The 24 elders. Looks like the living saints were praying to the saints in Heaven. Also, if Paul addresses one group of people, it doesn't mean others don't also exist in full communion. Also, royal class, not sure how adrei is doing a great service when he's typing "hahaha"s deleting previous post and grasping for anything.

Furthermore I suggest you read the epistles of Paul in which at the beginning of the letters he addressed them 'To all the SAINTS in Christ Jesus'. The 'saints' as he called them are people who are still alive on earth! So in reference to the verses you mentioned (Rom 8:27, Rev 5:8, Rev 8:3-5) the 'prayers of the saints' are the prayers of living saints on earth to God almighty!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04893475258911320957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4999044146888823867.post-3732989116380175262014-02-16T04:46:03.255-06:002014-02-16T04:46:03.255-06:00Andrei...You are very wise and doing a great servi...Andrei...You are very wise and doing a great service to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04893475258911320957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4999044146888823867.post-76335560356185123522013-07-18T01:47:38.886-05:002013-07-18T01:47:38.886-05:00The point catholics want to make is Mary is suprem...The point catholics want to make is Mary is supreme than Jesus, that she hears more prayers than Jesus and more understanding as our biological mothers are. What does it matter to God whether she didnt remain a virgin? God chose Mary to be Jesus' earthly mother, she was not his spiritual mother. Jesus never gave importance to her throughout his life. Matthew 12:46-48 states <br /><br />46 While Jesus was still talking to the crowd, his mother and brothers stood outside, wanting to speak to him. 47 Someone told him, “Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to speak to you.”<br /><br />48 He replied to him, “Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?” 49 Pointing to his disciples, he said, “Here are my mother and my brothers. 50 For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.”Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13081498822179223502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4999044146888823867.post-35402575934129313792013-01-02T10:51:04.260-06:002013-01-02T10:51:04.260-06:00No ! it must NOT, praying only to God, because the...No ! it must NOT, praying only to God, because the intercession, prayers & demands of saints is also accepted by God, such as praying to the blessed saint Mary the virgin.<br />Hopefully, read these verses: Acts 10:4, Romans 8:27, Revelation 5:8 & Revelation 8:3-5 !! ................<br />To the Blessed Mary:<br /><br />We turned our backs on you, Virgin Mary,<br />And respected you less than a rag doll from a fair;<br />In the blazing light of Christ and his eternal radiance<br />Our eyes were blinded to your great part. <br /><br />Your sincerity we doubted a hundred times, yes, <br />And we treated you like some cheap local girl. <br />We had forgotten that you were God’s means <br />To place his only son among the living. <br /><br />Your sleepless nights, who has counted them?<br />Your son was mocked, yet you loved Him more, <br />And no one but He and you can really know <br />What anguish was yours on Calvary. <br /><br />Listen to us tonight in your heaven above,<br />Accept your due respect, holy virgin,<br />And forgive now every disrespectful word<br />That came from our lips, O Blessed Mary. <br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03290605416685303841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4999044146888823867.post-40341803281726894892013-01-02T10:39:33.735-06:002013-01-02T10:39:33.735-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03290605416685303841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4999044146888823867.post-86766614656021189292013-01-02T00:52:08.734-06:002013-01-02T00:52:08.734-06:00and excuse me, (spiritual realms) only God has the...and excuse me, (spiritual realms) only God has the authority to forgive sins..Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07785585918102133828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4999044146888823867.post-28525397019619773772013-01-02T00:50:33.119-06:002013-01-02T00:50:33.119-06:00our Prayer MUST directly ONLY to GOD! as King Davi...our Prayer MUST directly ONLY to GOD! as King David...<br /><br />Ps 5:1-3<br />Give ear to my words, O LORD,<br />Consider my meditation. <br />2 Give heed to the voice of my cry,<br />My King and my God,<br />For to You I will pray. <br />3 My voice You shall hear in the morning, O LORD;<br />In the morning I will DIRECT it to You,<br />And I will look up.<br /><br />O God, we're so sorry we addressed our prayers to other entity and not to YOU alone.. in Jesus name, amen.. peace.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07785585918102133828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4999044146888823867.post-28180763917670059122013-01-02T00:42:16.572-06:002013-01-02T00:42:16.572-06:00hahaha... never connected to marry.. these describ...hahaha... never connected to marry.. these describes the church of CHRIST. Christ's heart is upon his church; his treasure is therein; and he delights in the affection she has for him; its working in the heart, and its works in the life. The odours wherewith the spouse is perfumed, are as the gifts and graces of the Spirit. Love and obedience to God are more pleasing to Christ than sacrifice or incense. Christ having put upon his spouse the white raiment of his own righteousness, and the righteousness of saints, and perfumed it with holy joy and comfort, he is well pleased with it. And Christ walks in his garden unseen. A hedge of protection is made around, which all the powers of darkness cannot break through. The souls of believers are as gardens enclosed, where is a well of living water, ( John 4:14 , John 7:38 ) , the influences of the Holy Spirit. The world knows not these wells of salvation, nor can any opposer corrupt this fountain.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07785585918102133828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4999044146888823867.post-7165107241368558052013-01-02T00:33:17.542-06:002013-01-02T00:33:17.542-06:00Matt 13:54-58

His wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth. 6 And they were both RIGHTEOUS before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless. if you continue reading, God gave them a son named John - the baptist..<br /><br />and JOSEPH AND MARY are typically lovers and they wanted marriage as we are mortals.... goodness! what is not righteous before God is when you are both are not married!<br /><br />Heb 13:4-5<br />4 Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept PURE, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral.<br /><br />2ndly, PROOF that they are lovers and when Joseph found out that she's with child, his reaction was he wanted to get out from their commitment for each other and from her! we can read this in matthew 1:18-19 (even me of course if I found out that my lover who's still a virgin suddenly with child, oh my I'll FREAK OUT!) but Joseph took heed what the angels told him and he took Mary as his wife...<br /><br />3rdly, after their firstborn Jesus was born (there is a second, third, fourth kids and so on..) and Mary still "Pure" because God honored their union!<br /><br />Matt 13:54-58<br />And when He had come to His own country, He taught them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished and said, "Where did this Man get this wisdom and these mighty works?<br /><br />55 Is this not the carpenter's son?

[While I sensed a bit of sincerity in your comment, I also sensed a, "Well I got 'apostolic succession'" sarcasm, no?] That said, as someone given a Charisma of discerning spirits (Glory to God!), I'll say this: Paul says that if you preach a gospel that has not been preached (emphasis on past tense), then you'd be eternally condemned. Is there anything in Scripture BEFORE he penned "preached" that urges praying to any other than to the Father in Jesus' name or to Jesus, himself? The answer is a big NO. (And don't say, "I can ask you to pray for me." You know I mean the unseen. And concerning the unseen, don't say, "I can ask someone on the net to pray for me." Again, you know what I mean.) And that said, I know which religion is for sure NOT the truth: Catholicism and her daughters. Trust Christ. He'll show you all truth.

Surely it is not some private revelation of your own which predisposes only you to see such "truths."
