Catholics believes prayer can still work for those in purgatory. They believe the dead could still be pardoned by the prayers of the living 1 Like 1 Share |

Nerogaming01:Well... If it does, they win. If it doesn't, they don't lose. Religion is a practice of ultimate uncertainty. No one knows for sure what is and what is not. People just believe and hope that it is true so they win. If you do it and it is true, you win. If you do it and it is not true, you don't lose. If you don't do it and it is true, you lose. If you don't do it and it is not true, you don't lose and you don't win. The above is called Pascal's Wager. Gathering to pray for the dead before burial also renews the hope of the faithful that the church will be with them even till death. 4 Likes |

While I believe that praying may not do much for the deceased, since judgement comes right after death, I think it helps to comfort the bereaved. There’s a certain peace of mind and comfort (all marginal and short lived - the sorrow still lingers for long) that comes with doing all these prayers. I’d respect anyone who chooses to pray for their dead loved ones. You do you! |

All this things are just beliefs. Only God knws the truth, just do what is right before God while you're still here on earth. |

Righteousness2: Sounding intelligent I guess, have you ever inquired why the translator who was a Protestant never included such verses in the carried around Bible. Have you ever inquired why the Holy church fought so hard and persecuted alot of people who where trying to translate the undiluted word of God. Have you ever asked to know what Jesus told Mary all immediately after his resurrection and it was known he spent most time with her.And,where are her books? I believe you never knew Adam's and all beings before resurrection were held in shackles, reason why Jesus broke the gate of brass and tore the brass of iron into assunder just to free those who were held in hades. Do you ever know the Writtings of Saint Jerome and it's impact in the way of life the deeper life practices. A thousand and one writes up are missing and just what King James , Martin's could Lay there hands on was made publish. Left to the Catholic Church No man born of a woman , unless you are a priest and have been sanctified during the holy mass is worthy to open the Bible. Just why the priest Bow, Kiss and uphold the Bible when ever it is in his possession. You dare not Shut any one up, because it seems you one of those half baked Bible students who don't know HISTORY was coined from HIS STORY and just why people who are sound mist especially the priest takes a minimum of 8 yrs to study and understand all relevant text. I am so sure aren't conversant with the scared scriptures and the forbidden bible books as some are termed. In terms of taking the dead to the Church , the OP should have just Mentioned the Church name of which we all know it is the HOLY CATHOLIC CHURCH. The church believes in Purgatory and alot of reasons exist why they do and that's why you can hear prayer and supplications for the dead. If you aren't open minded in thinking and studying then I believe you should just walk away and you will never get to understand why such is done. Take your time read some old text not included in the 36 books of the Bible and you will get to understand why such exist. 4 Likes |

Winters23:Even the bible says that the dead are freed of their sins. "For he that is dead is freed from sin". - Romans 6:7 (KJV) A loving God will not enjoy tormenting his creatures. Only a wicked person would do that. "He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love". - 1John 4:8 (KJV) So scaring people with one imaginary fire is just to cash out from gullible people. |

Znation:My opinion is that man was created by God. Churches are houses of worship dedicated for people to meet and give thanks to God , and make their requests known to Him. Man is created by God and when he dies, he goes back to God. If when alive human beings are dedicated, baptized or wed in churches, what makes it wrong to take this person back to church when their life has ended? I don’t believe in praying for the dead to be forgiven their sins, but I do believe in gathering to give thanks to God for the life of the departed , as well as pray for the loved ones left behind. I don’t know why some believe a person can go to church when alive but it’s sin to be taken there when dead. Is the God who gives life different from the God who takes it away? |

Please do not misquote the church. The faith holds that only “The faithful departed” which means a soul who was a friend of God at his demise! will make it! Being Gods friend means obeying his word. Jahlivesforever: |
