Did you miss ALL of the quotes from Paul in post #112.
“... I think it is also worth your inquiry to find a direct command to Christians that they should pray to anther Christian or angel.

No. I read them all. We should invite other believers to pray for us. That does not make them “mediators” as the Bible uses the word. It makes them friends who come alongside.
Before you tell me that praying to departed saints is equal to asking a believer you know to pray for you, please note that the earth-bound believer can hear you, assuredly. The Scriptures never command or teach us to pray to a departed saint - nor do they indicate that the blessed departed saint can hear us.
Now, believe whatever you will. I’ve had a discussion to point out that the belief of praying to saints is without Biblical foundation and is made up out of whole cloth.
You can go boldly into the presence of God yourself and ask anything according to His will and He hears you and answers. You have Jesus Christ interceding for you. The Holy Spirit is praying for you, even when you don’t know how or what to pray.
