I cannot answer a question that is loaded. I do not know for absolute certain one way or the other if asking saints to pray for us is idolatry. Personally I don't believe it is although I normally pray to the Father through Jesus.

If your other question was if there is mention of that in the bible, I don't think there is anything specific regarding that practice, although there are hints of it in Revelation.

My turn to ask a question. If you don't answer it, I don't want to talk to you because you sound very intolerant.

If you had the power, would you knock that priest back on his sickbed because you don't believe those catholics prayed right?

OK, do you know what these verses are? You have a very unusual practice here, especially since I can point to the verse which says pray to the Father. If you cannot find any Biblical justification then, at the very least, your prayers will be ignored and worst, you will be praying like an idolater.

I do have that power already. Gosh, I have the power to make almost anyone sick or dead. We all have that power. We just choose not to exercise that power.

Would it make you feel better that I also believe that sometimes those flopping on the ground Charismatics get healed as well by doing it the wrong way.
