There are plenty of scriptures which states not to pray to the dead

Name one. And if you can't find one that says not to "pray to the dead", I hope you will immediately retract your false assertion.

Didn't the author used:

Isa 8:19 And when they shall say to you, Seek to the mediums and to wizards who peep and mutter; should not a people seek to their God, than for the living to the dead?

Seems pretty straight forward to me. If you want something in the NT how about the following:

Luk 24:5 and as the women were terrified and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them, "Why do you seek the living One among the dead?

It's a little more obscure but still on point if you get the drift.
