Grave, where you are going.”

    Jesus resurrected a few people, also Elisha in the bible.

    Jesus raised people from the dead to show he has power over death.

    Possible?

    Nothing is known of the dead or the living. We are a species that is learning about the world. To resurrect life you become as new. We know nothing about the world not knowing the dead or the living. Seek and you will find, ask and it will be given to you. If you insist on a measure you will have it. You don't know what you want having been taught what to see. Judge not by appearances rather use right judgement. If god is a good father then he has already given what you need. Blessed those who are vigilant for when he comes he will gird himself and serve you

    Unless a man lose his life, the measure he has claimed as his, he cannot be reborn.

    To believe without doubt, is to know. If you are asking questions then you don't know.

    Faith should not morph into hubris. Doesn't look good.

    Faith is the faith there is something to see and it is necessary for the formation of perception.

    To say i believe beyond doubt that something in particular will be seen forestalls perception. It is not a functional term.

    This is why I say to believe beyond doubt is to know, to see, if you see, no reason to believe it is yet to come.

    I'm dissociating the idea that the faith required to apprehend anything is strong belief.

    Knowledge is something you recognize, shared being. Our lives are becoming familiar. We don't come and leave and take our determinations with us they are left with progeny. Our illusions never existed. The breath comes and goes from the body.

    Death is like a door knob, everybody gets a turn. Life is like a roll of toilet paper, the closer you get to the end, the faster it goes.

    There were many who witnessed Jesus raising people from the dead and it was written down in four different books of the bible. That's a lot of evidence.
