god of the living not dead ~ Cross reference of Luke 20:37 to Exodus 3:6

Jesus uses the incident of Moses and the burning bush to say that god is the god of the living and not dead. Tanakh teaches that when G-d is referred to being the G-d of that person, it always when the person is dead.

Yes G-d is the G-d of the living but does not mean he will forget the dead. He will raise the dead one day and they too will worship the ONE TRUE G-D of the universe. Not sure why Jesus uses Exodus 3:6 to make this point when at that time the three patriarchs were dead and there is no mention of them being resurrected.

This post is not intended to offend anyone's faith but for those people who are Seeking the truth of THE ONE TRUE G-D of the universe to who we owe all our love, gratitude & devotion.

My encouragement to you is that you read the whole chapter of Tanakh that the Greek text quotes so you get the context and understand what G-d actually said.

G-d Bless and Seek THE Truth.

Luke 20:37 But in the account of the burning bush, even Moses showed that the dead rise, for he calls the Lord ‘the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’[b] 38 He is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for to him all are alive.”

Exodus 3:6 And He said, "I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob." And Moses hid his face because he was afraid to look toward God.
