My Lord is the lord of the living, not the dead.

Mary and all Christians who sleep in Christ are not dead. They look it to human eyes, but they are not. Jesus has saved them, and they are living, right now.

I can ask any living Christian to pray for me, whether he is alive in earth or in Heaven.

I worked in a building with a computer sever which could handle thousands of requests each second. That's a machine.

A human being is made in the image of God. How many requests can a human being, perfected, untethered from our sinful world, and basking in the presence of God, handle each second?

Are the saints in heaven omnipotent, is Mary omnipotent? NO!

They would have to be to hear all the prayers that are being given in their names.

NO ONE IS OMNIPOTENT BUT GOD!!!!!!!!>

[guitarplayer1953]

There is only one mediator between man and God and that is Christ Jesus. You have turned the saints in heaven into little gods along with mary. You believe that they hold some special place in heaven to hear and whisper into the ear of God. This totally unbiblical. Read your bible and show me where it says that they can hear and answer prayer. Prayer is a form of worship and we are not to put any other gods in before the Lord God Almighty.

16For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

Mary and all Christians who sleep in Christ are not dead. They look it to human eyes, but they are not. Jesus has saved them, and they are living, right now.

According to the bible they are.
