Wow. That is truly the flimsiest argument in favor of praying to dead people I have ever read.

Roman Catholics don't seem to read the Bible much. But when they do, they pluck lines out of context and try to use them to bolster some errant philosophy or ritual. Like Mary being the new Eve.

And now because God said He is the God of Abraham that is supposed to be the evidence which permits us to violate the Second Commandment and bow down and serve and pray to statues of dead people???

Wake up, Rome. "Flee from idolatry."

I didn’t say anything about violating the Second Commandment, or praying or serving statues—not my fight.

I did indicate that those who you consider dead are not dead according to taking my commentator, whom you seem to think guilty of flimsy Biblical scholarship—taking Exodus 3:6 out of context.

You may want to re-consider your position, after looking at the commentary, which is embedded in the 22 chapter of the Gospel of St. Matthew. The commentator is thought by many to be worth following closely. I try to model my scholarship after Hia.
