I understand your point, but respectfully disagree.

So far as things being specifically mentioned in the Bible, you may want to consider Deuteronomy 22:13-28.

Might I suggest that you look into the differences between Old Testament civil law given to a specific people in a specific time, and which of the theological doctrines were upheld, and which were completed/negated by Christ’s death on the cross?

Another quote, but their abbreviated Bible doesn't have it.

II Maccabees 12:43-46: "And making a gathering, he [Judas] sent twelve thousand drachms of silver to Jerusalem for sacrifice to be offered for the sins of the dead, thinking well and religiously concerning the resurrection, (For if he had not hoped that they that were slain should rise again, it would have seemed superfluous and vain to pray for the dead,) And because he considered that they who had fallen asleep with godliness, had great grace laid up for them. It is therefore a holy and wholesome thought to pray for the dead, that they may be loosed from sins."
