huh?
where does the bible suggest that paul will "live on"?

And are you suggesting that everyone whos death is not mentioned is still
alive? then where is Peter? John? Andrew? Philip? Are you telling us that
the
whole lot of them are still alive and wandering around somewhere eating
donuts
and having a good old time at the ripe age of 1960 some years?

> Why subject a serious question to stupid ridicule?

it isnt the ridicule thats stupid but the suggestion that these guys are
still
hanging around somewhere. theres a saying amongst teachers that "there are
no
stupid questions". this is folly. of course there are stupid questions- and
there are profoundly stupid comments as well. to wit- that paul is still
alive.

i am afraid that you are totally unaware of scholarship- at least on this
point.

you might be well served to pick up a book on logic and read the chapter on
the
fallacy of the argument from silence.
