“What is your example/reference/support for doing that? Yes I have asked people to pray for me, but not dead people!!!!”
It’s in all 4 Gospels.
Luke 20:37-8
“They are God’s children, since they are children of the resurrection. But in the account of the burning bush, even Moses showed that the dead rise, for he calls the Lord ‘the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’ He is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for to him all are alive.”
That’s a huge reach though. It doesn’t say you can pray to people. It says to GOD all are alive, not to YOU!
