RE: "Do you pray for the dead?" ~ Ruminations on God's Sovereignty Over Time
Reading your reflection on the state of the dead, I agree that we are very limited to the scope of understanding that our Creator has in the final line of life and death. Although we are clear about the state of the dead, that we all know, that know nothing, feel nothing, waiting for the day of final judgment, our heart every time that the memory of them comes to our memory, does not comfort us in the Lord through of prayer. Therefore, it is very normal and it prints an act of nobility to your attitude of praying for them @creatr.
Thank you, Yoselina, for your thoughtful comments.
Yes, I agree that the dead who have not been redeemed by the LORD are in that state of complete silence, waiting for judgement. But I don't think we can know for sure who was and was not redeemed at the time of their death.
And so I pray that the LORD may have had mercy on my dead friends and loved ones before they died, and may have taken them into his presence.
Take care!
