>> like and angel can be present anywhere he wishes at once. Makes sense to believe that.<<

Show from scripture that an angel is omnipresent or is that another assumption?

>> Can you read?<<

Uh oh, there we go again!

>> The scripture says "prayers of saints" three times in these two passages<<

As previously shown, the saints are those who have accepted Christ as their savior. Notwithstanding the ill advised contention that they were “called to be saints”. If you believe Christ called us to believe on Him then you must also believe we were called to be saints. Once we do believe we are then saints. Those who have died and now are in heaven are praising Him. Not praying to Him.

CB – “we who have the privilege of going directly to the throne of God”

Annalex – “Yes, and we do, as FourtySeven testifies. We have been photographed doing it:”

So you think the Throne of God is at the front of the church building? Seriously? Scripture says it’s in heaven and has no earthly presence until after the tribulation.

LOL. For example, several times we read of angels sent by God to St. Joseph; to Mary; rolling back Christ's tombstone, ... -- you are not familiar with these? Or bringing prayers to God is something an angel is not capable of doing while rolling tombstones is? Note I did not say angels are omnipresent, but that they appear anywhere they wish or at least anywhere God sends them.

Notwithstanding the ill advised contention that they were “called to be saints”

You are starting to get comical. You argument here is with St. Paul, so if you think his writing was ill-advised, just ignore that part and leave me at peace. You are Protestant, and ignoring scripture you don't like is what makes you Protestant.

you think the Throne of God is at the front of the church building?

The throne of God is the Altar where He is; in front of the church building are steps and a door, usually.

(next posts) that is the most preposterous interpretation of that verse I have ever seen.

OK, I believe you. You were stunned by the word of God before on this thread. I suppose you can ignore that verse as well, -- Protestant method on display. However, one point: unlike you, I am Catholic; I do not interpret scripture, I explain it.
