I'm glad you're reading Timothy 2:5-6. While you're at it, maybe you could read Timothy 2:1-4, which is right before it.

"First of all, then, I ask that supplications, petitions, and thanksgiving be offered for everyone, for kings and all in authority, that we may lead a quiet and tranquil life in all devotion and dignity. This is good and pleasing to God our savior, who wills everyone to be saved, and to come to knowledge of the truth."

If God wants us to pray for others while we're on earth, why aren't we allowed to pray for others while we're in heaven? Personally, I see no problem with living fraternity with the saints in heaven. Are you planning on being a loner in heaven?

I always find it interesting that many Bible only Protestants have a bad habit of quoting the verse they like and pretending the one preceding it and the one following it don't exist.

Bump. Details, details.

That's not the issue. It is supplication being offered TO the saints, not BY them. As I posted before, there is ONLY ONE mediator between God and Man: Jesus Christ.

"Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." John 14:6

"When men tell you to consult mediums and spiritists, who whisper and mutter, should not a people inquire of their God? Why consult the dead on behalf of the living?" Isaiah 8:19 (emphasis mine)

I assure you, I do not plan to spend eternity in a glorified monastary cell. Hope to see you there.
