YOU were the one who trotted out the counting and application of time to make a point about Mary receiving prayers. I assume you believe Mary died a couple thousand years ago, so if she is receiving any prayers she must be receiving them somewhere. Since she is dead, she must therefore necessarily exist somewhere in order to receive these prayers, some “afterlife.” I assumed that you were of the belief that that “somewhere” was heaven. Hence, my question to you was simple: Is your heaven or afterlife “time” based on the 24-hour clock? Because if it is a 24-hour clock, then all who reside there are restrained and constrained by that clock.

I’m still waiting for your answer.

Your assumption is correct; the first part.

Your assumption that she MUST be 'receiving prayers' is your own.

More precisely; what your church has taught you.

Someone asked Jesus about 'time' once.

What was His reply?


Mark 13:32
"But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.

WHY would the Father even NEED to know the time; you ask?
