:Compare 2 Peter 1:15 "And I will strive after my departure you may be able to recall these things." (see [http://biblehub.com/interlinear/2_peter/1-15.htm interlinear text of 2 Peter 1:15] and [http://biblehub.com/multi/2_peter/1-15.htm multiple versions of 2 Peter 1:15])<br>And 2 Maccabees 15:12-16 testifies to the doctrine that "dead" saints pray for the people: (c. 152 B.C.) "And Onias spoke, saying, 'This is a man who loves the brethren and prays much for the people and the holy city, [[Jeremiah]] the prophet of God.' " 2 Maccabees 15:14.<br> Also 2 Maccabees 12:42-45 testifies to the practice of intercessory prayer for those dead who had been believers but had sinned, that they might be delivered from their sin.<br>Second Maccabees and six other books and parts of books of the Catholic and Orthodox Bible have been rejected because of this, and many other doctrines found in them, rejected by the Protestant Reformation as promoting superstition and paganism in opposition to the pure and simple truth of the Gospel of Christ. See [[Apocrypha]] and [[Syncretism]], also [[Great Apostasy]].
