[Mrs. Don-o]

Ypu've never asked a friend to pray to God for healing?

What do you think "praying to saints" means? It means exactly that: asking a fellow "saint" to pray to God! God does the healing. Surely you know that.

1. No verse in the Bible encourages asking departed saints to pray for us.

2. No evidence exists [that I’ve seen] that this was an Apostolic practice during lives of the original Apostles.

3. No evidence exists that departed saints can hear you when you give them a shout.

As such, I can only conclude this is an accretion, added hundreds of years later, but was never part of the Church.

Can you please show me one example in Holy Scripture where Jesus prayed to anyone other than His father? How about the apostles? Look I am open to understanding but I need biblical examples not the tradition of man.
