Satan does miracles as well..those that look to dead mans bones or that look to anyone but Christ commit adultery

You mean when the bones of the prophet Eliseus brought a man back to life (2 Kings 13:21), that was the Devil? No. It is Christ who heals through the relics of his saints and prophets. I realize that Protestants disapprove of Him healing in this way, but that did not stop Him from healing through Eliseus' bones, St. Paul's handkerchiefs (Acts 19:12), or St. Peter's shadow (Acts 5:15).

All Church Fathers universally cherished the relics of saints and martyrs.

Peters shadow and peters hankie were NOT RELICS...

Please show me where the apostles used the bones of dead men to heal anyone..

On Elisha, indeed a dead man was revived when he was physically placed in the presence of the dead prophet .....The bible does not tell us that it was the power of the dead prophets bones.. or anything within the bones themselves .. Just as God had honored the prophet Elijah by taking Him away in the sight of men .. He honored Elisha by causing this miracle to honor this prophet

This is the only recorded miracle caused by a dead mans bones ..there is no record that these bones were then taken up, no other miracles are recorded by these bones,, they were not put on the altar, or knelt before, or kissed or placed in a special display box..

..We have been warned... Mat 12:39 But he answered them, “An evil and adulterous generation seeks for a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah.

"The first Christians left the bodies of the saints in their graves, obeying the universal sentence, that all flesh is dust, and TO DUST IT MUST RETURN, and did not attempt their resurrection before the appointed time by raising them in pomp and state. This example has not been followed by their successors; on the contrary, the bodies of the faithful, in opposition to the command of God, have been disinterred in order to be glorified, when they ought to have remained in their places of repose awaiting the last judgment."
