Oh my... this again?
Next time someone asks you to pray for them, tell them you can’t because apparently there are no intercessors according to this viewpoint.
Catholics do not pray TO saints they ask them to pray for us...just like people ask you to pray for them. We believe in the “communion of all holy people”, whether dead or alive.
“...pray for me to the Lord our God”
I ask for LIVE people to pray for me, not DEAD people.
Hebrews 7:24 But this man, because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood. 25 Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them. 26 For such a high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;
Surely you're not saying that your priest are on the same order as Jesus, our High Priest are you?
Romans 8:34 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.
Oh my... this again?
I didn't ask to be in this post, NYer pinged me so you can thank him/her.
How do you communicate with an entity that has no physical form, unlike someone standing right in front of you?
Jesus and all the the teachers He sent out said to pray to God. Why not just do that?
