The Bible nowhere instructs believers in Christ to pray to anyone other than God.
The Bible nowhere encourages or even MENTIONS believers asking individuals in Heaven for their prayers.
Some believe that those who are glorified in Heaven have MORE "direct access" to God than we do.
Therefore, if a saint delivers a prayer to God on our behalf, it is MORE effective than us praying to God directly.
This concept is blatantly un-Biblical.
Hebrews 4:16 tells us that we, believers here on earth, can "approach the throne of grace with confidence."
My dear sisters and brothers, what is your opinion/view on this?
