Lost argument Annalex....the Apostles and Peter are not here on earth...they died a physical death and are home with the Lord.
One can "believe" the departed are accessible to us...and the enemy of men's souls delights to assist in that masquerade as it keeps Christ off His rightful throne as the only mediator between God and man. But "believing' does not mean it's reality.
There are many false assumptions made today on mans ability to speak or be enticed into the spiritual realm. But know this..whosoever attempts so is on a slippery slope that leads away from Christ...just a matter of time.
It is a scriptural reality: Christ calls them gaining life by losing it (Matthew 10:39, John 12:24-25). They are capable of rejoicing (Psalm 149:5-9, Rev 18:20). They "shall judge this world" (1 Cor 6:2, Jude 1:14). We "ask for the saints according to God" (Romans 8:27); They "lay aside every weight and sin which surrounds us" (Heb. 12:1); their prayers reach God (Rev. 5:8, 8:3f).
