The Bible describes Saints as those who alive in Christ Jesus. The Catholic Saints (have died) Christopher, Theresa, Augustine, Jude etc; Mary is also dead. Their bodies are in preservation. Actual Holy men like Elijah were swept uo as Jesus was and their bodies were not left here to see decay. I believe that the books in the Holy Bible are all canonized (divinely inspired) where the other books (historically accurate) are not divinely inspired. I learned this via an old pastor of mine who preached non denomination yet he is Jewish and a historian of Israel. Those I ask for prayer are alive.
I appreciate your comment, but by this explanation then our God is the God of the dead?
If a person were to make it to Heaven, how could he/she be dead? Saints are Holy people, not by their own merit but but by God’s grace.
We might also guess Saints are in Heaven United with Christ.
Christ died for us, but conquered death and is risen. Jesus also commanded us in John 6 to eat His flesh and drink His blood else we would have no life within us. By accepting, we would be resurrected on the last day.
I couldn’t agree that saints, including Augustine or Mary are dead
My point is that God alone is to be prayed to. He doesn’t want us going through other avenues to reach Him. This is why He sent Jesus to be born, die for our sins and raise again. I see this conversation is inly going in circles and we have differing beliefs. That is up to you to keep or change, not me. I do not pray to anyone but God and Jesus is a part of God.
In order for this to happen, John 6:54
