yes that's an easy way to avoid admitting we don't know it all, lol
if you take the words
dead alive resurrected and heaven to mean literally, and not in a religious representation you can have quite a discussion.
to me those words are representative of a belief system and are not literal.
dead... was the condition of anyone who was not observing the way of the law of Moses, or Israel
you were dead to works, dead to family and dead to their god. if you weren't a follower. so all gentiles were considered dead. [eph 2 is a good example of the word use]
alive... spiritually enlightened. following the law.
resurrected.... when you were a follower, stopped observing, then came back and followed the law.or come to know Christ, now you have been brought back from the dead.
heaven...is where you are if you are a follower of that cult and 'belonged' to the house or Israel .
most jws will deny that the whole book of psalms is songs and poems and not to be taken literal or as a future prophesy.
just a thought
