Didn't Jesus say God is not a god of the dead but of the living?

An Ego can die without physical death and without consciousness coming to an end. When the ego dies ... (and it's always the last to go) ... heaven is very near : )

Yes, Mat 22:32, but the Medieval Church could not bribe you with what you already have- so they made heaven on earth a living hell, and entice you to be brain dead with a paradise when you die. Much the same way that the Taliban entice suicide bombers....

Enoch did not die, he went with God, Jesus tells us in John some will never taste death,That being said I will be happy to die to be with God.

We are created being that were made to live forever.We sinned and brought judgment on the world.When we die to our flesh then we get to enjoy heaven as it was intended before the curse.We will either live in heaven or hell.you must chose to accept Jesus or reject him.

We die physically because our body is only the "package" for our soul and character. It is also symbolic in that we must die to the things of this world in order to be utterly filled with God. Death is not an end in itself....union with Christ is.

Not every one goes to heaven at revelation 7:4-14: says that only 144,000 go to heaven. And theirs further proof because when Jesus was having wine in the symbol of whoever is going to heaven has wine but in the account at Acts 2:29,34says:" Men, brothers, it is allowable to speak with freeness of speech to you concerning the family head David, was buried and his tomb is among us to this day".34:" Actually David did not ascend to the heavens, but he himself says ' Jehovah said to my Lord:" Sit at my right hand. Even though King David was a upright preacher of jehovah,he was indeed a desirable man to God, he actually did not go to heaven.But their is a class that are upright to God that will not go to heaven but they will be in paradise earth it mentions it at Psalm 37:11,29" But the meek ones themselves will possess the earth, And they will indeed find their exquisite delight in the abundance of peace." 29: " The righteous themselves will possess the earth, And they will reside forever upon it."

We are alive it's just that "flesh and blood cannot inherit the kindom of God".I Corinthians 14 and 15 explain the spiritual body and the resurrected one.

you are confusing the terms. People that appear to be alive are dead. and dead people are raised to life in baptism as the symbol of christs resurrection. IN the resurrection all people are Alive.
the people in the grave are dead and know NOTHING of God. but the spirit is eternal no matter where it is.

If we do the Will of God, we enjoy heavenly bliss right here and now. When our body decomposes and returns to dust, our soul continues to eternally enjoy the heavenly bliss in the spiritual world. Right, we are living temporarily here and eternally there.
