I totally disagree. He was asked about resurrection, yes, but let them know also that Abraham was alive. Departed from the world, but present with God. Jesus flatly stated that abraham is alive. God s not God of those who will be alive, but of those who are alive. This is what Paul says about resurrecting also. Absence from body.. Dead from our perspective.. but with Lord... Alive from his. To be rejoined to body and alive in world again.
