| Feb 10, 2012 at 16:53 | comment | added | Marc Gravell | I'm saying that "listening to one thing" is a feature of living mortal humans. What I am saying is: given all the other things necessary for the question, the "one thing" is very minor, and I'm not sure there's any justification for suggesting/imposing that restriction, but accepting the others. So in answer, "yes, they do" | |
| Feb 10, 2012 at 14:07 | comment | added | brilliant | I am sorry for being "dumb" here, but would you please explain to me what do those impediments that you mentioned in your first comment actually impede? Since you said that being dead is an impediment I took it as if you meant that that impediment impeded the dead saints from being able to hear others' prayers(let alone being able to hear all of them at once, understand them, act upon each one of them accordingly, etc.). Did I interpret your words correctly here? | |
| Feb 10, 2012 at 13:19 | comment | added | brilliant | @Marc So, what's your final answer to my question then? "Yes" or "No"? - Honestly, I am a bit confused by your words. | |
| Feb 10, 2012 at 12:49 | comment | added | Marc Gravell | you have my point backwards; I'm saying that the rules being considered ("only listening to one thing", "need to be present (or use communication tools of some form)", "need to understand the language" ... "need to be alive") are rules dictated by being a living mortal human. Once that is no longer the case, removing the "only listening to one thing" is no different to all the other rules that people seem happier to discard. Your question about Moses is post-death, so again: I am saying it is meaningless to apply any mortal rules, even if we make the assumption that it happened. | |
| Feb 10, 2012 at 9:54 | comment | added | brilliant | @MarcGravell - "after small impediments like being dead" - What would you say about Mouses? On one hand, God told him that he would die - "will sleep with his fathers" (Deu. 31:16), and later he did die (Deu. 34:5), on the other hand, we see him talking to Jesus along with Elijah on the mount of transfiguration (Matthew 17:3), which is even before Jesus' death and resurrection. Does it not indicate that being dead is not an impediment? | |

| Feb 7, 2012 at 7:24 | comment | added | Marc Gravell | I'm not sure that is the typical phrasing, but that does indeed appear to be a common view of prayer; for that, see this question, which is subtly different to the one you ask here. Re "praying to the saints", that is discussed here. I believe a summary would be "petition to" rather than "pray to", but presumably it would still depend on being heard. | |

| Feb 7, 2012 at 7:11 | comment | added | brilliant | Do they really say that once a person is dead his soul can see all other people's thoughts in their minds? | |
| Feb 7, 2012 at 7:07 | comment | added | Marc Gravell | I hate to bring up the obvious, but after small impediments like being dead, and hearing you despite not being physically present, even if you are praying silently (internal voice), probably not in their native language... the issue of distinguishing multiple voices seems almost trivial. I can, however, see that time management to "act on" could be a concern - reminds me of a scene in "Bruce Almighty" | |
