BTW, need to answer me. You can talk with Him about asking His mom to pray for others when you see Him.

Au contraire.... There is a great need to answer such a post. In the post, we can see the need for the Roman Cultists to respond with simplistic challenges alleging that we just don't know the right formula, or we wouldn't dare say no to our Mom.

My Mom is dead. She prayed for me often (or at least she told me she did). I was probably in need of it.I can certainly use all of the help I can find.

BUT, I just cannot find anything in Scripture about seeking dead people to pray for anyone. We do not see in Scripture any allusion that dead people have the ability or the need to pray for us. We are certainly on our own, when it comes to the dead.

BUT (another one), we are also told to pray one for another. Dead people can't speak, but anybody, friend, family member, or foe, are a constant target for our prayers to the FATHER. Nowhere in Scripture do we see anything that alludes or tells us directly (or indirectly) to ask the dead to pray for us.

If you have any Scriptural evidence of your claims, feel free to post them and I will try an respond accordingly.

In the meantime, remember that Jesus died for our sins. Mary just birthed a child!

Catholics don’t need scriptural evidence for anything!
The Pope is the voice of God here on earth!
