OK, from what you said I can agree that an intercessor is different from the one mediator. Clearly, we pray for each other all the time, and this is good to God. So in that sense I can agree. Thanks for the explanation.
And, wouldn't you say there is quite a difference between asking a live friend to pray for you and asking a person who's been dead for hundreds of years to pray for you? You have said that the practice was done, but I don't see that as making it right. Indulgences were done too. Does the Bible support it, or is it fully a tradition? As I said in a post to Kosta (written after you wrote this post), why is praying to the dead for intercession necessary?
This is not a scriptural philosophy of death. Christ erased the barrier between life and afterlife and promised all who believe in Him, are baptised, and follow Him everlasting life. The clinical death of a saint has nothing to do with his ability to hear us and communicate with Christ.
Death does not separate us from the Love of Christ! We are alive in Christ, even more so, after our physical death. While our bodily senses see a difference between the two, our faith tells us that intercessionary prayers from heavenly saints are even more efficient than those from righteous saints on earth.
