All Saints’ Day is a day where we remember all the Christians that came before us and followed Jesus.
Think of it like President's Day but remembering devoted Christians instead of remembering leaders of the country
I remember being a young Catholic boy and being told that on all soul’s day you could spring people out of purgatory by praying 8 Hail Marys and 8 Our Fathers.
As an 8 year old I couldn’t understand why everyone in the church wasn’t on their knees praying to empty purgatory.
Once I left the Catholic and read the Bible for myself, I realized there is only heaven or hell, and purgatory was an invention of the Catholic Church.
In the septuagint, which was the Bible that Paul used and the Bible that Jesus quoted from several times it mentions prayers for the dead..
There are various Bible verses that support this also.
1 Corinthians 3:11–15
Matthew 12:32
Revelation 21:27
Hebrews 12:14
1 Peter 1:6–7
2 Timothy 1:16–18
Matthew 5:25–26
1 Corinthians 15:29
Philippians 2:12
There are numerous writings from the second to 5th century that shows this was was the common belief of the early Christians.
I mean it's possible that you're modern interpretation of the Bible are superior to that of the early Christians, but there's really no way to know until we're dead.
The Septuagint was a translation of the Old Testament and not the New Testament. Besides that,
1 Corinthians 3:11–15
Matthew 12:32
Revelation 21:27
Hebrews 12:14
1 Peter 1:6–7
2 Timothy 1:16–18
Matthew 5:25–26
Philippians 2:12
Nothing in these verses say anything about praying for the dead. I do not know what bible you are reading from.
1 Corinthians 15:29 speaks of Baptizing for the dead which was a custom in Corinth and was used in an argument for the resurrection. I do not see it practiced anywhere else in scripture.
I popped enough for everyone... while I observe the Christian on Christian hate in the comments, once again... I love especially when their inner demonic hatred comes out, all to prove who's "right" about Jesus... it's really something. Second time in the last 48 hours by my count... Please carry on. This is my new favorite past time now...
November 1st is All Saints, November 2nd is All Souls…
Thanks I forgot to specify.
What is the first of November for those of us opposed to satanic rituals?

Thanks Fren, also 2 Maccabees 12:46: It is therefore a holy and wholesome thought to pray for the dead, that they may be loosed from sins.

SO MUCH THIS.
Catholicism is a bastardization of Biblibal teaching.
It is a corrupt religion, based on lies.
They worship idols.
And like clockwork the Catholic hater comes out.
This is so 16th century to hate papists.
You are doing the devil’s work, dividing Christians. Or maybe you aren’t even one….Your words certainly don’t sound Christian.
Why don’t you proselytize in non Christian countries? Maybe even Muslim countries? If you want to spread Christ’s message.
i've been to a Catholic church. very weird, many rituals.
not much Bible AT ALL, but idol worship galore.
confession is ridiculous, and not Bible based.
neither is purgatory.
my pastor preaches from the Bible. that is the lesson. all from, and about the Bible.
NOTHING like catholics.
i've plenty of issues with other 'christian' denominations, episcopal, 7th day, nazarene, METHODists, etc.
all are twisted versions of Christianity, sculpted to ahere to what some people THINK it should be, instead of what God's word says.
I will pray for you so you won’t have so much hate .
sorry dude, i'm not hateful.
i disagree with Catholicism.
Mary is NOT my mother, and i won't pray to her, or whatever other people the pope deems worshipful as 'saints.' that is idol worship.
My Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and God, are only worthy of praise & worship.
I never need to confess my sins to ANYONE here on earth. that priviledge is reserved for God. confessing to a preiest is not Biblical.
pointing out the fallacies of a false religion is not hateful, it is an act of love.
I just recently learned the devil's night is a Michigan term

Went to church tonight. Thank you Heavenly Father
I remember.
