Amazing. You are making my point. How is this my confusion?
How am I making your point?
What were your questions?
1. Were those three Patriarchs human at that time Jesus spoke? Yes or no.
2. Were they physical at that time that Jesus spoke? Yes or no.
In post #7 you said this
"Being human does not require being physical. When a person dies he still has his soul. He is still human. That was the point in the article. When Jesus referred to the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob they were still human and alive though, at that time, with no physical bodies."
I wrote this
"They had been human when they were alive but would not be considered as presently human at the time of Jesus. To be considered human requires a combination of biological & cognitive states. A state of self-awareness. A corpse does not have these."
So again I ask, how am I making your point?
