Charles -- Okay, resurrection. Yes. That is definitely a Hebrew idea. But between the time of death and the time of resurrection, is the consciousness nonexistent? Here's what Jesus said on the subject:
"On that day some Sadducees (who say there is no resurrection) came to Jesus and questioned Him, asking, 'Teacher, Moses said, "If a man dies having no children, his brother as next of kin shall marry his wife, and raise up children for his brother." Now there were seven brothers with us; and the first married and died, and having no children left his wife to his brother; so also the second, and the third, down to the seventh. Las of all, the woman died. In the resurrection, therefore, whose wife of the seven will she be? For they all had married her.' But Jesus answered and said to them, 'You are mistaken, not understanding the Scriptures nor the power of God. FOr in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven. But regarding the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was spoken to you by God: "I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob"? He is not the God of the dead but of the living.'" -- Matthew 22:23-32

Hang on, Eugene. As I understand it, Christian canon says that only those who come after Jesus and accept him as lord and savior are 'saved.' Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob clearly were before the time of Christ, so if they are still 'living' (as I think you're implying), they would necessarily be in hell. Yet Christ uses them as appellations of God. If part of hell is a complete separation from God, this is a contradiction. Please clarify.
