If your earthly father was alive today, would you talk to him though others? you would do that only if you didn’t have a good relationship with your earthly father.
Again, Why would you pray to anyone other than the Father? Why not approach God Directly?
The Lord thy God is a jealous God.
WHY WOULD ANYONE ASK SOMEONE ELSE TO TALK TO GOD FOR THEM WHEN YOU CAN APPROACH HIM DIRECTLY?
CAN YOU ANSWER THAT?
You jump on tradition. That is why you don’t pray to Moses and Elijah, your tradition says otherwise.
If I was going to ask for intercession it would be Moses. He has proven to bend God’s ear. God said he trusted Moses, the only person he said that about.
Or Daniel. Gabriel appeared to him twice. He told Daniel he was highly esteemed. I don’t recall Gabriel saying that to anyone else.
