Hi, I have a question for those of you who pray to or thorough people who are physically dead.
I have read enough to know that you think they are not dead, but still, they are physically dead and I don't know what else you call them. Do you have another term for them if you don't call them dead? (No offense intended, I just have no idea what you call physically dead people since I have seen on many threads that many people insist they are not dead.)
I also have seen replies that to you it is like asking another living person to pray for you.
What I want to know is, do these physically dead people reply or respond to you? How do you know they hear your prayers?
If I speak to a living person and ask them to pray for something, they answer me and so I know they have heard my request and will join me in prayer.
When I pray to God, I touch Him in my spirit and I know that He is hearing my prayers because I can contact Him because He is God. I have a response from Him. He witnesses with my spirit.
So, if you pray to people who are not physically alive, do they talk or respond to you?
I do not mean to offend anyone's beliefs by this question, but I have been thinking about it since I have read so many threads on here about people praying to people who are not physically alive and I have been wondering why you would want to do that since you can pray directly to God and the answer that I have seen is that it is like asking living people to pray, but with living people there is a response involved.
So, I am still trying to figure out why people would do that.
Thank you for your kind and considerate responses in advance.
