'Also, Besides praying to God, *** I even asked George Washington to intervene and ask God to help Terri, since Feb. 22 is his day.'

To use him as inspiration is one thing (although I would look to the cross), but to pray to the dead is another. I don't mean to criticize you, or offend you, I really don't. But this was how I prefaced my lost post. The lesson we are to learn here is that there is ONE God, and He is a jealous God. He is the Creator and we are to worship HIM not the created man. He told us to come out and be separate and He would be a Father to us. What did Jesus say? Call no man your father on earth for you have one Father who is in Heaven. After we planted a cross in 1607 and dedicated this country to Jesus Christ and the spreading of the gospel, what did we eventually do? We called George Washington the father of our country. See Psalm 118:8-9 again. See what I mean? What did else did Jesus say: Anything my Father has not planted will be plucked up by the roots. Please see the parable at Ezekiel 17. What else did He say?

Mat 24:12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall WAX COLD.

Doing a search under EAGLE in my seminary concordance, I eventually came to this in the Greek (abbreviated):

#105 from #109 = to breath unconsciously, to blow, air. compare #5594: to breathe ....... reduction of temperature by evaporation [note: beating of wings], to chill, (fig.) to WAX COLD.

Coincidence? Remember what the first Israel said: We have no king but Caesar (his insignia; the EAGLE).

I'm just trying to say, as you well know, we are in a desperate situation, and we ought to be praying to the God of the Universe for help, and not offend Him by praying to that which is not God. This is the lesson of the past 6,000 years. See Psalm 118:8 again.

God Bless.

I will go put on my armour now to defend all the missiles which may be sent my way.

Your post is very good and informative, and you could never offend me if you are sincere and kind.

I did not pray to George Washington; I prayed to God.

I also asked George Washington to pray to God.

Once a priest said during the homily that we can ask our deceased relatives to pray to God on our behalf.

I say the rosary, but God comes first. God DESERVES to be first. He is our Creator and has blessed us.

Perhaps we have different religions.
