“No John wrote this gospel after Christ had risen and ascended.”
True! Christ said it before His Death, Burial & Resurrection and John wrote his version of the Gospel after the fact.
“There are no Saints in heaven. “
Thanks be to God, there are Saints in Heaven. They are praying for you & I as well.
“There will be no one there until after the Resurrection and judgment”
Sorry, I respectfully disagree, especially in light of Ephesians 3:14-15:
14 For this reason I kneel before the Father,
15 from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named,
Also, there is Romans 8:38-39 which suggests something different than your assertion suggests.
38 For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor present things, 9 nor future things, nor powers,
39 nor height, nor depth, 10 nor any other creature will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
So . . . where’s the Scriptures asserting
that
1. Graduated believers in Heaven are praying for us on earth?
2. Graduated believers hear us routinely; attend to us routinely; are concerned about our daily life specifics routinely, if at all?
The Romans says that the love of God can not separate us, if you truly believe that this means what you think it says then there goes your doctrine of purgatory. Since in your opinion it means nothing can separator us spiritually and physically from God and that means that everyone who dies is in heaven. Then the RCC is separating believers from God with the purgatory doctrine.
