If people are dead and do not know what is going on on Earth then how do you explain?

Question

Luke 15:7 where Jesus says there will be more rejoicing in Heaven over one sinner who repents than the ones that never wandered away?

Surely they have to be aware of what's going on.

Answer 1

You can't your right they're aware the Church has always taught that they are. The Nicene Creed says I believe in the communion of saints, what do you think the communion of saints is? The body of Christ joined on earth, and in heaven in union with us.

And FYI to my non-believer friends on top she's directing this question to Protestants.

Answer 2

Angels were always angels, millions of them. Jehovah and Jesus are there too. All rejoice when a human comes back to glorify God.

Answer 3

Who does the rejoicing? Maybe the angels.

Answer 4

My twin died in 1990. After she had been dead for a few weeks, she came to me in a dream, and we talked. She told me not to worry or be sad. She said it was beautiful where she was.

A few weeks later, she came back in another dream. This time, she said that she was so happy there that she would not be returning to see me much anymore, because she hated to leave for even a few moments.
She did say that she would always be watching over me and that she would always love me.


I have very seldom dreamed of her since.


So yes, I KNOW they know what is going on.

Answer 5

the angels rejoice
and that guy on the cross next to CHRIST might rejoice too
he 's thier now i doubt he looks down,
but i know very little
HE has Risen

Answer 6

Easy. The bible is a book of fables like Beowulf. Supernatural stuff happens in those books all the time, don't mean they mean anything in the real world.

Answer 7

Oh, you mean that book with the talking animals and the dude who lived in a whale's belly? I heard somewhere that not everything in that book is accurate or to be taken litterally.
