It is unanswered for your likes and your frame of mind. What happens in the intermediate state between bodily death and bodily resurrection? To me the implications of this question goes the fact that those who are dead are not really dead but alive in Christ even when their bodies are asleep in a grave. The relationship for me is within the Apostle's Creed regarding the "communion of saints" and that there are p***ages such as in Revelations of prayers like incense being offered up to God by the elders. Perhaps you would like to take up the Seventh Day Adventist position of soul sleep, since you seem to suggest more that by an inability of knowledge that it is best to believe saints in heaven have no capacity of receiving knowledge without a body. But then again, what kind of bodies do angel's have or of demons if they parade as ghostly spirits. The nature of our state in God questions to me the ability of God to grant knowledge, especially when in God there is completeness of knowledge. The love chapter of 1 Cor. 13 seems to suggest we know in part, but when our souls return to God, are they still lacking in the presence of God, who is divine love itself? Hence, for me, this is directly more against's God's nature than it is about a particular saint in heaven.
