"you still haven't addressed any of my questions in post #406."

From #406

"Can you cite a single verse in the New Testament that supports this?"

To which I replied" "Matthew 18:19,"

I clearly addressed your question so don't say that I didn't.

Just because you didn't like the answer doesn't mean I didn't address it. I did.

==============================================

When I cited a verse that says the faithful in Christ are saints you responded:

"So, you believe you possess the authority to declare yourself a saint"

but then said "I'm not disputing that," even tho you just disputed it.

==========================================

You asked for "a single verse in the New Testament" because you didn't like the OT verse upthread, yet when a NT verse was provided you simply ignore that you ever asked it, falsely accuse me, deny what you had just implied, then ask for another verse.

I would be happy to provide honest answers to honest questions but enough with the games already.

NOTHING in that verse indicates that it is improper to communicate with the saints in Heaven. And what might I ask do you think of the verse that it follows?

When I cited a verse that says the faithful in Christ are saints you responded:

"So, you believe you possess the authority to declare yourself a saint"

Actually, that IS NOT what I wrote. This is what I wrote:
"So, you believe you possess the authority to declare yourself a saint and at the same time you believe you can deny the ability of the saints in Heaven to pray?"

but then said "I'm not disputing that," even tho you just disputed it.

And I did not dispute it.

I asked for a New Testament verse because at the time of the Old Testament there WERE NOT any saints in Heaven. And I did not ignore your verse, I simply disagreed with your interpretation of it.

Any luck finding a verse which suggests that sainthood terminates with death?

Some folks are no more interested in honest answers than they are interested in

Biblical Truth.
