Subject: Is praying to created beings scriptural? |
Bible Note: Emmaus, We are specificly commanded to pray for one another! Please... I was roman catholic and we PRAYED to the Saints and to Mary as if they themselves had the power to answer prayer. I know that you will say that we prayed amiss and that is not the teaching of the church. But in reality this is the result a doctrine that is not supported scripturaly. Give me scripture first and then we can employ reason as a tool for understanding and verifying doctrine. For "the prayer of righteous man availeth much," and "whereever two or three are gathered in My name and in agreement on a matter...". It is eisogesis to conlude that this verse validates praying to saints or angels. Using your logic one could pray to old Uncle Bob (who we are sure is in heaven because he was such a good man) to intercede on our behalf. John John |
