They’re in Heaven. And human beings can be higher than the angels, which is exactly what annoyed Satan.
But I’m not sure what point you are making.
“They’re in Heaven. And human beings can be higher than the angels, which is exactly what annoyed Satan.”
The scripture makes no such claim, nor does it claim that human beings will ever share in the divine attributes. These claims are blasphemous. That’s the point.
To some, you’d think we go to visit the witch of Endor to get info from the dead.
You’ll hear the great cloud of witnesses were OT or people down here.
You’ll hear the bowls of incense in Rev. 5 when the prayers of the saints are offered are just praise, or in Rev. 8 when offering up the prayers of ALL God’s people, it’s just the live ones. Let’s not talk about the souls under the altar that speak to the Lord in Rev. 6 (after the breaking of the fifth seal); I guess that will only happen at the end... Jerome’s mis-translation, yada, yada.
You may even be told Jesus didn’t really confer with Moses and Elijah... it was just a literary device.
I guess next I will not be able to ask you or other brothers and sisters to pray for me... because that would be interceding for me.
But then again, when you choose to take out the apocrypha (as well as other books), you miss out.
Forgive me for the snark, i’m getting old and grouchy... one thing of many I have to work on. As St. Phillip Neri would say, it’s just God giving me more opportunities to practice patience.
