[Dr. Eckleburg]

Nothing in Scripture says dead saints hear our prayers. We are, however, warned against praying to anyone but the Triune God.

I doubt God is as easily misdirected as RC apologists hope others are. RCs seem to think this disagreement is of small concern. God thought enough about this grave sin to name it as His 2nd Commandment.

No one can say RCs haven't been cautioned against the idolatry they practice with such strange pride and resolve.

[Hieronymus]

Nothing in Scripture says dead saints hear our prayers.

The point of the passage is that they are not dead, at least according to the commentator. Given that the commentary is also generally recognized as scripture (unless you are Jewish), I would suggest that Scripture does require ceasing to use the adjective “dead”—in fact, it would seem that they are probably more alive than we.

Given that they are not dead, do you think that God keeps them more isolated than some one who doesn’t even have high speed?
