Back it up with scripture...

You should know better than this, if you've read the New Testament, or, better yet, listened to it on tape or CD.

John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

The whole New Testament discuses the way to God through belief and faith. Paul preached numerous times against ways to God other than the Gospel.

Biblical authority to pray to other than God through Jesus.

Two things you don't understand.

1. The Church does not need a Biblical authority to do anything. She already has all the authority anyone can want form Jesus directly: "whatsoever thou shalt bind upon earth, it shall be bound also in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose upon earth, it shall be loosed also in heaven".

2. Prayer to saints is a prayer to God through Jesus.

It is not complicated.
