The lie of Satan was ye surely shall not die

The wages of sin is death

"There shall not be found among you... an enchanter, or a witch, or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer," (Deut. 18:10-11).

Can the dead hear you?

Ecclesiastes 9:

5 For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not anything, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten.

6 Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now perished; neither have they any more a portion for ever in any thing that is done under the sun.

10 Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.

Job 14:

21 His sons come to honour, and he knoweth it not; and they are brought low, but he perceiveth it not of them.

Job 7:

9 As the cloud is consumed and vanisheth away: so he that goeth down to the grave shall come up no more.

10 He shall return no more to his house, neither shall his place know him any more.

Ecclesiastes 3:

22 Wherefore I perceive that there is nothing better, than that a man should rejoice in his own works; for that is his portion: for who shall bring him to see what shall be after him?

Psalms 146:

4 His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.

Isaiah 26:

26: 14 They are dead, they shall not live; they are deceased, they shall not rise: therefore hast thou visited and destroyed them, and made all their memory to perish.

Psalms 88:

12 Shall thy wonders be known in the dark? and thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?

Psalms 78:

39 For he remembered that they were but flesh; a wind that passeth away, and cometh not again.

3. Are The Dead Aware Of Anything In Hell?

Job 3:

17 There the wicked cease from troubling; and there the weary be at rest.

Psalms 13:

3 Consider and hear me, O Lord my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;

2 Peter 2:

9 The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:

Job 21:

29 Have ye not asked them that go by the way? and do ye not know their tokens,

30 That the wicked is reserved to the day of destruction? they shall be brought forth to the day of wrath.

Matthew 25:

31 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:

32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:
41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:

46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.

2 Timothy:

1 I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;

John 12:

8 He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.

Codie why pray to the dead when we are told "...All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth." Matthew 28:18

And we are told there is only one mediator between God and man

Are the saints omnipresent?
