But he's not big enough to be master of time when it comes to our prayers for the dearly departed.

Dave, Dave, Dave:)....It's not a matter of God's power. It is a matter of Man's power. God did put man in the constraits of a time frame. We have to mak a choice for God within the time frame of our physical life on earth. Once that is over no amount of prayers will change the choices we make.

Do you understand this concept and just don't agree, or do you not understand?

We've gone over this a million times, Becky. You know what I believe. That we are in no position to judge what a person did or did not do in his dying moments.

If there is hope that someone may have chosen to believe in Christ before his death, then we can pray that God maed/makes/will make it so.

Where there is still hope, there should be prayer for the hope to come true.

God is not constrained by time, and neither is our imagination and compassion.
