Praying at tombs is as ancient as King Saul who was sent to the tomb of Rachel

And Saul was praying to Rachel?

That the dead pray for us we know, for example, in Revelation "I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: 10And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? "

The martyrs were praying for God's vengeance not for the people on earth.

The parallel between Romans 1 and Wisdom 13:1-10,14:22-31 is compelling.

As would any book trying to be accepted, copy from a real source. Going to have to do better on Jesus quoting from 'Wisdom' Were that real, Wisdom would have been in the canon.

The reference in Jeremiah re: Rachel weeping was a prophesy of Herod slaughtering the innocents in his quest for Jesus.

Also the prophecy of Christ in Romans chapter 2 and how Christ paraphrases right before it and then names the book that contains this prophecy.

What are you referring to here, post the relevant passage from Romans 2.
