1 | Is praying to created beings scriptural? | Bible general Archive 1 | Emmaus | 62748 | ||
CDBJ I note you have not addresed my question about corporate prayer and people asking one another for intercessory prayer. Are they violating a rule that we must go directly to God alone? Or are they honoring the fact that we are all in Christ and therefore interceeding for one another through Him, with Him and in Him? The communion of saints is in our union with Christ. Are the dead saints still in Christ? If so we are still in communion with them and can still ask for their prayers just as we do here. I will not bother to quote the numerous passaages to support the practice of Christians praying for one another. Was the Holy Spirit in conflict with the teaching of Jesus on the Our Father when He inspired those other passages? God is the God of the living as Jesus pointed out and the saints who have gone before us are alive with and in Christ and we are "surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses." Emmaus |

To one and all who have participated in this thread: this has been a most educational thread! I have learned a lot from both sides of the proverbial fence. Thanks for being such blessings and for being reasonable in the "discussion." While I don't prescribe to praying to those saints who have gone on before, I better understand the line of thought. | ||||||

Thank you for your input, beensetfree. There are indeed some few differences in points of view among those of us who have participated in this thread, but we all know each other fairly well by now, and I believe it fair to say we generally like each other -- and beyond that, we share a common bond of brotherhood in Christ Jesus that unites us far more firmly than our differences of points of view divide us. Brothers, do I get an amen to this? --Hank | ||||||
