The puppet master god of Calvin is a week bully

lol. "Week?" I try to read him daily. No one knew as much Scripture or the depths of Rome's deceit as did Calvin.

Calvin was just a fallen creature like the rest of us who understood, by the grace of God alone, that Rome had strayed so far from Scripture as to be unrecognizable as the church of God on earth.

And now, thankfully, we all can see how Rome and its Catechism continues to contradict itself from 969 to 2112, which of course is the problem. The RCC says one thing and does another. And sometimes it says both things.

Bible-believing Christians aren't fooled.

If a man kneels to a statue of some dead person, and prays to a statue of some dead person, and asks for guidance and benefits and mediation and intercession and grace and redemption from some dead person...well that looks an awful like like anti-Scriptural idolatry.

At least for those with eyes to see.

And yes, we know we are to make "intercessions" for all our fellow men. That means we are to pray for one another while we are on hearth; no praying to dead people, which is necromancy and explicitly forbidden in God's word.

"Then shall it be for a man to burn: for he will take thereof, and warm himself; yea, he kindleth it, and baketh bread; yea, he maketh a god, and worshippeth it; he maketh it a graven image, and falleth down thereto.

He burneth part thereof in the fire; with part thereof he eateth flesh; he roasteth roast, and is satisfied: yea, he warmeth himself, and saith, Aha, I am warm, I have seen the fire:

And the residue thereof he maketh a god, even his graven image: he falleth down unto it, and worshippeth it, and prayeth unto it, and saith, Deliver me; for thou art my god.

They have not known nor understood: for he hath shut their eyes, that they cannot see; and their hearts, that they cannot understand.

And none considereth in his heart, neither is there knowledge nor understanding to say, I have burned part of it in the fire; yea, also I have baked bread upon the coals thereof; I have roasted flesh, and eaten it: and shall I make the residue thereof an abomination? shall I fall down to the stock of a tree?

He feedeth on ashes: a deceived heart hath turned him aside, that he cannot deliver his soul, nor say, Is there not a lie in my right hand?" -- Isaiah 44:15-20

And I'll pray for all those who ignore these verses or fail to understand the depth of the error of thinking anyone or anything is a mediator, intercessor, benefactress or advocate between God and man other than Christ Jesus.

Read your Bible and know the truth.

Your unwillingness to understand the full breath of intercessory prayer including those saints in heaven does not reduce it to the mockery you make it out to be.

The only contradiction is in your mind. No one can help you if you refuse to be helped.
