Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire PrayingFor Dead Loved Ones?

I agree with this. As has been stated, He is the Creator of time. He is not bound by it and ......He is Omniscient.

Omniscient, Loving and not bound by time......

This is difficult for me to grasp and I cannot even speculate on the ramifications.

"Lollygag"? O my God, it is worst than I thought.

Happy_Camper,

Your movie constantly tells me the King James Bible is more accurate than ALL other Bibles. I don't accept that for a second. I am convinced beyond any doubt the New American Standard is more accurate. At the same time I am convinced anyone who uses any Bible searching for God will come to Christ. God is able to use what they have. I am reminded of a Russian who found a Bible stuck in the wall of his barn. After reading it he turned to Jesus with an open and full heart. He never heard of a King James Bible.

I was taught to only pray for the living. It's too late for the dead.

I have use language you old morons understand.

If you’ve sat in a pew for 74 years and think you can still pray people out of everlasting damnation, you’ve obviously not been listening or reading. Just been sitting there staring off into space, parrot tonguing, popping your dentures, doodling through a crossword puzzle? Thinking about green bean casserole?

All things are possible, but all things are not gonna happen. Read your Bible. Are you trolling or asking a real question?

hahahhahahha

...lollygaggin'

lmao

Pray for them.

Recon God could use the Tao Te Ching, or would that not be on your approved list?

What about what is said about it in that C&W song?

Are we talking downright scoundrel, not in the church 3 days a week, not a believing religious type?

I'm almost sure in this group we can cut some pretty fine and coarse divisions of the requirements.
If I read it correctly it was survivors "praying" for the departed, does that make a significant difference?
This oughta b an interesting thread to follow

Matters not others opinions, do as you believe.

I don't know how any of this stuff works but there have been some interesting cases of people remembering things from "past lives" that are sometimes surprisingly accurate.

Demons have memories. They can and do communicate with the living.

NO ! It’s too late for the dead. Pray for the living

In my opinion the answer is yes, your prayers will help. I'm no religious scholar and I don't want to start a debate but Orthodox believe that you should pray and venerate the grave everyday for the first 40 days because the dead are still passing over and our prayers will help them. Some Catholics believe this way too. 40 days has significance in the bible in a few circumstances, (like Lent for example) so maybe they are correct. Keep in mind that the Orthodox religion was started in the year 33 AD by the same men that walked this earth with Christ himself, which is why I am inclined to believe them. ALL other religions started way later, which to me gives them less credit so to speak, and in my opinion only.

Also, in my opinion, if you have lost someone, why not pray? Praying is never a waste of time. It may help them and it may help you, but I can't imagine that it would ever hurt a thing.

I hope this helps you in some way.

bob

"orthodox" who ?

Orthodox Jew,

Orthodox Catholic,

Orthodox..... Greek Orthodox

Orthodox...... ? ?

Sorry, I should have specified. I was referring to Serbian Orthodox. From what I have been told, it is closest to Macedonian Orthodox.

Bob, my only point IS, all orthodox don't believe the same things.

I understand... My only point to the OP was similar in that all religions believe a little different and one of the oldest Christian religions believes that it can absolutely make a difference, so why not pray, it sure can't hurt.
