The practice for praying for the dead is based on the Catholic doctrine of purgatory. A quote from the Catholic encyclopedia: "We have said that there is no clear and explicit Scriptural text in favour of prayers for the dead, except the above text of II Machabees." Link to the full article: http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/04653a.htm So as others have stated, there is not Scriptural evidence that we should pray for the dead. Brad |
