As usual you say a lot, but you don't answer my questions. Of course the word God is a noun, and the way Job used it in verse 19:26 is as a proper noun. But why would Job use the noun God in this verse if he was talking about an angel/man that would not be known to humans until many years later?
I do not have a problem believing that people will be resurrected on earth at some point, but I also know that the Bible talks about the men of the OT being in Heaven. David talked in Psalm 23 about dwelling in the house of the Lord forever. Where is the Lord's house? In Matt. 8:11 Matthew says, "I say to you that many will come from the east and the west, and take their places at the feast with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the Kingdom of Heaven."
In John 8:56 Jesus says, "Abraham your father rejoiced greatly in the prospect of seeing my day, and he saw it and rejoiced." Abraham died hundreds of years before Jesus said this. How could Jesus say that Abraham "saw and rejoiced", if he was not conscious after his death? (Is this one of those; well, he was really talking about Abraham's ancestors. You just have to know that that is what Jesus meant??)
Also, you did not answer the second question on my previous post.
Could you also tell me why did the Jews want to stone Jesus?
