Prayers to the Saints is a Christian practice.
indeed it is. Some Christians do it. So is closed communion, so is speaking in tongues. likewise, so is lying, cheating, stealing, and adultery. Christian "practice" many many things that they shouldn't do, along with the things that they should. Christians have "practiced" so many different things, that any one group who claims "we follow Christian practice" should be answered with "so what?"
Those that do not are just not accepting a Christian practice and have accepted a non-christian innovation.

Peace
if you say so Lion. although, I don't see the "innovation" of praying to God, and omitting the passed on. Praying to God has pretty much been there from the start.


The lion has roared. Discussion over.
indeed.

Yeah. Then the atheists ask "why is there still death then"? ^_^

And how come we have to wait for "Gog-Magog" before death and hades are cast into the lake of fire :confused:

Reve 1:18 and the living One! And I became dead, and behold, I am living into the Ages of the Ages, and I am having the Keys of the Hades and of the Death [Hosea 13:14]

Reve 20:14 And the Death and the Hades were cast into the Lake of the Fire. This is the Second Death.

It's not only just one group. It has been a Christian practice from very ancient times.

It's not a case of either, or.

All prayer is of and to God. Including asking the Saints to pray with and for us. It's not a case of either one asking only those here on earth for prayer and not the Saints. Or asking the Saints and not those on earth. or praying directly to God through Jesus.

The innovation is not partaking of the whole Body of Christ.

just because it has been done for a long time and is part of tradition does not make it right, or scriptural

Tradition is the faith delivered to the saints.

So yes it is right and Scriptural.

Regardless of those that disagree with it.

In other words, it's right, because we say it's right. It doesn't matter if it's not in scripture, it's scriptural, so there. (insert neener neener neener here.)

No it's right because it's what has been taught by Jesus and the Apostles.

That's what makes it Scriptural and Scripture has been provided.

Then you can verbatim quote Jesus and at least 2 of the 13 Apostles.

Go ahead. Be sure to reference the quotes.




Thank you!
