Heh, I can think of my own things to say to God.

And even if I couldn’t, Romans 8:26-27, Romans 8:34, and Hebrews 7:25.

I have the Holy Spirit interceding for me according to the will of God, and Jesus is interceding for me as well.

And I should waste my time paying attention to a dead person who may or may not even be in heaven because nobody has been there and come back to verify anyway and I wouldn’t believe them even if they claimed it anyway?

Time spent praying to or focusing on anyone but Jesus or the Father, is time NOT spent praying or focusing on Jesus or the Father.

And it’s called *idolatry*.

It’s also unbelief metmom....for one has to congure up more faith to believe in something outside of Jesus Himself....as this goes against His revealed word concerning the matter.

They can and do “tack” His name on it to justify to themselves this practice...just as New Agers and most false religions do...but that does not make it so. All who go outside of Christ for whatever comfort and or experience they might have in prayer... is on dangerous ground and being deceived.....

...the enemy of mens souls loves to distract God’s people away from the centrality of Christ....and a master at making the distraction/teaching “appear” perfectly acceptable.... Reminding me now He told Jesus to jump and God’s Angels would protect Him too.

I could teach that God said to go and multiply the birth and twist that to include as many wives and husbands an individual might want...that does not mean God approves...in fact we know in that case as well He does not.
