“receiving and commiunicating “the prayers of the saints” ascending from earth as incense. “
Dude, you keep adding things not ther.
No where does it say the elders “received” prayers. You made that up.
Nowhere does it say the elders “communicated” prayers. You made that up.
Nowhere does it say the saints were on earth. You made that up.
Bro you made it all up when you couldn’t find a single verse to back up your claims. No even one verse to back up a pagan practice. Not a single verse that says what you claimed.
There are more than 30,000 verses in the Bible, but you haven’t found one yet.
Yet you still want to do as the pagans. You might ask why you can’t find a verse to support this practice.
Just like HC, deny and deny that doesn’t meet your story.
Keep trying msybe you will understand it one day.
