[Full Court]

So we can see how confusion would occur, I'm praying to you.

You have a way of reaching me to ask me to pray FOR YOU.

You do not have any way at all of reaching Mary or other dead people to ask them to pray for you.

You are not told to do so in Scripture. And you are not told to pray to them.

So why do it?

[D-fendr]

You have a way of reaching me to ask me to pray FOR YOU.

I also have a way of reaching them. We are in communion, part of the same Body of Christ. And therein lies our difference of belief. The Communion of Saints. Whether the saints in heaven are part of the Body of Christ or not, whether they are aware of us or not.

You are not told to do so in Scripture.

Sure we are. The difference is you don't think it applies to saints in heaven, we do. Same reason as above.

thanks for your reply.
