Answer 2

You don't need a verse from the Bible requiring you to pray. You are free to pray to anyone you like. Now shut up and let someone of intelligence ask a question.

Answer 3

No.

Prayer to the saints is optional not required.

Before Jesus Christ died for our sins and opened the gates of heaven there were no saints in heaven. Therefore there are no Old Testament writings that would mention them.

Very few of the new Christians died before most of the New Testament was written. Therefore there is little in the Bible about asking saints to pray for us.

However the last book of the Bible does talk about the saints in heaven praying.

Revelation 5:8: Each of the elders held a harp and gold bowls filled with incense, which are the prayers of the holy ones.

Revelation 8:3-4: He was given a great quantity of incense to offer, along with the prayers of all the holy ones, on the gold altar that was before the throne. The smoke of the incense along with the prayers of the holy ones went up before God from the hand of the angel.

The Holy Spirit guided the early Church in many things not explained in the Bible including how does the Body of Christ (believers) living on Earth relate to the Body of Christ (saints) living in heaven. We are still one Body.

Catholics share the belief in the Communion of Saints with many other Christians, including the Eastern Orthodox, Anglican, Episcopal, and Methodist Churches.

The Communion of Saints is the belief where all saints are intimately related in the Body of Christ, a family. When you die and go to heaven, you do not leave this family.

Everyone in heaven or on their way to heaven are saints, you, me, my deceased grandmother, Mary the mother of Jesus, Mother Teresa and Pope John Paul II.

As part of this family, you may ask your family and friends living here on earth to pray for you. Or, you may also ask the Blessed Virgin Mary, Saint Andrew, or your deceased grandmother living in heaven to pray for you.

Prayer to saints in heaven is simple communication, not worship.

And prayer to the saints is optional not required.

With love in Christ.

Answer 4

What do you mean by the 'Catholic Bible'? Catholics are Chrisitans therefore use the same Bible as Protestants. It does not say in the Bible to pray to Mary however Catholics choose to because they repsect and revere her and see her as being closer to God.

Answer 5

No Catholic is required to pray to Mary. So your attempt at dispute holds no water.

Answer 6

The word pray comes from the word for request, and request is one of the meanings of the word pray. James 5:16 says to "pray for one another", so we request that Mary pray for us, and intercede for us as she did at the wedding in Cana (John 2:3-5).

Answer 7

No but they always seem to call out to her to pray for them making Jesus null and void in what he did for all of us! Mary wasn't any better than the rest of us but GOD knew that her and Joesph would keep to the law and tradition for the perfect up bringing for his son! Also many women of the day weren't virgins and clean and holy in the site of GOD! For this reason she was chosen!

Answer 8

Nobody prays TO Mary; they ask for her prayers. Christians are always asking for prayers---I see it all the time.

Answer 9

because of the fact Jesus in no way provides a definitive answer. And he did seem to delegate somewhat authority whilst he mentioned, "Whose sins you forgive would be forgiven." He even remarked that forgiving sins is plenty greater handy than curing the ill and infirm. interior the early Church, the undertaking of forgiveness did no longer arise till Christ not on time his return long adequate for it to be a undertaking. below threat of persecution, many Christians apostasized, then tried to rejoin the religion community later. people who caught the persecution out have been somewhat perturbed and would not enable readmittance with out public confession and a few extreme penitence. The employment of clergymen and private confession replaced into seen a gracious version after the threat of persecution diminished. As for praying to saints, this grew out of the persecution as properly. you would be able to keep in mind a passage wherein Paul reassures grieving Christians that their acquaintances and families who've died won't omit the final resurrection. Martyrs got here to be considered as heroes, exemplars and persevering with members of the community of "saints", the two worth of honor and able to consistent to wish for others. In 2 Timothy a million:sixteen-18, Paul expresses prayers for one Onesiphoros, to whom he refers interior the previous demanding. In 2 Timothy 4:19, he sends greetings to the "homestead" of Onesiphorus, implying that Onesiphorus is ineffective, and that prayers for the ineffective have been consumer-friendly in his day. There are additionally old testomony passages approximately prayer for the ineffective, or there have been till Martin Luther decrease various books out of the Bible. (2 Maccabees 12 is fantastically unambiguous.) And if the residing saints ought to wish for the ineffective, it replaced right into a organic progression to anticipate the ineffective saints ought to wish for the residing, considering they have been all of one communion. The early Church theory as a community, no longer with the individualistic, "vertical" spirituality of later years. "I" am no longer "saved", "we" are the "physique of Christ".

Jer 44:17-25
17 But we will certainly do whatsoever thing goeth forth out of our own mouth, to burn incense unto the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her, as we have done, we, and our fathers, our kings, and our princes, in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem: for then had we plenty of victuals, and were well, and saw no evil.
18 But since we left off to burn incense to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her, we have wanted all things, and have been consumed by the sword and by the famine.
19 And when we burned incense to the queen of heaven, and poured out drink offerings unto her, did we make her cakes to worship her, and pour out drink offerings unto her, without our men?
20 Then Jeremiah said unto all the people, to the men, and to the women, and to all the people which had given him that answer, saying,
21 The incense that ye burned in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, ye, and your fathers, your kings, and your princes, and the people of the land, did not the LORD remember them, and came it not into his mind?
22 So that the LORD could no longer bear, because of the evil of your doings, and because of the abominations which ye have committed; therefore is your land a desolation, and an astonishment, and a curse, without an inhabitant, as at this day.
23 Because ye have burned incense, and because ye have sinned against the LORD, and have not obeyed the voice of the LORD, nor walked in his law, nor in his statutes, nor in his testimonies; therefore this evil is happened unto you, as at this day.
24 Moreover Jeremiah said unto all the people, and to all the women, Hear the word of the LORD, all Judah that are in the land of Egypt:
25 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, saying; Ye and your wives have both spoken with your mouths, and fulfilled with your hand, saying, We will surely perform our vows that we have vowed, to burn incense to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her: ye will surely accomplish your
