Wel...
It is called the "communion of the saints." We we are made heirs with Christ we are made sons and daughters of God. Not only do we have a heavenly Father but also a Mother and brothers and sisters.
It is common for Christians to ask other Christians to pray for them. I might ask my co-worker to pray for me if I am sick etc.
Well, we believe that our brothers and sisters who have passed away aren't dead at all but are alive and in communion with God. Why would I stop asking for my brothers and sisters to pray for me simply because their phycial bodies ceased breathing?
Quote:Why dont you read what the Bible teaches regarding worship and honoring other than God?
A) You sound like a "Bible Alone" Protestant. What is the bible Wel? You are trying to use the bible in this case to back up your false notions. It is funny that you now try to use it as an authorotative voice because before on this very board you have tried to discredit it and claim that it is not inspired! Which is it?
B) But since you asked...here is some scripture on the communion of saints...
Commuion of the Saints and the scriptures
Mary the Mother of God and the scriptures
