You're prooftexting the Scriptures again to prove a point, Garee, and you've missed the point Jesus made to Martha!

" Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:  And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?" ~ John 11: 25-26

Believest thou this, Garee? If you do, then why have you let Dispensationalism influence you're thinking while totally denying any possibility that the Catholic Church's teaching on the Communion of Saints is correct?

God bless you

Comparing the spiritual words of Christ to the spiritual is not proof exting. Its one of the many necessary prescribed ways God has given us to study to seek after His approval. After all we know Him after His Spirit (the real presence of God) not after the flesh of the ecf's according to the law of the fathers.That would be turning things upside down, as if our Father in heaven had no understanding to offer us, in whom He is forming, according to His likeness. And not the likeness of sinful flesh as that which scripture refers to as the law of the fathers.(man's wisdom)

Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. 1 Corinthians 213-14

And of course I believe that teaching(John 11: 25-26) that confirms OSAS. And who told you I was a Dispensationalist, Had2?

I lean more towards the thread called THE THOUSAND YEAR REIGN. with the exception of your comment that we are to seek after necromancy, as if the saints that are reigning with Christ are invisible spirit entities that some worship (enquiring of worker as an invisible entity is the highest form of worship) it reserved for our Father in heaven alone. It’s the saint on earth that do reign with Christ from heaven .Its why we are called ambassadors for Christ and not them that are sleeping, waiting for the last day(the rapture) when those souls that are in heaven sleeping will be awaked at the sound of Christ’s voice the last trump and those who do remain(awake) reigning with Christ on earth will be caught up(raptured) in the air and together in the twinkling of an eye both will receive their new incorruptible bodies and therefore live forever in the new
