If I am in need, do I have the right to ask you to pray for me? And, will you then pray for me, if I ask. Are you not then interceding with God on my behalf. Are you not assisting me; as service to God. Do I not have the right to ask the Saints to pray for me? You must understand, the Saints are still living, only in heaven and not on earth. Do you feel that the Saints are not allowed to continue serving God in the same way they did while their bodies where alive, and in the same manner in which you will do for me? |

Saints are not omnipresent. They can't hear you praying in United States as another prays to them in Africa. So someone’s prayers is going to be missed at best. At worst, since there is not any scriptural evidence that people in heaven can hear anything we say, everyone who prays to saints are missing out. There is not one scriptural basis for praying to anyone else than God Himself. When the disciples asked Jesus to teach them to pray did He teach them to pray to Mary, Saint Joseph, to Himself? No! He said pray this way, "Our Father..." If you feel you, the pope or any church doctrine has the authority to change that then your seriously mistaken. We are to pray to God in the name of Jesus. Ed |
