A statement that bears no relation to anything in the gospels or epistles. It's just a description of "discipleship" carefully tailored to conform to the ideological position that when people die and go to heaven, they turn into doorstops, with no ability to pray for or assist their brothers and sisters on earth.
There you go again adding to my words to take away from the original message. No one becomes door stops and I didn’t say that. As a matter of fact IAW Scripture we are very busy serving our God and his Lamb. The below Scripture is from your Bible and should tell you all that you need to know.
Luke 16:26-31New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition (NRSVCE)
26 Besides all this, between you and us a great chasm has been fixed, so that those who might want to pass from here to you cannot do so, and no one can cross from there to us. 27 He said, Then, father, I beg you to send him to my fathers house 28 for I have five brothersthat he may warn them, so that they will not also come into this place of torment. 29 Abraham replied, They have Moses and the prophets; they should listen to them. 30 He said, No, father Abraham; but if someone goes to them from the dead, they will repent. 31 He said to him, If they do not listen to Moses and the prophets, neither will they be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.
