[Elsie]

There is no commandment, "Thou shalt not ask saints to pray for you." That is a man-made prohibition with no Scriptural authority behind it.

This from the fella that is part of an Organization that states:

"Thou shalt ask dead people, we now call saints, to pray for you." This is a Rome madeup teaching with no Scriptural authority behind it.

[Fedora]

"Thou shalt ask dead people, we now call saints, to pray for you." This is a Rome madeup teaching with no Scriptural authority behind it.

All the Middle Eastern, North African, and Eastern churches with roots in antiquity pray to saints, too, as did Jews to OT saints in late Judaism--hard to account for if Rome made it up. And I have already cited Scriptural references to the practice in Hebrews and Revelation.
