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

>>Bingo. What you say here is precisely what Catholics and Orthodox believe about the relics of the saints, which is why we venerate them. God uses physical objects as means of his grace.

The Evangelical Protestant God is out there somewhere. It’s not too difficult to see how Calvinism in New England degenerated into Unitarianism and Deism within 150 years of the pilgrims landing on Plymouth rock.

No not "just like " the Rcs and orthodox.. they did not dig up the bones, parade them around kneel before them, kiss them and expect and teach further miracles would occur

It is idolatry... spiritual adultery ..do not say on that day you have not been warned
