How Could Jesus Be Alive And Well At The Right Hand Of The "Father" If He Died For Our Sins? The Bible Says That "the Dead Know Nothing".
There's too much about Christianity that just doesn't add up.

Jesus was wholly resurrected intact into Heaven. He is not dead : That is what Easter is.

The "dead" implies they are currently not living, so yes, they know nothing. Christ, however, is very much alive because He was resurrected.

He died as a human, not as God. Because he is both human and divine, his body died but not his soul. The same belief applies to the rest of us: Our lasting identities are our souls which live forever even after our bodies stop working.

The "dead know nothing" is only applying to what's left on earth...I mean, in the same verse it mentions that the dead "have no further reward" but we believe that we will be rewarded because Jesus died for our sins and opened up access to heaven for us.

So yes, if he remained on earth, Jesus would not have "known" anything. But he was raised from the dead and is now alive in heaven.

 So the penalty for our sin is "temporary" death?
