41 | What would make this allogory? | 1 John 3:2 | bibleman12 | 214107 | ||
Hi John, Thank you for your reply. I don't think I understand what you are saying. Are you saying that when John said he saw souls... that for me to say a soul can be seen is subjective? How can saying what the Bible says be subjective? Am I missing something here? |

Hi John, Thanks for your clarification. I would agree with you that the Revelation 6:9-11 passage is literal. I do not see any reason within the text that would call for it to be understood any other way. And in regard to souls having faces. John said he "saw" "under the altar the souls." So without doubt souls can be seen - that is if John was telling the truth and I of course believe that he was. In the next verse 10 John said "they cried with a loud voice, saying,..." Well since humans on earth speak through their mouth on their face and since these were souls of humans who had died for the Lord then I see no reason why they would not have had faces. I mean after all where else would their mouth be? On their feet? On their legs? On their arms? Most likely their mouth would have been on their face! Wouldn't you agree? |

Hi John, Revelation 6:9 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: 10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? 11 And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled. What would make this account of what John said he saw allegory? |

44 | Can one pray after his/her death? | 1 John 3:2 | bibleman12 | 214085 | ||
Thanks Val, I agree that this type of prayer would be VERY displeasing to God. But that be as it may it is still prayer prayed by the worshipers of Baal. |

Sure, Notice this passage where men prayed unto Baal. 1 Kings 18:26 And they took the bullock which was given them, and they dressed it, and called on the name of Baal from morning even until noon, saying, O Baal, hear us. But there was no voice, nor any that answered. And they leaped upon the altar which was made. 27 And it came to pass at noon, that Elijah mocked them, and said, Cry aloud: for he is a god; either he is talking, or he is pursuing, or he is in a journey, or peradventure he sleepeth, and must be awaked. 28 And they cried aloud, and cut themselves after their manner with knives and lancets, till the blood gushed out upon them. Didn't do them much good but they did in fact pray. |

Hi John, Thanks for your reply I disagree... Prayer may be made to God and to men or even to devils. Now it would not be a Christian prayer to anyone other than to the Father God, but still prayer could be made to others. |

Yes one can pray after death. The rich man died and prayed after his death. Luke 16:22 And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; 23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. 24 And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. |
