Yes we absolutely should pray to saints, for in order to be saved yourself you need to learn to be in the company of saints.


Two things.
First, I am in the company of saints every time I am in the company of living believers.
Second, where in His word am I instructed to pray to anyone other than God through Jesus? And if some other source told you otherwise, I ask a sincere question: Who told you that and why did you believe them?

Second, where in His word...

On second thought...

You are instructed to pray for others and to ask prayers of others. St. Paul does it all the time.

pray one for another, that you may be saved. For the continual prayer of a just man availeth much. (James 5:16)

You are under the counterscriptural illusion that mutual intercessions are restricted to people on earth. Not so: the saints have life everlasting.

This was discussed at great length already, in the first couple hundred posts. Why don't you try reading the thread from the beginning?
