But God has so composed the Body, giving the greater honor to the inferior part, that there may be no discord in the body, but that the members may have the same care for one another.If one member of suffers, all suffer together; if one member is honored, all rejoice together.
Those who have gone before us into heaven are still members of the One Body.
Okay. And my post does not deny that. But I do not pray to living people here on earth so why would I pray to a living person who happens to be in Heaven?
As I said, I pray to God and only to God.
