Not to be confused with Joan Van Ark who is seen in this photo on the set of Quark on this date in 1977.

I don't pay enough attention to generations. I'm sure you're closer to right. I can't remember and took a shot in the dark.

X12 in the 1760s sounds wild too though. My great grandfather was born in the 1880s.

I have an aunt who was really into it and traced the line all the way back to the first records in what's now Louisiana. She put it all together into a binder for us years ago.

I wonder what every day life was like in that era.

I mean not counting the stake burning activities.

True, he migrated to Louisiana in the 1760s.. not sure how old he was at the time. Probably was born early 1700s.. good catch.

Fact check: false.

I obviously keep a handy Truth guide that is even more helpful that checking subjective “facts.” I keep it ready for copy-pasting into Romanist threads that usually get whacked, so I don’t waste a bunch of time.

Here’s some Truth from my anti-“necromancy” and false-priesthood reference section:

1 Timothy 2:5
For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.

Hebrews 4:14–16
Seeing then that we have a great high priest... Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.
For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities...
Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

Hebrews 7:25
Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.

To keep it balanced, here a list of verses that tell us to pray to dead people:

Asking one person to pray for you in no way violates Christ's mediatorship. Christ is a unique mediator between man and God because He is the only person who is both God and man the only God-man. But that role as mediator is not compromised in the least by the fact that others intercede for us.

In fact, just four verses before 1 Timothy 2:5, Paul urges: "First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all men." Paul is clearly not saying intercession is forbidden he's commanding it.

Revelation 5:8, where John depicts the saints in heaven offering our prayers to God under the form of "golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints." If the saints in heaven are offering our prayers to God, then they must be aware of our prayers.

In Revelation 6:9-11, the martyred saints in heaven cry out in a loud voice to God. This means that the saints in heaven are praying for those on earth, and God answers their prayers (Rev. 8:1-5). We therefore ask for their intercession and protection.

"Elders" in heaven (dead saints) spoke to St. John (Revelation 5:5; 7:13-17), and John spoke to one of them (Revelation 7:14). Communication between heaven and earth is clearly not off-limits in Scripture


TL;DR

If you're going to use Scripture, you gotta use all of it.....

None of those prohibit asking those close to God to put in a good word.

You guys always try so hard but at the end of the day the only way you're right is if we consider your opinions as facts.

Pretty much anything religious is not confirmed fact.

That is why it is called "faith".

Faith is hard enough without having to place it all in some Johnny come lately that decided his interpretation alone is what the Bible actually means.

It's like how progressives see the constitution.

Christ is our one mediator to the father.

Saints are still members of the Body of Christ. Christ gives is eternal life and every Christian who has died in Christ is forever a member of the Body of Christ.

my parents went to Europe several times in late 70s to late 80s just to do that genealogy stuff. They traced some back to the times the family had a coat of arms. Prob back into the mid 1600s. They gave us all a book. I just asked if we own a castle. We were just regular people.
