Fun read. My birthday is tomorrow, so I needed a smile. I'm going to be 52 and often feel 72.

Jesus said there would be a resurrection of the unrighteous and the righteous when Gods kingdom rules the earth.

His saying puts to rest man has an immortal soul.If man had an immortal soul there would be NO need for a resurrrection.

It goes back to what God told Adam at death.He would go back to dust.Dust isnt life.
