18 The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me to anger. 19 Do they provoke me to anger? saith the LORD: do they not provoke themselves to the confusion of their own faces? Jeremiah 7 KJV
Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us. Romans 8:34 KJV 1st Timothy 2:5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; 1 Timothy 2:5 KJV Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. John 14:6 KJV
10 There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch, 11 Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer. Deuteronomy 18 KJV
Source: Catechism of the Catholic Church 966 "Finally the Immaculate Virgin, preserved free from all stain of original sin, when the course of her earthly life was finished, was taken up body and soul into heavenly glory, and exalted by the Lord as Queen over all things, so that she might be the more fully conformed to her Son, the Lord of lords and conqueror of sin and death." The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin is a singular participation in her Son's Resurrection and an anticipation of the resurrection of other Christians:
19 When men tell you to consult the spirits of the dead and the spiritists who whisper and mutter, shouldn’t a people consult their God instead? Why consult the dead on behalf of the living? Isaiah 8 BSB
Asking for the intercession of the men and woman who have gone before us into the Kingdom of Heaven is not the same thing as going to a medium or using an ouija board.
Revelation 8:3-4- “And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne. And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel's hand.”
I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people— for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth.
In this life. Enoch, Elijah, and Moses were translated. The dead sleep, nowhere in scripture does it say otherwise. The idea of an immortal soul which casts off it’s meat shell and floats up to heaven is Greek philosophy, not the word of God.
Clearly we shouldn’t have started with the Assumption if we’re this far apart theologically haha. Soul sleep is false teaching, the Church teaches that the departed are judged upon death and will be reunited with their bodies again at the end times.
I have to get back to wagecucking, but quickly I will demonstrate the saints in Heaven in scripture off the top of my head. In the book of Revelation the angles and 24 elders (these are saints) are seen offering prayers and incense up to God, additionally elsewhere in Revelation the martyrs ask the Lord when they will be avenged.
