Paul was saying that the practice of the Corinthian church was wrong.

There was a line in the mormon church that did it, so it wasnt just the primitive church of Christ.

And also even praying for the dead, the catholic practice, is not too biblical! There is some crazy stuff out there!

Not sure what's going on in the discussion but I have to point out the fallacy here. First, no where in the Bible does it say to not pray for the dead, and second, in the Deuterocanonical book 2 Macabees, it is AFFIRMED that praying for the dead is good and pleasing to the Lord.

You may not accept the Septuagint, but it certainly is historically valid, and to this day Jews pray for the dead. Did Jesus ever tell them to STOP doing that? No, and if it was bad He would have, wouldn't He? Also, read 1 Cor 3: 10-15, I'm sure you will be surprised by what you find.
