Were Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the grave by Exodus 3?

[Daniel Marsh]

Mark 12:26-27Good News Translation (GNT)
26 Now, as for the dead being raised: haven't you ever read in the Book of Moses the passage about the burning bush? There it is written that God said to Moses, ‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’ 27 He is the God of the living, not of the dead. You are completely wrong!”

Were Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the grave by Exodus 3?

Yes. They all died in Genesis
Death of Abraham: Gen. 25:8
Death of Issac: Gen. 35:29
Death of Jacob: Gen. 49:33

 

[Daniel Marsh]

Thus they had to be alive in spirit when Jesus said that.

Ok...it seemed like you were asking a question in the first post. I don't disagree with you, but I don't understand the point of your first post if you already knew the answer.
