So, you never ask anyone to pray for you?

"So, you never ask anyone to pray for you?"

First off, I never said that. Now dsc, it is unwise and less than honest to put words in the mouth of others to distract.

To answer your topic switch question, no, I suppose we've simply been blessed and others need intercession more than we do. But if I did I would NEVER want them wasting their time and praying to Mary, or any other dead fallible mortal.

I and other believers call high and direct. Praying for others is fine, however WHO you pray TO makes a BIG difference - ONLY to Christ.

It works like this fro Christians:

Christ is the MEDIATOR and the Holy Spirit is the INTERCESSOR. Christ ALONE, died for our sins; not Peter, Paul or Mary. ONLY Christ. The punishment for sin is DEATH and Christ paid that price by laying His INNOCENT life down for all. The Holy Spirit did NOT die for us. Again, ONLY Christ paid the price.

1 Timothy 2:5

[5] For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;

Romans 8:26

[26] Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

Dsc, there is still time to get it right ... you see what's going on out there ... . Prophecy is happening right before our eyes.
