I haven’t found anyone before about 210AD asking a saint for intercession. Assuming they were born about 170AD or so, still doesn’t get them back to the apostolic era.
If I find anything, I’ll let you know.
I’ve asked that question of Roman Catholics here on FR for at least three years. They always answer with bluster that there are hundreds of sources. After asking to see them, they are from after 200 AD.
They stop answering my questions. I could name names, but it wouldn’t serve any purpose.
Bottom line is that Roman Catholics MUST agree with the doctrines of their church, no matter how unbiblical or unfounded they are. They are ultimately Sola Ecclesia. Free country.
If you ever see anything, I’d appreciate a heads up.
