A human with Godlike powers which has no Scriptural support but is given by the RCC.
Right...
It is generally a good idea to figure out what is it that you post about before you post. So, figure out what sainthood is, then post. Please. Both I and your readers are busy people and have no time for ignorant stupidities.
I'm sure GeronL knows quite well what a saint is. Do YOU?
Scripturally, a saint is a believer in Christ. Not someone special the RCC has canonized, making the RCC respecters of persons, which is a sin according to the book of James, the Catholics favorite book of the Bible considering how much they quote it and defend it.
In St. Paul's usage, indeed we cannot discern a more narrow meaning. However, in the practice of the Church, saints are those who by their works of faith became an example of others; to them we direct intercessory prayers. They do not have godlike powers though. You can pray to anyone who dies a good death and you personally believe them to be in the company of Christ. The canonized saints are those who the Church believes to be a good example of faith to others, but you may pray to any saint, -- this is how veneration of any saint starts.
