Originally posted by DeepThoughtAs far as i am aware it does not use that exact wording, 'in gods memory', but that 'they are living to him', meaning of course that they will be resurrected at some point on the future. This is clear from the context where Christ is being questioned by the Sadducees on the matter of the resurrection, for which they did not profess a belief.
I've read this miserable thread twice, I can find no scriptural basis quoted here for that assertion, so in what part of the Bible does it say that Abraham lives in God's memory?
But about the resurrection of the dead—have you not read what God said to you, ‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob ?' He is not the God of the dead but of the living.” - Matthew 22
For the person of discernment it becomes rather clear that such an inference can be derived directly from scripture, after all if God is to resurrect anyone then surely he must be first of all able to recall who they were in every single detail down to the last molecule, don't you think? Otherwise you will need to explain how God will in fact reconstruct (resurrect) anyone if he fails to remember them.
