And you thought that answered my question? Seriously? May I remind you that not only was Jesus already in His glorified body (which the apostles were not) but He was also God. Not once in all of scripture is communication with departed souls condoned.
Where is Jesus quoted to say ‘do as I say, but not as I do.” in scripture.
The Apostles were certainly present, why would they be present for such a conversation but not be permitted to emulate the behavior of Christ in this regard?
