I haven't misrepresented anything. You are the one who insists that praying to other people is ok. All I am asking for is scripture to back it up.
By the way... asking someone to pray for you/with you is a lot different than praying to that person. Would you, at any time, say to your neighbor, friend, pastor, priest "I pray to you, so that you will send up prayers to heaven on my behalf"? No, you would just ask them to pray WITH you or FOR you. You don't pray to them. If you can't see the difference, then you are blind.
