"What you wrote was false, demonstrably so; your comment contained no qualification about heaven, earth, hades, or gehenna. Further, you made no qualification that it had to be a scripture you personally believed in. You simply wrote: No Jewish or Christian prayer is ever recorded in Scripture that addresses anyone but God. I provided a scripture from Luke, King James Version, that met all the criteria in your post number 9. "

Your self-congratulations aside, you failed. Doubling down on grandiose claims while ignoring your failure is another failure af.

It was not a prayer.

It was not a prayer.

    False; a prayer is a petition or request. The rich man made two prayers. The answer to both prayers was no.
  1. And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.
  2. Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house: For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.

This is why you must be precise, for what you said was “No Jewish or Christian prayer is ever recorded in Scripture that addresses anyone but God,” but you left out prayer “to Heaven,” thus allowing Caths to invoke communication btwn persons in the same realm as support for praying to them in Heaven, which the Spirit of God only shows being made to God, and Christ as the only heavenly intercessor btwn God and man. (1Tim. 2:5) Thus communication btwn persons in the same realm is not the same thing, but it is all Caths can come up with.
