Heb 12:1 does not mention praying to dead people or people in heaven. Hebrews 12 1 Therefore since we also are surrounded with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight and the sin which so easily besets us , and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, When I ask people to pray for me, I do not light a candle, I do not kneel before a statue of them. I do not bow my head and say oh blessed person hear my prayer. I do not pray to people to ask them to pray for me. Praying to saints as you do or as catholics do is idolatry. You have no idea how I ask the Saints for pray, so do not pretend to know. When you make a request of someone you are praying to them 4. to make earnest petition to (a person). 5. to make petition or entreaty for; crave http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/pray So yes you are praying to someone when you make a request. Christians do not die we go to our reward, we are still alive and form a great cloud of witnesses. I would say you need to work on your prepositions Especially if you desire the right direction on the pathway! Love, Steven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
