Well they do have magic powers if they can pray for you after they are dead. The story of the rich man shows that the dead can do nothing for the living.

The story of the rich man shows that the dead can not go back and warn the living. It says nothing about not being able to pray, especially to pray for others' needs.

You are saying either that those in heaven can not pray, or those in heaven do not care about other, earthly, Christians.

Doesn't the story really say that the dead could do something but man being stubborn that if Christ's death doesn't do it, a sign from the dead won't do it.

Also, doesn't the story illustrate that the dead still have concern for their living brethern?
