Praying for those already dead seems a bit late, the die is cast. Heaven or hell, one way or the other.

So, you believe God is bound to time?

Where is it written that God turns a deaf ear to the pleas of His children when they ask for mercy for the dead?

I seem to recal that the Bible speaks to this.

Jesus Himself tells a story, (I believe it reads more like an EYEWITNESS account) Of a rich man and poor man. Both die. The poor man goes to Heaven, the rich to hades. The rich man is in torment, pleads for water and mercy, receives neither.

Further, he is told that no one will go back to warn his brothers. They have the same opportunity to believe or not.

For each man it is appointed to die, THEN (as in, after that)the Judgement.

So, while God is not bound by time, WE are bound by it. The time is NOW for all of us. WE have a decision, here and now, believe or dont. Having decidied, God honors that decision.
