"5For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,"
(1 Timothy 2:5). Lord Jesus said that we ask anything in His name......... We don't need to pray to anyone else. It would be like asking the receptionist at a building company to construct a 50 story skyscraper for you. What will she say? "I'll put you through to someone who can help".
Hebrews 7:25 "Therefore He is able to save completely those who draw near to God through Him, since He always lives to intercede for them." No mention of Mary or any other believer in heaven there. We can ask other Christians to pray for us also. That is stated in God's word. This is declared many times in God's word. Praying to dead people is never mentioned.

This practice came from Catholics back in Rome when Constantine made Christianity the official religion of Rome, which was in order to unify the country to try and save it from collapse. When the emperor did this, a bunch of pagans converted and brought bits and pieces of their previous religions with them and over a long period of time it became very perverted.
•candles
•praying to the dead
•a trinity of gods (God almighty, Mary, Jesus)
•Sun worship
•Celebration of Saturnalia(X-Mas)...fertility holiday of the goddess Ishtar (Easter)....Halloween (All saints day)
However God's grace and mysterious works can shine through anything and he has with the Catholic church, though it has many faults as man is in his nature, spread the knowledge of his son Jesus and the living word of God throughout the world.
Glory to God for working through evil and making good.

God, graciously, pulled me out of that huge pit. Some, sadly, have just moved to another position in that same pit, albeit looks a different and more inviting place. Some have been born into this pit, but outsiders will also be lured into it. It is a pit that will eventually close over and suffocate everyone that chooses to remain within it. This, you can be sure of. Write it down if you will, and see!
