Whether we call it "praying to" or "praying for" or "praying about," praying does not mean "adoration." All the ways we share our spiritual gifts in the Communion of Saints can be called "praying."

It's not what you say about it that matters...It's what you do...We see what you do so it doesn't matter what you say because while you say you don't worship these creatures we see you worshiping and giving glory to them...

Yours is a particularly adversarial tone that I find incompatible with a discussion of God.

I remind you that at Jesus’ Transfiguration (Matthew 17:1–9, Mark 9:2-8, Luke 9:28–36 and 2 Peter 1:16–18) both Moses and Elijah appeared to and spoke with the human nature of Jesus. Scripture also refers to many who are alive in Christ. Asking them to intercede on our behalf is not sinful or unprecedented.

Fortunately for Mrs. Don-o, what you seeth is not what God seeth. As the Lord said to Samuel: “the Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart.”

So it’s not what you or any other man thinks they see from outward appearance, it’s what God sees in our hearts.
