I never understood why you couldn't ask posthumously

Ouija boards aren't always available in time.

Hah, I meant why couldn't the person who committed suicide ask for forgiveness at the pearly gates! What's so special about being redeemed before death, instead of after?

It's almost as if it's a bunch of nonsense

🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️ for me it's you believe in an all powerful omnipresent and all the other Omni deity that grants you entrance to an eternal afterlife and knowing the concept of humanity is born into sin and nothing we do truly makes us sinless combined with 'Once saved, always saved" why would this one sin prevent you entry? Some would argue cardinal sins or some sins carry more weight but all sin is equal. Humans give sin a tier system. Not God.
