Bible Question:
Hi Hank, Your "good to see you again on SBf" gives me a feeling that I am among helpful friends.I convey my thanks and appreciation. You said "..there is no biblical support for praying for the dead" But it is not uncommon to see Pastors saying prayers when the coffin is being brought into the church for the funeral rites. Can you relate,please. Thanks. |
Bible Answer: Robert, two things come to mind in view of your question. (1) There are indeed traditions which preach and practice praying for the dead. (2) This doctrine and this practice are not to be found in Scipture. ...... I could expand on this, but can find no cogent reason for additional exposition. Someone else on the Forum may incline to add additional remarks. --Hank |
