(I never claimed there was such communication...Rev. 6:11 clearly shows these departed saints DID receive communication on this matter from an omniscient God...whom I can assure you "could see" EVERYTHING "on earth" no matter where He is at!)
Allow me also to reiterate what I said in my initial post on this thread...post #777: b) I believe prayer is reserved as the Bible depicts it -- as to be directed to God alone; (c) The apostle Paul's counsel to Timothy about Jesus being the ONLY MEDIATOR is downright ignored by Catholic doctrinaires & Catholics who advocate praying to entities beyond God;
The reason I posted Rev. 6:9-11 to begin with was NOT to try to make any case that departed saints receive prayers from saints on earth...Rather, 'twas CynicalBear's clamoring in post #663: "So show me from scripture where those who passed from this life after Christ’s resurrection have an active role in what goes on here on earth.
(So I showed her)
Yet you posted the passage in response to my question about those in heaven haveing an active role in what goes on here one earth. Active would indicate that there is communication between the two. Now you admit that there was no communication between the two but only between them and God which is restricted to heaven.
