AMPLIFIED 2015 | Jude 1:9 But even the archangel Michael, when he was disputing with the devil (Satan), and arguing about the body of Moses, did not dare bring an abusive condemnation against him, but [simply] said, "The Lord rebuke you!" [Deut 34:5, 6; Zech 3:2] |
Bible Question: I need help -- I have been trying to tell my mom that she needs only to pray to God (not to the saints too). She feels that the saints will intercede and pray along with her to God. Please help me with any verses/comments you may have. |
Bible Answer: The Gospels teach that Jesus is our intercessor. Paul tells us that we, as believers, are higher than the angels! These verses say nothing about Michael interceeding about Moses' soul, just his body! In First Corinthians, Paul tells us this body is of no use to us once we die. Ask your Mom to show you where the Bible says pray to anyone other than God! Jesus is there! We are His and He will intercede if we pray in His name. I always consider that a "reminder", if you will, to God that I am one of Jesus' boys! (Little Scritual humor! God doesn't need me to remind Him of anythnig!) Ask leading questins and then let the Holy Spirit guide her to the truth. In Christ's Name! |
