Then why does Paul call the people he writes most of his letters to saints: Eph 1:1 tothe saints which are a t Ephesus: Phip. 1:1 to the saintsin Christ Jesus which are. All thru his letters he calls saved people saints.

Canonized saints are a made up thing by the catholic church, just as praying to them is.

WHEN PEOPLE IN THE OT died they went to one of two places hell (hades) or paradise (Abraham Bosom). which were located in the same place but sepeated by a wide gulf that could not be crossed. These places are not the same places that people will spend eternity in after the 1000 yr. reign. Heaven, or the Lake of Fire. After Jesus died on the cross, he went and took the people in paradise to heaven.

You really should read your bible more.

Are you saying the only saints were the one's Paul says were saints, there were no more modern people that were capable of supreme love and goodness? And everyone needs to read their Bible more, but what's the difference? There was a hell, and no heaven, am I right?
