The concept of praying to the saints, dates back to before the 1st century. That meaning persists.

Yet, we never see Paul, Peter, James, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, ever praying to Moses, Abraham, Isaac, etc.

Like those 7 churches (all Catholic I'm told) in Revelation did as well.

Why didn't ROME excise the first three chapters of that book John wrote is beyond me.

They CLEARLY show FALSE TEACHUNG was endemic in the 'church'!
