Does doing "novena" for the dead help send their souls to the kingdom? (Part 2 of 2)

Does doing "novena" for the dead help send their souls to the kingdom? (Part 2 of 2)

According to Scott P. Richert,

A novena is a series of prayers that are said for nine straight days, usually as a prayer of petition but sometimes as a prayer of thanksgiving.

Whether this ritual can help send one's soul to heaven is what we have to find out from the scriptures.

2 Timothy 3:16-17 (NIV) says,

16 All Scripture is God-breathed(A) and is useful for teaching,(B) rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness,(C) 17 so that the servant of Goda may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.

According to the scriptures, it is also written:

Hebrews 9:27 (KJV)

“And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:”

The only business the dead has with God after death is judgement.

Roman's 10:9 (NLT)

If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be save
