Bible Note: "But like any other saints, is it wrong to ask her to pray for you?" Yes, because prayers are to be offered to God, not humans. When you ask a heavenly created being to pray for you, you are in a very real sense praying to the creation rather than the creator. Why not pray to angels to pray for you as well? "we usually ask people to pray for us, don't we?" Yes, and in doing so I do not believe that that invididual has God's ear in any special way by virtue of a treasury of merit stored up. God's church on earth uniting in prayer is merely God's people beseeching a gracious, merciful God to meet our individual needs. --Joe! |
