"Because God won't listen to you? Is God deaf? What was Jesus' example? What dead person did he ask to pray for Him?"

=============================================================

What living person did Jesus ask to pray for Him?    If none, does that mean we should not ask a living person to pray for us either (which the Bible actually tells us to do in several places)?

By the way, using that kind of specious logic, you would not read the Gospel of Luke, because you would demand that God write the Gospel to you directly, not using the middle-man Luke to write it for Him, unless you thought God cannot write.

“What was Jesus’ example? What dead person did he ask to pray for Him?””

“What living person did Jesus ask to pray for Him?”

I think either question is moot, since Christ certainly wouldn’t require anyone’s intercession with his own Father (nor should we with our Father, being adopted into the family, after all). A better question is, did any of the Apostles, or any believer in the New Testament seek intercession from angels, or the dead?
