You're the only one that can't figure out what intercessory means. Of course the prayers are addressed to the particular saint.

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.

Why would you do that anyway? Is your friend a saint? I'm sure you think so, but we are talking about people who are in heaven with God. If you think that it is stupid, as you obviously do, then what more can I say? I'm sorry to have strained your neuron.

And no, asking what authority you use to interpret scripture isn't changeing the subject. It begs asking since you refer to the bible for all of your arguments. How do you know you are even using inspired scripture since you reject Rome? Who is your authority?
