No, noone but God can answer our prayers. And we don't need to have dead christians to entreat God for us because "Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God."
The Holy Spirit entreats the Father for us, this is why I have never understood praying to saints as if they can do a better job than the Holy Spirit himself.

I agree with Canadian, and God does say He shall not share His glory. In Revelation 22, John was rebuked for trying to worship an angel. Prayer is directed to the person or thing you have faith in, and as far as am concerned the disciples, saints and Mary where all mere humans like you and me.

We pray only to God the Father through our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is our mediator between God and ourselves. We do not need any other mediator. Jesus is the only mediator between man and God.

you shouldnt be praying to Jesus either...jesus himself said when you pray, pray to the father...mathew 6:9 this is how you should pray, our FATHER who art in heaven mathew 6:6 pray to your FATHER in private....nowhere in the bible does it say pray to Jesus. John 10:25 I do work in my FATHERS name....everything is for the father, Jesus died for our sins so we could get to heaven but He prayed to the Father and He also said repeatedly thats who we need to be praying to

Jesus taught His followers how to pray. Pray TO God, Himself. Through Jesus Christ, we're worthy to do that.

Pele joez el, gibbor abi, ad sar shalom, Those are three titles given by Isaiah for the child foretold to be born unto us, Jesus, Yeshua. They are the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. They are One. It is a great and wonderful mystery, not to be argued amongst the brethren, unless the mystery has been revealed, and it has not.

Jesus is our Intercessor, He taught us to pray to the Father in His name, sufficient for any to do, and, sufficient for any to understand.
To pray to, or even to bow to any other than our God is an abomination. See how Daniel and John were both told expressly by great angels of God to see to it they did not bow to them rather they should only Worhip God for they too were servants of the Most High.

If you read the Word, pray for faith to believe it, in the name, Yeshua, amen.

We dnt Need to Pray them , praise them and Worship them !
Do you confess that JESUS is Alive , JESUS says what you'll in My Names the Father will give it to you!


Many forget that even that saint was praying in the Names of JESUS and nothing else look at Paul or Peter in Act!

It is blasphemy to pray to any other, except to YHVH in the name of Yeshua/Jesus.

It's the first of the ten commandments: "Thou shalt not have other gods before me". There is NO ONE else we should be worshiping but God, our Father, the one who sent his Son to save us, the one who gives us breath, the one who enabled Jesus to perform miracles and do his purpose on earth. It is ok to praise Jesus, to be thankful of what he has done for us, but we must always revert back to that 1st commandment and remember that there is only one God, and as He said, He is a jealous God...

Mary is dead the saints are dead
Ecclesiastes 9:5-6
(5) For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten.
(6) Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now perished; neither have they any more a portion for ever in any thing that is done under the sun.

Praying is a form of worship, worship was created for God not for human beings. I would personally feel awkward if someone was praying to me, I would tell them to send their petitions directly to God alone .

HEY OFM: REALLY HAPPY THAT YOU ARE A PART OF THIS SITE. ONLY KNOWN YOU FOR A SHORT TIME BUT I FEEL REAL BROTHERLY LOVE FROM YOU, I"M SURE OTHERS FEEL IT TOO. YOU HAVE A KIND AND GENTLE SPIRIT AND STAY TENDER. I"M NOT SURE HOW TO REPLY TO THIS, PEOPLE CAN USE A POINT OF CONTACT TO EXTEND THEIR FAITH. PAUL AND SILUS USED PRAYER CLOTHS AS A POINT OF CONTACT. I KNOW THAT MY DAUGHTER HAS MADE A FEW COLORED WOOD NECKLACES WITH HEARTS ON IT. I USE THEM TO PRAY WITH, NOT NECESSARILY A ROSARY BEAD, BUT COULD BE THE SAME THING. I USE EACH WOODEN BEAD TO PRAY FOR A SPECIFIC REQUEST. I KNOW THAT WERE NOT TO HAVE IDOLS, AND PEOPLE UNAWARES CAN MAKE THEMSELVES IDOLS IN A LOT OF THINGS, CARS, CLOTHES, YOU NAME IT. ONE THING OFM IS WHAT I THINK IS WRONGE IS NOT A PIECE OF WOOD OR METAL, BUT THE ATTITUDE OF THE HEART. ONE CAN HAVE A EMPTY HOUSE, WITH NOTHING, AND AN EMPTY HEART. WITH NOTHING BUT A BIBLE AND YET NOT KNOWING WHAT CHRISTIAN REALLY MEANS. CHRISTIAN TO ME MEANS CHRIST LIKE, IT'S NOT AN ARROGANT SPIRIT, THINKING ONE IS BETTER THAN ANOTHER, WHETHER IN RACE, DENOMINATION, OR ATTIRE. THESE THINGS SHOULD NOT BE. WE ARE ONE BODY IN JESUS CHRIST, THOSE WHO ARE BORN AGAIN, AS I BELIEVE YOU ARE, REGARDLESS OF WHAT SIGN IS ON THE DOOR OF WORSHIP, WE ARE ONE IN CHRIST. JESUS OFTEN TALKED IN PARABLES, AND HERES ONE OF MY OWN. IF A PERSON LIVED ALONE, AND WAS NOT A CERTAIN DENOMINATION AS THE CHURCH NEXT DOOR. SHE HAD NO FAMILY, NO FRIENDS, NO CAR, AND SOMETIMES NO FOOD. THE CHURCH NEXT DOOR OFFERED FOOD BASKETS, AND HELP IN TRANSPORTATION AND OTHER THINGS. THE WOMEN CAN CONSIDER HERSELF BETTER MORE ARROGANT BECAUSE THIS IS NOT THE LABEL ON THE DOOR SHE WANTED THERE, OR SHE CAN RECONIZE, THE MEANING OF JESUS WORDS, WHAT SO EVER YOU HAVE DONE TO THE LEAST OF THESE YOU HAVE DONE IT TO ME, YOU HAVE VISITED ME, ETC. THIS WOMENS CHURCH 100 MILES AWAY DOES NEITHER. TRUE UNITY IN CHRIST, IS PUTTING ASIDE LITTLE DIFFERENCES AND MAGNIFYING OUR GOD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST, IT'S NOT MAGNIFYING PEOPLES DIFFEERENCES, AND THERE IS A FINE LINE BETWEEN LOVE AND HATE, IF YOU DON'T LOVE YOUR BROTHER, THERE IS NO INBETWEENS. YOU HAVE STEPPED OVER THE LINE ONTO THE DARK SIDE. MY MOTO IS THIS: IT'S NOT TO JUDGE ANOTHER IN WHAT BUILDING THEY ENTER TO WORHIP, FOR MAN LOOKS ON THE OUTSIDE APPEARANCE AND SOMETIMES WITH A MAGNIFYING LENS, OR BINOCULARS. LET'S BE THANKFULL WE HAVE A LOVING LORD AND SAVIOR AND A GOD THAT LOOKS ON THE HEART. I PERSONALLY DON'T CARE IF YOU HAVE A HUNDRED ROSARY BEADS AROUND YOU, AS LONG AS YOU HAVE THE LOVE OF THE LORD IN YOU, THIS IS THE PRICELESS TAG THAT COST JESUS. LOVE IN CHRIST KALYNA:):D
