Subject: Is praying to created beings scriptural? |
Bible Note: Glory, I think it is safe to say that if Uncle Bob is in heaven that he has much greater capacities than we do here as he is now a "partaker of His divine nature" in an even more radical way. I think it also safe to say that the saints in heaven pray in conformity to God's will and Christ's prayer as He is ever interceeding for us before the Father. Prayer for one another, here or in heaven, is one way in which we "conform ourselves to Christ." Do you think you mother in heaven loves and cares for you less because she is in the presence of God or more? If we love God, do we not love what and whom He loves even more the closer our relationship with Him becomes? Emmaus |
