Not praying “to” dead humans. Praying that our “friends” in Heaven pray to Jesus for us. Just as you ask your friend on Earth to pray to Jesus for you.
that is just ridiculous to me
What part of “my personal walk with Jesus” are people missing. God hears our prayers - I do not think he needs chain mail prayers.
With this idea why confess sins to a priest in private instead of the whole congregation?
lol
