@catholicanswers: How can Catholics say the saints pray for us when the Bible says the dead know nothing?? #catholic #christian #catholicchurch #catholictok #protestant

Psycho Ward :

Catholics put Jesus equal to saints.

ES :

So if the saints can hear prayers from all over the world, they are omniscient like God?

nurhjj76 :

Christ promises eternal life to the faithful. They aren't dead. They have gone on to eternal life.

Epi5mgbols❌ :

I love how catholics use revelation to say there are saints in heaven. they dont realize or understand that revelation is a vision of a time to come (the future) that happen after harpazo.

Aidan :

the wages of sin is death, those who follow Christ gain eternal life..

Robert Sams891 :

there is no verse in the Bible that teachs that the dead can hear your prayers, nor that the dead can intercede on your behalf. neither verse you mentioned proves that.

Freddead :

No saints are alive in heaven and if they were they were not granted a heavenly body . The saints hold no Godly powers to hear every one and understand all languages

here we go :

This kind of crap makes my head hurt

Wolf :

Doesn’t change my mind and I’m never praying to dead people even if you guys like to say oh they’re alive with Christ that doesn’t change the fact that they’re dead, especially from this earth so yes, I’m gonna pray to Jesus because he hears me and can answer my prayers. He has the authority and the power to do that

MAV8 :

The passages shown are referring to God's council, not the saints. This guy is making all sorts of reaches and assumptions with no basis. 😏

Calin0077 :

How do we know the souls are in heaven ?? Arent they supposed to go thru judgement before entering heaven ?? And the judgement will happen when Jesus returns ?? It that were the grinding of teeth will happen ? Why are we skipping all the process ???

JRichmond.24 :

Praying to the Saints in Heaven is simply asking them to pray for you/your request, on your behalf before the direct throne of God, they are already in the favor of God & directly in front of Him. Ex: Say you want a job at a really great company, & you have a friend who works there who happens to be best friends with the owner of that company, so you ask your friend to please tell/talk to the owner & help you, saying great things of you & put in a good word for you with the owner. In this example the company is Heaven with God (the owner) & the Saints (your friend), it’s the same thing as asking your friend to speak well of you to the owner to get you in. The Saints in heaven are spiritually alive and conscious in the presence of God, rather than dead.

Paul Chavez :

As Jesus said, "The Lord's is not the Lord of the dead, but of the living."

Wooddragon07 :

Revelation 6:11 says they were giving a white rob, and told to rest a little longer. Nothing about going and receiving prayers. Also Jesus said to pray in secrecy. How is it a secret if others know? Matthew 6:6 6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

Vau 🇻🇦 :

Orrrrr it was Old Testament understanding of Death, that being Abraham’s Bosom in Sheol, which would have prevented them from fully performing the duties of what we know as a Saint today. Christ’s resurrection brought them up from Hell and brought them into Heaven either through purification or immediately (No one could know I’d assume), where they then conduct themselves as Saints as we know them to do.

jerry :

One mediator between God and man, the man Christ Jesus

ArchyGod42o :

the dead meaning those who are in the dark , those who don't believe

Matthew 6:6 [6]But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

Fred Oag🇨🇦 :

There not dead in heaven, so the dead know nothing.

FreedomFighter :

Well if you actually believe in God then you believe heaven is eternal LIFE. You’re not dead, In fact the Saints are more alive than we are. And they have direct access to God. Why wouldn’t I want them to pray for me???

Vincent✝️🎸 :

noone in to heaven but Jesus, it's judgment day one day not Judgment day everyday judging the people, they are in a waiting place

HT :

So I can’t talk with someone who isn’t here. I can’t speak to my fellow Christians who are in their bodies because they’re here. I can’t speak talk to an angel that is here and I can cast out a demon that is here. I can talk with God because he’s omnipresent but someone who is alive in heaven isn’t here.

Sinz :

Prayers of the righteous are more affective, thus saints people in the presence of god in heaven have this righteousness that we do not that is why we ask saints to pray for us. Saints are not the end of our prayers god is and saints do not act out the prayers the Holy Spirit does or works through things. u know to be canonised a saint there must be 1 confirmed miracle attested to specifically a prayer of intercession with that saint. Ones like miraculous healings. These aren’t just declared miracles out of no where and if anything have way more photographical evidance and accounts that christs resurrection itself go research catholic vindicatory miracles and if u truly thing those are not signs of god within the Catholic Church then perhaps rethink why u are Christian to begin with and not simply agnostic

Jon :

the first sentence answered it perfectly😂😂
