If St. Timothy is to pray intercession while alive what is to stop him in Heaven?-annietooquick

1 Timothy 5: 23 Stop drinking only water, and use a little wine because of your stomach and your frequent illnesses.

I do not hold that believers are not conscious after death, but that they are with the Lord. However, that they even know the details of what is going on in the life of believers on earth is speculation at best, much less that it is Scriptural to address prayers to them.

But for Rome, Scripture is a 2nd or 3rd class (as in this case) authority and superfluous as the sure basis for doctrine. Thus it is not surprising that some of her apologists often evidence they feel free to compel it to support their object of faith and devotion (Rome), in their cultic compulsion to defend her. Sad but too often too evident.

Saints are not dead (Christianity 101).
