The Lord God, the Creator, does not want us praying to statues, dead people, etc.
That is the reason for the second commandment, which the Catholic church removed from the Ten Commandments.
We are to pray, to make our requests to God, in the Name of Jesus Christ our Savior:
1 Timothy 2:5
“For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;”
You deflected and totally failed to refute what is said in Acts 15 with the verses I gave.
It isn’t praying to a statue either. Prove there is actual praying to a statue.
