Necromancy is contacting the dead in order to know the future or the use of black magic. Intercessory prayer is neither of these.

As I noted on previous post, the Bible records in Rev 6 that heavenly saints intercede on behalf of earthly saints. but NOWHERE in Scripture does God record the affirmation of earthly saints talking or praying to anyone who has physically died EXCEPT to Christ Jesus.

So the angles are eavesdropping on our conversations to the Lord or are, against His will, receiving our prayers and offering them any way? Pretty sure all the rebel angels are in no position to intercede for anyone, not even their cast out selves.

You need to get over your view that those who are in heaven are dead, by your own admission and the witness of scripture, angels are not only alive in heaven, they intercede on behalf of the saints on earth,

Regarding angels - yes, they and saints in heaven (as far as I interpret from the scriptures) can “eavesdrop” on earthlings. That’s not the same thing as earthlings praying to them or talking to them. Neither angels nor saints in heaven can read the thoughts of earthlings, but angels (and perhaps saints in heaven) know about our prayers TO GOD. A Christian needs no other priest between him and God other than Christ Jesus and, in fact, a Christian CAN NOT have anyone else in that position.

An intercessor is not a mediator.
