Can Souls In Heaven Help People On Earth?

[Jimmy Higgins]

He said to him, ‘If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.’”

Of course, the Tanakh doesn't speak of Heaven or Hell. What is funny is that nothing is spoken as to why either ends up as they do, just reads as propaganda for the poor. An poor propaganda at that. If they don't listen to people that haven't existed in 400 to 600 years... why would they listen to someone today? Seriously?! Again, this is handwaving the whole, "Well if there is a god, why not the talking now?" question.

Ressurecting a thread - interesting to think about. Yeah, given the theology, can souls in heaven help anyone on earth? And how would they do it?

Tiger’s answer above is interesting - know one knows what heaven would be like. And yet Christians all over the place are absolutley certain that it’s The Best!!

I assume that you meant "no one knows what heaven would be like" rather than "know one knows what heaven would be like"

That is not entirely correct. We are told a little about it but not everything.
I think it was Reinhold Niebuhr who said that said "we do not know the furnishings of heaven or the temperature of hell"

Might be why God, Abraham, Moses, or Steve Allen didn't bother talking about it in the Tanakh.

Heaven for the climate. Hell for the company.
