Why not pray to The Father through The Son as instructed in The Bible? Again, nowhere in The Bible does it advocate praying to anyone else. The Ten Commandments specifically state to NOT make and bow to or pray to any image.

Are you saying that Jesus does not hear your prayers unless you ask through someone else? What's the point of praying to anyone else but GOD?

But nowhere in the Bible is the Canon of Scripture described in detail! Hmmmmmmmm. By whose Authority is your Bible assembled? Or can you cite me Scripture and verse of the books of the Canon?

1 Timothy 2:1
I pray you, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone—

Paul is asking, urging, praying that we intercede for each other. Do you think that the saints in heaven no longer do this? Is it that they don't love us anymore? Or that they can no longer talk to God?
