So you do accept that if Lurking prays for you God will hear it. But this is not possible if Jesus is your only mediator. God will only hear your prayers through Jesus, and not objecting to that attempt at mediation is an insult to the one true Mediator, Jesus.

It seems like your only objection, then, is to asking the dead to pray for us, not Mary in particular. You accept that living mediators other than Jesus can and should pray for you and believe God hears them.

We believe there are Saints who have already received their reward in heaven, such as the good thief, and that since they are part of the body of Christ in Heaven they have a connection to the power of God and can hear us. How much closer to God are our requests if they go through them as opposed to through living sinners still on earth?

We are closer to God than they...Our prayers don't go to heaven...God is within us...Our prayers don't even have to leave our body...

But you just wrote...

God worked His power through her, and He is unlimited in what He can continue to do through her, or any of us.

Do you conjure up these unbiblcal scenarios on your own; or were you taught them?
