That really is about demonic gods.
The doctrines of saints fall into an area that is too murky for me to pull apart. The idea that Christ won’t do something good for the world without his Mom calling for it is a bit much. I think that glorifies man over God. But is there such a thing as a heavenly prayer committee so to speak... maybe. We wouldn’t need to count on it, however. There’s nothing in the bible that says we need to count on it.
Pagans have many gods for different areas of life. When the Catholic Church wanted to “bring them into the fold” what better way than to replace their “gods” with “saints”? >>But is there such a thing as a heavenly prayer committee so to speak... maybe.<<
We go directly to the Father “in Jesus name”. When we approach the Throne of Father God He sees Jesus just as a banker would see the original person who gave power of attorney to someone to do business “in his name”. Is there any more direct than that? I think not.
