And my comment proved your assertion false. I went on to show that Scripture FORBIDS necromancy, or communication with the dead.
Those who seek to communicate with those who have died receive terrible punishment. But you go ahead and speak with those who’ve died. Good luck with that.
Again, Scripture CLEARLY forbids “praying” to anyone who has died, be they a saint or a sinner.
Actually you are wrong. The Bible forbids the calling up of the dead in order that they may foretell your future. That is what Necromancy means. It and all other forms of fortune telling are forbidden in Scripture. Asking those who are heaven to pray to us to the Triune God is not the same thing at all. Since we do know that the Saints are always praying before the throne of heaven. They even plead the case of those being martyred for the faith.
Scripture forbids necromancy. Necromancy is a form of sorcery used to summon spirits from the underworld (Sheol) to ask them to reveal the future for the sorcerer’s benefit - usually for a fee. That is why it is forbidden for a Christian to go to a fortuneteller. These spirits are usually demons, or a soul in hell who is doing the will of demons. Souls in hell are at the complete bidding of the evil ones, they have lost their free will.
Prayer to the saints has nothing to do with necromancy.
The saints are not dead, I repeat, the saints are not dead!
see Mark 12:26-27. The saints in heaven are alive and we can talk to them and they can intercede for us because they are alive in Christ. see Rev 6: 9-11
