Hunh? What are you talking about?

How about showing from Scripture where we are directed to ask those who are dead to interceed for us? Back your view. I haven't seen it yet.

I wouldn't expect you to recognize maccabees and other books that outline the subject. This goes back to Sola Scriptura. On the one hand, you recognize that Jews have their traditions along with their torah. On the other hand, this is not acceptable for the Catholics who carried on this teaching. The bible is not a full scale theological treatise, nor a teaching manual. The letters from Paul were to an already thriving church--this was before they had any scripture compiled. Asking intercession goes back to the founding fathers. I can post quotes from them if you like. You, of course, will not be able to cede my point because that would mean you would have to recognize the unbiblical principle of sola scriptura.
