[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?

[Dr. Eckleburg]

Sorry, but your misunderstanding of the status of dead saints does not trump the Second Commandment.
