1 | Is praying to created beings scriptural? | Bible general Archive 1 | Emmaus | 62746 | ||
John, "Using your logic one could pray to old Uncle Bob (who we are sure is in heaven because he was such a good man) to intercede on our behalf." That is exactly right John. In fact we might even have asked Uncle Bob to pray for us while he was here among the saints on earth. Why should we stop asking for his prayers when he is even closer to God. Emmaus |

2 | Is praying to created beings scriptural? | Bible general Archive 1 | Hank | 62749 | ||
Am I wrong to think that the differences between the Protestant and Catholic views on prayer stem chiefly from the former's sola scriptura perspective and the latter's "tripod" foundation based on Scripture, church tradition and papal authority? Is this an over simplification of the matter or is my thinking totally off base -- just plain wrong? It appears to me that Scripture alone does not support praying to or for the dead. If that is the case, then I'd have to conclude that the authority for the practice must come from some extra-scriptural source. --Hank | ||||||

Hank, You are correct in understanding as it applies to the sainst in heaven. Obviously there is abundant scripture for asking the saints here on earth to pray for us and with us. Emmaus |
