FreedomfromtheT:

Do people's prayers really avail after death?

NO!

FreedomfromtheT:
Therefore Christ after His death and burial had to go and release the old Testament saints from Abraham's bosom into heaven. Thank you.

When did this happen?
The Bible talks of a time when all those in the memorial tombs will hear Christ's voice and come out! John 5:28-29; Revelations 20:13
So if all those people are now in heaven then who will be resurrected?

THE PURPOSE OF EXTREME UNCTION IS TO ALERT THE PROPITIATION OF OUR SINS AT THE TEMPLE OF GRACE.

IT IS PLEADING WITH JESUS TO HAVE MERCY ON YOUR MISERABLE SOUL.

It will not work.

No, the dead are conscious of nothing

Kobojunkie:
1. According to God, He does not answer the prayers of the unrighteous because their requests are made filthy and an abomination by their sins. This means that God does not answer prayers said by sinners and the unrighteous — not even their many pleas for the forgiveness of sins are heard and answered by Him. God only answers all — not some —of the prayers of the righteous. The righteous refers to individuals who through continuous submission and obedience to His teachings and commandments—not to be confused with doctrines and traditions of the churches of men — have proved themselves worthy to God Himself.

So, if God does not already answer any of your many petitions for the living, why would you worry about whether He responds to your petitions said for the dead?

TRY JESUS TODAY AND SEE THE DIFFERENCE.



HE ALWAYS ANSWER, AND FORGIVE.

1. It is an even better idea to visit reality often as regards many of the rituals we engage in so we do not continue to wallow in the muddy pool of ignorance for longer than is necessary.

I'm lost.. you dey laff

NO..

It's your works while on earth that will determine your path after death.. the bible says it's Judgement after death.. Whether immediately or on the judgement day, you'll definitely be judged.

GeeM:
yes

Why Saying Yes

To my current knowledge, there is no indication that prayers after death works.

The only thing that counts, if we accepted Jesus and his works on the cross, then we are sealed for the day of redemption and our name is written in the book of life.

NO. Prayers like may God forgive the sins of the departed can't be answered by God because we made to understand from the scriptures that it is appointed unto a man to die and after it, is judgement.
We are also told that there is no repentance in the grave.

All religion is based on BELIEVE, absolute believe, you will be treated as you believe, that's the way of spirit.
If you have belief, no doubt at all in you that, it work, then it will work,
Either you are Christian, Muslim or other Believer, anything you believe in, is correct, no need to condemn others, and don't use your beliefs to disturb others, is between you and your God.
There are many things we don't understand in about spirit and if we continue to ask, no one can convince you of the answer but only you. Because our brain only recognizes what we can see or hear by ourselves, and ways of spirit don't work in that way, just believe

Which spirit? The one you created?

JESUS IS GOD




John 14:6 ►

Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

This is the correct answer. appointed to die once, and after Judgement. So the prayers for the deceased does nothing. But we say prayers for the deceased to console ourselves, and its okay.

So, if Jesus Christ is God then what you are insinuating is that He as God lied when He said He does not answer the prayers of the unrighteous?

It's not a bad idea to question ideas but it is good for one to mind one's business and focus on important personal matters

And it is good for one to practice what he preaches.

Correct
No chance for repentant once dead, The Bible made us understand that It's judgment straight after death.

Leave God matter for God. Answering or not answering prayer is God's responsibility. Yours as a human is to pray or not to pray

If God doesn't answer their prayers, how then do he forgive them?

Dead or alive, prayers are mere wishful thinking. They don't work.

It not about idea but it's not 'Biblical',for none in the Scriptures set up!

No repentance after death bro..it's only on earth you can repent. After death comes judgement. You die a sinner hellfire straight you die in holiness heaven straight. You can't go to hell and God would change His mind and bring u back to heaven DONT BE DECEIVED THERE'S NO PURGATORY

Soon you'll find out

So long as they are unrighteous, there focus should instead be on being set free from slavery to sin and the only way to achieve that is through continuous submission and obedience of Jesus Christ's teachings and commandments, God's Truth, who is the only one who can set them free from their sin debt and transform them - John 8 vs 31 - 44. No amount of praying can accomplish that or change that.
