The richman in hell also knew that the oly way to escape hell was by listening to Moses. Even if a dead man brought back from the dead would bring the message to their living relatives. the message to his still alive relatives. (Luke 16:29-31) And Jesus proved the fallacy of the richman's views...
Atanu, what you are trying to tell me is that we all have a soul, including the irrational animals. That's not how I conveive the issue. We don't have a soul. We have become a soul for the span of time we have been given to live. According to Genesis 2:7, we have been given a soul when God...

You are not reading your NT. Christ in Greek means Messiah, and he was the one who fabricated the idea that Jesus was the Messiah and that he had resurrected . Read II Timothy 2:8. He was the one who inspired the gospel writers with the Hellenistic theme with reference to Jesus. (Acts 11:26)
