“When anyone shows me from the SCRIPTURES where we are told to pray to dead people I will do it!”
First, show us where scripture claims the saints in Heaven are dead people rather than alive in Christ, okay?
Show me a scripture that tells us to ask saints in Heaven to pray for us.
1Th 4:13
Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope.
1Th 4:14
For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him.
1Th 4:15
According to the Lord’s word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep.
To be clear, St. Paul is talking about the dead.
