[QUOTE="Sketcher, post: 69466334, member: 27106"] Well, when I pray, I pray in faith that God hears me and will filter my request through his perfect wisdom and goodness, and has the power to do what I asked and more. They do what they do. I believe if I'm going to engage in speaking with someone in Heaven, it might as well be God himself. This idea of getting saints in Heaven to pray for you came from a time where if you petitioned the Emperor, it helped to have a friend in his court to help your case along. Jesus however, granted a direct line to the throne, so why beat around the bush. Yes, we have people on Earth pray for us. But that is just as much an opportunity for us to help each other. If I go to someone with a prayer request, maybe he's part of the answer to that prayer. That would be silly, yes. I'm not sure where I stand on that issue. Yeah, that story, as well as the Law made it plain that this was sin on his part. But what can that loved one do for you? Also, you said it's a one-way conversation - if you for sure hear something back, how do you account for it? [/QUOTE]
