she can’t pray either, she’s dead. the dead in Christ rise at his return.
So Jesus Christ lied to the thief on the cross because the thief would not be with Christ in Paradise that very day but instead, he'd be dead until some later date.
Folks who call Jesus Christ a liar aren't Christian no matter what they call themselves.
Do souls die? Do souls in Heaven sit on clouds? No! Souls in Heaven worship God, and entreat Him on the behalf of others. We are many parts, but we are all one body. Whether souls on Earth or in Heaven, as children of the living God, we petition Our Lord constantly, on behalf of others. If we just die, and get planted in the ground, what happens to our souls until the 2nd coming? In your view, which isn’t Biblical, Heaven is a meaningless existence.
