So all those christian pastors and priests including the Muslim clerics that pray during a way keeping or funeral service are commiting a sin?

All those who go a grave yard to place a flower and offer a little prayer to the dead are commiting a sin because it is unbiblical?

Do Nairalanders believe this chick or what? shocked

Your just a misguided person who loves to blurt nonsense at every given opportunity.

So are you saying if a loved one of yours dies tomorrow, there should be no form or sort of prayers for the person. Just dump the person into a grave and voila it's done? No prayers of sorts?

So much for being a biblical guru!
Re: The Book Of Proverbs And It's Life Lessons by plusQueen: 12:01am On Oct 02, 2008
see Eccl 9 :4

It basically says that once we are dead,we are dead and have not the same rights as a living person


4 Anyone who is among the living has hope [b]—even a live dog is better off than a dead lion!

   5 For the living know that they will die,
      but the dead know nothing;
      they have no further reward,
      and even their name is forgotten.

   6 Their love, their hate
      and their jealousy have long since vanished;
      never again will they have a part
      in anything that happens under the sun.

the fact that so many people steal does not mean stealing isnt wrong.

The fact that some misguided individuals waste their time praying for the dead does not mean the bible hasnt condemned it already.

2 Maccabees 12:43-46: "It is a holy and wholesome thing to pray for the dead that they may be loosed from their sins."

Just the way you claimed Eccl says you shouldnt pray for the dead, Maccabees supports praying for the dead.

just because your not conversant with the catholic bible doesnt give you the right to make fun of it. I can go on and on to make fun of the protestant bibles and all the missing links, chapters and verses not compatible with the hebrew bible.

there are so many things the catholics preach and do that are not biblical. The bible is against praying for the dead. Too bad if you still want to pray for ur dead ancestors.

I am not going into a catholic versus protestant argument with you. I see it has been well documented on nairaland. You have no right to cast slurs against the catholic church as to what is biblical and what is not. I try and refrain to accusing your denominations and what it represents so please respect the catholic church.

If you dont like it, you say so and not say there are so many things the catholic church preaches and are not biblical.

If you want a debate against protestants and catholics, i am open to such battle but choose your words

You must really have a lot of fools surrounding you and your inner circle of life. Are these the only passages you open at night when you are saying your night prayers with your loved ones?

Definately it doesnt take a rocket scientist to know how you guys cherish the fool word and how it plays a huge impact in your lives!
carefully.

The concept of praying for the dead is strongly condemned in the bible. You can foam in the mouth all you like.
