You're the only one that can't figure out what intercessory means. Of course the prayers are addressed to the particular saint. But as I have already told you 15 times, they aren't prayers of worship and are akin to asking for help. Everyone on the thread understands this but you. And that is because you're as blind as a bat and unable to comprehend things even when they come straight from the dictionary and are higlighted in bold.

There is no Biblical call to pray to anyone but Christ. I don't see the attempts of deflection ending.

Nope, I know exactly what intercession means. Am I to understand that according to your definition of prayer that if I walk up to a friend at church and ask him to pray with me (or for me) that I am praying to my friend to pray for me. If so, then you have a stupid definition of prayer.

And that is because you're as blind as a bat and unable to comprehend things even when they come straight from the dictionary and are higlighted in bold.

Well, show me the dictionary definition for prayer that says anytime I ask my friend to pray with/for me.

And who is your authority to translate that scripture? You?

Are you now going to change the subject as you have been thrashed in this debate, totally unable to produce a single Scripture verse to back up your claim that Prayers to a saint... is Scriptural.

I like that JMJ333 even when one is direct some are still WALKING IN THE DARK IN THE NOONDAY SUN:)

OR

They who are not chosen have sinned a very grievous sin, in that they are walking in darkness at noon-day.
