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

Fear of God could [stop St. Timothy engaging in intercession when he passes on, ]

Fear of God could [stop St. Timothy, when he passes on, to offer prayers]

Once again you provocatively insist on forcing a text to support you, and ignore the whole of what i said. Offering up golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints, is not showing saints in Heaving making personal intercession to God, even in offering up their petitions to God, much less on behalf of prayers addressed personally to them. But as the works of believers do follow them, (Rv. 14:13) Rv. 8:4 most evidentially refers to offering up prayers that had been made, as a memorial as in OT memorial offerings.

Moreover, the departed asking God about things, which they can, does not translate into them being Heavenly objects of prayer from earth, and able to hear virtually infinite prayers, which God is the only one who is shown being able to do.

This again is another redundant refutation of your repeated insolent assertions, and thus it becomes more plausible that you are intent to get as many posts as you can in order to promote your book (as long as they are not read), for which i need not take more time to provide. Do not post any more to me on this issue unless it is an apology for your sophistry.

It depends on my choice and the content of your posts. If you write something I find objectionable I have a right to comment within the rules of the forum. If you don't like posts being addressed to you, the only way to get relief is not to post anything.
