I once read some Catholics talking about how when Christ was on the cross, some bystanders thought He was crying out to Elijah, which shows that evoking saints was common practice.

1 Corinthians 6:19King James Version (KJV)Nowhere in the Bible does it say taking heroin is bad.
Not all truth is in the Bible.
Nobody worships saints.
Cherry picking?Thanks for cherry picking and proving my point.
As I have posted before... they are not receiving prayers to themselves, addressed to them, or anything else. They are simply taking the prayers, that are addressed to Christ, to Christ....It' all over the 72 books, though. Psalms 141:2, for example, shows the prayers as incense, and Revelation several places shows that the saints in heaven take that prayer-as-incense-to God.
Unbiblical things were common practice back then. That's why Christ was hated by the high priests. He showed them to be wrong.I once read some Catholics talking about how when Christ was on the cross, some bystanders thought He was crying out to Elijah, which shows that evoking saints was common practice.

I made three statements. He responded to one. That's cherry picking.Cherry picking?
Is that not where you take a bit of text and leave out parts that would contradict the point you are trying to make.
This is not cherry picking here. This is simple and directly quoting of the word of God to make a point.
Do we need to post the entire chapter? Book? Testament? Just how much would indicate "NOT" cherry picking.
I see that people use this "cherry picking" insult when they have just been shot down out of the sky, crashed and burned with no parachute.
Uh huh. Except there's no error.Maybe he's waiting for you to understand your error on the first one before he moves onto the other two?
Sorry, my bad, understood.I made three statements. He responded to one. That's cherry picking.
