I, of course, am talking about the passages they use in Revelation. Those have existed since John wrote them.
Historical writings are not God-breathed. The only God-inspired writings are Old & New Testaments in my view.
“The only God-inspired writings are Old & New Testaments in my view.”
Agreed. My point is that there is absolutely no evidence in the Holy Bible, nor in documents outside the Bible that praying to departed saints existed as a belief of Christianity until a hundred years after Christ at the earliest. Zero evidence to support praying to departed saints ever existed as a belief of the early Church, or as part of an Apostolic Tradition. It is a total argument from silence.
In Revelation, proponents of this later pagan belief bring that belief to the passages and do violence to the context.
Reading a pagan belief that never existed into a passage is eisogesis.
Ignoring context, historical background, language, etc., is interpretation.
