Dear Ray, can you please tell me why did Jesus said in Luke 8 that the little girl was not dead but sleeping? don't they mean the exact same thing? please explain.
thanks
Jim
Dear Jim: The reason is that to God people who die are no different to Him than people who are sleeping are to us. We can WAKE UP a sleeping person easily and quickly. In like manner God can WAKE UP a dead person easily and quickly just as if he were only sleeping.
God be with you,
Ray
