Oh no!! You’ve done it now. Matthew 15:6-9 is just one example that Jesus fought against traditions of men that contradicted The Word of God. Show me one example of Jesus or his disciples praying to a dead saint for deliverance or help.

[Cronos]

Matthew 15:6-9 shows Jesus fighting against corruption of Tradition. He points out that Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath. Jesus came to fulfil scripture and Tradition, not to destroy it.

Show me one example of Jesus or his disciples praying to a dead saint for deliverance or help. Well it does not specifically mention Jesus or the apostles, but it does show those in heaven sending the prayers to God. If God had recieved them directly there would be no need for the Angels to send them up to God.

Revelation 8:3 Another angel came and stood at the altar, holding a gold censer. He was given a great quantity of incense to offer, along with the prayers of all the holy ones, on the gold altar that was before the throne. 4 The smoke of the incense along with the prayers of the holy ones went up before God from the hand of the angel.
