I want to make a clarification here that I think Campion also misunderstood. I don't deny that heavenly saints are interceding for earthly saints. That's not my objection. You better believe that when I die, I'll talk to the Holy Trinity about my family and friends remaining on earth!
The issue is rather
(a) What inter-dimensional communication channels God has left open. [And can you tell me from Scripture the authority you claim to have a precise answer on this?] and
(b) What I have repeatedly brought up and I'll now frame it this way: You and I have both cited Heb. 12:1 about being "surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses," but what does Heb. 12 go on to zero in on? "Let us fix our eyes on Jesus" (Heb. 12:2)
"Our eyes look to the Lord as servants to their masters" (Ps. 123:2).
Are our eyes "fixed" on Jesus? Are we "looking to the Lord?" Or has our gaze strayed to peripheral spirits?
You seem to be consistently opposed to intercessory prayer. Is this just for yourself or for every Christian?
Or has our gaze strayed to peripheral spirits?
Have the saints in heaven devolved to "other-dimensional" and now "peripheral spirits"? Is the body of Christ now divided with a section called "perepheral spririt"?
