How do you know for sure you're a saint? Don't you think there's a little more to sainthood that separates them from the other sinners of the world? I haven't met a Christian who doesn't sin when I know for a fact that saints can't sin.
I am a saint according to the Word of God, yet I live.; But the life I live in the flesh, is Christ Jesus living in me... I walk in the Spirit and not in the flesh..... The bible does not say that saints never sinned.... do you know everything the popes has done in their entire life time? NO YOU DON"T... and from what I know about the history of the catholic sec. they were evil them and they are still evil now.... there is no conviction... cause they think pergatory is there way to heaven no matter how they live in the earth.....
Christ Jesus is my righteousness; their is many people who are without sinning in their flesh, Yet they are going to hell. I will post the Word of God.... None of these scriptures are talking about DEAD people. They are called the saints of God and they are still ALIVE!!! On the earth. And No where does it say the saints are prayed to.... BUT SAINTS PRAY FOR EACH OTHER... no need to pray for the dead nor to the dead.
John 16......23And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you.
24Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.
26At that day ye shall ask in my name: and I say not unto you, that I will pray the Father for you: 27For the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God. We are to ask God in Jesus name, We don't need noone asking for us... Jesus said he will not even have to ask for us, because GOD LOVES US HIMSELF. So what is the reason we think we need Mary, or the Apostles or anyone to ask or pray to God for us while they are in heaven or hell?
