Since God is Omnipotent then how does intercession help?

Question

God is fully aware of what we do and why we do it?He knows our intentions no matter how hard we try to hide it.Then why do some still believe that intercession is gona save us at Judgement day? Why are some praying to saints, angels, etc. to pray for them in heaven?We should go straight to God and ask for forgiveness.

Answer 1

What makes you think that God sees anything about you that requires forgiveness. Nothing but nonsense you were told as a child.

God is not incompetent. She created you perfect just the way that you are. You are not more powerful than God, so nothing that you do can change what God made perfect in any way.

Forget all the nonsense you were told as a child for a moment and just think about what you just read.

Christianity would have us believe that we are so much more powerful than God that we can change what She has created perfect into something imperfect.

Sounds like simple nonsense when you look at it logically doesn't it?

Answer 2

No where in the Bible are we told to pray to either Saints or Angels. We are told not to bow to or pray to Angels. Praying Directly to the Father option was lost in the garden of Eden. Per the Christ...None may come to the Father but by the Son. We pray for intercession within Gods will. Predestination will prove out. He knew who we would pray for.

Answer 3

Intercession won't get us to Heaven, only faith, in knowing Jesus. "no one comes to the father except by me..".
To me, praying to saints would be wrong. Jesus gave us an example of how to pray as in the Lords Prayer. We aren't to pray in vain repetitions as the heathen, and when we pray, pray to the Father and ask in Jesus' name.

Those praying to anyone other than the father have made a serious error and need to study the Bible themselves and see it.
As it is written is appointed for man once to die, and then judgment. So after death, there is no changing anything. Our prayers, or whatever won't make any difference, that is why it is so important to win the lost now.

Cheymain,

Good question. As you say, God fills all of Heaven and Earth. The night, is as the day to Him, and He knows all the thoughts of mankind. Of course, there is more than one kind of intercession. For those who are asleep (deceased), awaiting the judgment, what is done, is done. We are given the opportunity to choose God, as our Father during our lifetime. If we fail to do so, we are, by default, the child of darkness, and that is our reward. However, we are in fact instructed by Jesus to intercede for others in prayer, while they are alive. In fact, He commands His followers to pray for their enemies, and in this way, they become perfect, even as our Father is perfect. I have seen lives changed because of prayers offered up for the salvation of those who are still in the flesh. I believe that God already knows who will choose Him, and who will not, no matter what. I think that we are allowed to participate in the saving of others, by praying for them. If I may quote, "Prayer is not the preparation for the work, prayer IS the work". throughout the scriptures, we see God's people being delivered through the prayers of the faithful and righteous ones. While the Bible makes it clear, that God does not hear the prayers of sinners, He loves it when His children pray, particularly when it is for the benefit of others, and not our needs. There is one exception to the rule about not hearing the prayers of sinners. When they have realized that they are among the living dead, and come to God as humble children, and seek His Spirit. That is perhaps His favorite prayer of all.

Answer 5

I don't have my Bible in front of me right now, but I do know that God said that we should not cease in praying and that we should continuously be praying. I do not believe in praying to angels or saints, but I do not down anyone who does. It's just that God said in his word that we are to worship him in spirit and in truth and he also said that we should pray a certain way to the father in heaven, and that is: our father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day, our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever, amen.

Be Blessed!

Answer 6

The only way to God the Father is through Jesus the Son.

Answer 7

I have been asking that question for years!!! As believers, we have a direct line to God without going through dead people. Jesus Himself said "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."

If we need to pray to dead people or angels, then Jesus dying on the cross was unnecessary! Jesus died for our sins, no one else did!

Answer 8

Even though the Koran gives over 90 suras to confirm this, after Prophet Mohammed's death, successors who struggled to have their opinions injected in the Holy Koran, tried to water down what the prophet taught. By not putting the prophet's words in red, people must feel that everything in the Koran are the words of the prophet himself.
The Torah gives over 300 prophecies to affirm what I will tell you; the word of God is specific: There is one intercessor between God and man--Christ Jesus, the Messiah. Jeshua transformed the Hebrew feasts into living sacrifices acceptable unto God. He became the scapegoat sacrifice. He became the first fruit on First fruits day. He became the sacrificial lamb as per Isaiah 53. He became the Shabbat, Purim, Pentecost and much more.
Remember that Rome was a Gentile nation. In previewing that Rebecca, Gentile seed-incubator would change the appearance of the seed heir, the Gentile Rebecca church would not only change the appearance of Jeshua, but his teachings as well.
God's word says: “To the Jews, (not Romans) were committed the oracles of God.” The Hebrew language is prophetic; their feasts are prophetic. Gentile Rome knew not the significance of those sacred feasts and had no one to teach them. So by the time they accepted Christianity, they fulfilled the prophecy of the Messiah’s house--previewed in Solomon's Temple. Profane hands would be allowed to touch the third tier of the temple. It came to pass that by the third century, Gentiles were allowed to come into God's sacred house as per Isaiah 11:10 - And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious. The arrogance of Rome manifest even today in their teachings. God says in Romans 3; 23, that "All have sinned and fallen short." Simon Bar Jonah, the Apostle who was subordinate to James the head of the Jerusalem church--he erred in the circumcision issue. He denied Jeshua and had to be forgiven. They are the only people eon earth according to their exclusive revelation that have no sin--they are infallible. That is why it took 1800 years --the 18 esoteric years of Jeshua's concealment) for those spirits to be purged from the Messiah's church to bring forth the Pentecostal leaves. Revelation 18 tells us what will happen to the spirit that martyred and led astray God's people. Even the geographic details of her headquarters were sketched in detail, only recently have books began to connect the dots to unravel the extent of Satan’s damage to the Messiah's legacy--in fulfillment of "every stone will be thrown down."
There are new books that release fresh revelations including the prophecies showing roots of the Arab/Israeli conflicts that are unfolding as we speak. Check out :www.trafford.com/04-2126, and www.strangdirect.com/xcart/pro...
