Bible Note: Hank My use of the term 'saint' was with a lower case 's' and consistent with the term used in the New Testament about 45 times. The definition of the term of 'saint' is 'consecrated to God, holy, sacred, pious'. I believe that definition would also include those who have died and have gone to heaven and are in union with God. Now, if we can ask a living sinner to pray for us, why can we not ask a 'saint' in heaven to pray for us? I am not saying we should worship the 'saint' in heaven, but only to ask that they pray for us. And, I believe my two citings from Revelation would support it. Brian |
