God of the Dead vs. God of the Living | What Jesus Meant and How Catholics & Orthodox Twist It

from The Least of These Podcast with Jayni Jackson · host Jayni Jackson

Did Jesus really give us permission to pray to saints in Mark 12:27? Catholics and Orthodox often point to this passage—“He is not God of the dead, but of the living”—as proof that since Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob are alive to God, it must be fine to speak to them. But is that what Jesus meant? In this video, we break down the context of Jesus’ debate with the Sadducees, expose the real meaning of His words, and show why this passage offers something far greater than permission to talk to saints—it offers assurance of God’s unbreakable faithfulness.#BibleStudy #Christianity #Protestant #SolaScriptura #CatholicChurch #OrthodoxChurch #PrayToSaints #JesusChrist #Mark1227 #AssuranceOfSalvation
