Mind reading is not what I am doing. From previous post it is a know fact that some hold that saints in heaven have the ability to hear the prayers of the body of Christ and pass them onto God. Does Jesus have ears? As far as addressing many of the points I am only posting to those who have posted to me. Just like you now if john brown has posted something and it is not to me I don't know what he or she has said. Are you speaking for all?

On one hand you say I am lumping you all together, then you speak for everyone?

We have addressed many of the points you raise. Ignoring what we say and repeating the arguments doesn't move the argument along. Saying we believe what we don't believe doesn't move the argument along.

Good. I'm glad to be wrong then.

From [a] previous post[s?] it is a know[n?] fact that some hold that saints in heaven have the ability to hear the prayers of the body of Christ and pass them onto God.

If there is a Catholic who thinks that saints can hear without the aid of Him who made the ear and hearing, if there is a Catholic who thinks that unless St. Anthony tells God I've lost my car keys again God doesn't know it, I'd like to meet the clown and (smack him around a little.) And of course I see you've cleaned up the charge a little. There's no more whispering. It's good for folks on both sides to understand the limits of analogy and metaphor.

Does Jesus have ears? Well, absent the testimony to the contrary of those in the upper room or the later 500, I'd guess He does. I'd bet, though, that he doesn't need them to know what someone has asked a saint in heaven to pray for.

I guess I thought that since you posted the article you'd be interested in all the subsequent discussion. Sorry for assuming. In any event I do know that I responded to you early on (#8) and that my response sketched out what I thought was the argumentative terrain and I think this is the first I've heard from you.
