When I asked my follow up question, the link wasn't visible to me. Thanks for that. I read it and the scripture the writer is using as proof text. However, I don't believe that the text says what he suggests. At all. Yes, God can do anything. But there is no biblical support for the idea that He parcels out prayer requests and allows angels or anybody else to hear and / or answer them. I appreciate you trying though.
I just gave you one link about Saints. Here is another that actually gives you the biblical references for why Catholics pray to saints: https://www.ncregister.com/blog/4-biblical-proofs-for-prayers-to-saints-and-for-the-dead
There are many others if you try want to delve into it. I am no theologian so I cannot draw you to biblical references. I do know there are more books in a Catholic bible than a Protestant one, however.
Being raised Catholic I never questioned it. Itโs tradition. We celebrate All Soulsโ Day and All Saintsโ Day. And everyone who goes to Heaven becomes a saint.
Some lived lives that the Catholic Church recognizes.
Again we do not worship them nor do we worship their statues.
Just so you know praying to saints dates way back to the very early church. And the first Christian Church was Roman Catholic.
Thank you. This is the most helpful thing I've seen. I'll delve into it more in depth when I have time. The first example of the rich man and Abraham makes me wonder about the dead communicating with the dead. By that I mean, perhaps once dead, a soul in hell can communicate with a soul in heaven. But does that mean a live person can communicate with a dead person? Again, I'll look into it more because I know there were more examples given in the article. I appreciate the answer!
Youโre welcome. I have to do my own research onto it.
Been taking bible study with a group of other women from other denominations. So itโs useful to learn how to justify my own faith as it relates to the Bible.
