Not meaning any offense...

but why do you think saints (who are dead) can hear you - or have more "pull" with God than you?

I would be especially curious as to any Biblical passages that you point to that teach praying to saints or give an example of someone praying to a saint. Off the top of my head, I can't think of any.

best, AMPU

The bible isn't the only word of God...

Also, Jesus had many conversations with his apostles that were not written in the bible 60 years after his death..

I'd be interested, too.

psst - there is no other mediator between God and man but the risen Christ Jesus.
