Your post is very interesting.
While the first part of your post, quoting Psalms 103 doesn't "directs us to invoke those in heaven and ask them to pray with us", it is the second part I was intrigued by. I agree, incidently that those in heaven, saints and angels praise God.
Revelation is interesting ...
Let's assume your statement is correct... "The simple fact is, as this passage shows: The saints in heaven offer to God the prayers of the saints on earth."
We are still left with the argument from nothing that we should pray to saints who are now in heaven.
We are to pray to God alone.
best to you, ampu
>>>We are to pray to God alone.<<<
Yes! Through the blood of Christ and by the power of the Holy Spirit. Not to mention we are to worship God alone.
Your posts are a joy to read.
