You know good and well that Prottys mean that the person has died to this time/space dimension—not eternally dead-cease-to-exist. You KNOW that. We KNOW that. What’s with this absurdity?

How would I know what prottys mean? That would be mind reading, as you are doing in this post.

I believe the saints are alive. I do not see that Christ our Lord has prohibited us from asking for their intercession. I believe God is the Author of the time/space continuum and is above and beyond it. That is not absurd, unless you think God is absurd.

Everyone who has ever lived is alive somewhere, either heaven or hell.

But if they have died in their physical bodies and are no longer on this planet, we are forbidden to contact them.

We are to pray FOR each other, not TO each other. And there is nothing in Scripture to justify the practice of conferring sainthood on people as if any of them are more special than any of us. We are not to be respecters of persons.

Then, by all means, carry on.

It gives the lurkers great cause to shake their heads at the absurd obtuseness.
