Your problem is this: you don’t know what the Bible says.

Scripture tells us there is ONE mediator between God and men and His name is Jesus Christ. Prayers uttered dead men, even “saints,” are no more useful than praying to a stump. Christ and Christ alone is THE mediator. You don’t know that all of your “saints” are even in heaven.

And where did you get your Bible from?

[Cronos]

.45, you are wrong in what your post thinks are Catholic beliefs. We Catholics believe that there is ONE Mediator between God and man -- the God-man Jesus Christ. No saint on heaven or earth is the same special sense of mediator. All saints on heaven and earth are intercessors due to Christ's mediatorship

Those living on earth or living in Christ follow as per 1 Tim 2:1-3 "supplications, prayers, petitions, and thanksgivings be offered for everyone "

This mediation is through Christ's and is only possible because Jesus IS the Mediator, the Bridge between Man and God

[Cronos]

And remember that even Calvinists disavow sola scriptura completely -> remember the Marburg Colloquy
