"Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is BOTH DEAD AND BURIED, and his sepulcher is with us UNTO THIS DAY… For DAVID IS NOT ASCENDED INTO THE HEAVENS…" Acts 2:29 & 34 (1st part).

Try reading the whole thing and not just cherrypicking parts of verses. Peter is here (at Pentecost, this Sunday) saying that David did not ascend into Heaven until Jesus had defeated death.

Do you consider all these verses to be in error like the one below?

You are the one in error. We understand Scripture as written, not as verses plucked out of the ether. The Old Testament books describe the situation before Christ came. Now that Christ has opened the Heavens those passages are no longer describing a true situation. Things have changed, alleluia!

And for what it's worth, asking another to pray for you does not mean that christ is not the only mediator. People pray for each other all the time. This is the silliest of arguments.

No, you understand it as you interpret it. Just like everyone else does.

Once again, Dave, we are talking about praying TO DEAD PEOPLE and having DEAD people pray for you.

Again, if this happens al lthe time, show ne one verse where we are instructed to pray TO DEAD PEOPLE and show me one verse where we are instructed to ASK DEAD PEOPLE TO PRAY FOR US.

You could pray FOR dead people but that is different than praying TO dead people.

Since you did NOT post any verses supporting praying TO dead people or any verses supporting DEAD people praying for us, the last time I asked, I take it you still have not found any.

I have read the whole thing and I need your help. Please direct me to the "until" part.
