“Why wouldn’t such great and holy men be interceding for us now...”
And yet, this remains an argument from silence.
Further, it assumes they possess some access or power in prayer that every Christian does not have. This is false.
This is false.

Wouldn’t that actually be an assumption on your part too then...particularly given what transpired at the Transfiguration?
I can pray to the Son of God who sits at the right hand of God and possesses all the powers of Heaven.
Why pray to a sinner who was only saved by the blood of Jesus?
