[one Lord one faith one baptism]

gee, it will be news to the saints in heaven that they are “dead”
it will be news to the martyrs depicted in Revelation 6:10, are they “dead” as well?
i thought absent from the body, present with the Lord, but i guess they are “dead”.

And you dialog with these people? I believe that’s called necromancy, something Scripture condemns.
