The others demanded of me answers and I complied. Now it is you guys turn.
Really? You have yet to supply me with a single verse which says that Prayer to the Saints... is Scriptural. The closest we have is a post from the Catholic Encyclopedia. It has been answered.
And woody, don't pretend like you have no idea what I am talking about.
I suppose you are wanting to know where my authority to intrepret scripture comes from. Of course, you want to claim we have no authority to intrepret scripture so you can simply declare yourself the victor here. Well, if we have no authority and you have the Holy Spirit on your side, then it should become clear rather fast that we are not correct. Unfortunately for you, it does not appear to be working out that way.
My Authority is the Holy Spirit. I have no special whispers from a priestly caste to tell me what to believe and spoon feed me Romish poison.
Now, can we get back to this discussion that you are losing badly about praying to the saints.

In other words, you are your own authority for your interpretations of scripture. Its laughable to claim that the Holy Spirit guided you to interpret scripture correctly. Laughable.
How do you know the scipture you are using is truly inspired since it was compiled by Rome? The authority you reject?
As to the saints, I will say this: How can anyone even take you seriously when you have no authority for scripture but yourself? I've explained it to you, but you don't accept it because you're determined to paint us as idol worshipers. We've been through the discussion of intercession and you choose not to get it. I already said the prayer is "to" the saint, but it is akin to asking a favor, not "worship." That you choose to continually ignore that is telling.

Didn't St.Paul (entreated, implored) saints to pray for him to God?
