-Who are the living??? is it the living in body but dead in spirit, or the living in spirit??

-they will die in body, a corpse knows nothing, and a corpse is not me, the memory of them is forgotten by the bodily living, but not by the living God.
Anyways, he knew of no ever-lasting life, during solomons days there was no redemption of sin. They did not know that moses, and elisha were not dead, as shown by jesus at the transfiguration, and anyways moses and elija did not know nothing, and they have their reward of everlasting life.
Ps 88:10
10 Will You work wonders for the dead? Shall the dead arise and praise You? Selah

this is a question, not a statement. and yes Jesus did exactly this, work wonders for the dead in spirit, giving them a chance to become live again. (as he said to nicodemus, for you to see the kingdom you "must" be born again.) not his body, his spirit so that he can have a living spirit, not a dead one, that all mankind inherited from Adam.
Ps 115:17
17 The dead do not praise the LORD, nor any who go down into silence.
(NKJ)
-God is a spirit, and must be worshiped in spirit and truth.
If your spirit is not dead, how can you not worship the lord.
1 Cor 15:26
26 The last enemy that will be destroyed is death.
(NKJ)
-True, but the sting of death is out, for Jesus holds the keys of death and hell in his hands, and man bodily death is not their spiritual death.
All authority is given to christ, in heaven and earth. and the bodily death is all that's there, that is nothing my friend.
and it will be the last enemy ot be destroyed, by the resurection of the living in spirit, and after that all living in spirit are free from any sort of death whatsoever, just like adam was before he sinned.
