Yes, pretty much. I was raised Catholic and to be honest, all those statues scared me as a girl.

Hi John! From what I have read in Ecc. 9, we all have the same destiny, both good and evil. Yes, we will die physically but we will all live somewhere in eternity...whether it be heaven or hell with the un-righteous and Satan and his demons and the beast or...just, poof - gone as in at least...

Oh definitely we are to always pray for one another! And, I sure do covet the prayers of others, more than anything. When have no words: "In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless...

Hi Pat, I think this has gone over heads or just something some will not let go of? Stuff like this is so simple to understand yet...some just hang onto praying to those who have passed, I don't get it...when we can go "boldly" to the throne of God, WHY would anybody ever pray TO a saint who is...

Hi 4, Well, you can count me as number 3. This country has been run by corrupt politicians for decades, right under our noses...their consciences have been seared as with a hot iron and they do NOT care about the little folk, except to wring us dry of the little money we do have to live on...

All Christians are considered "saints". Acts 9:13 , Acts 26:10; Romans 1:7; 1 Corinthians 1:2 There is no "special" group of people who only have the term saints...ALL Christians-those who are alive on this Earth. Once one has passed on, you cannot ask them to pray for you...if this is what...

My objection is these two words: "for" and "to". We do not pray TO other human beings, in heaven or here in this world, they cannot answer prayers! We DO pray FOR one another as, only Jesus can be the mediator. Simple to me, anyhow.

Yes, confess to each other, for accountability and yes, we pray FOR one another, not TO one another as only Jesus can bring our prayers directly to God Himself.

I was never comfortable around chimps...they can be unpredictable so yes, one better know their signals!

Everyone here seems hard pressed to give me a single scripture instructing us to pray TO anyone BUT Jesus who then, being our only mediator will bring our requests to God Himself.

Hello Phillip James, I was speaking of those "humans" who have passed onto eternal life...we all die in the temporal way.

Hi Grams! Yes, we all love her very much, our prayers are constantly being offered up for her. Have not seen you in a while, how have you been?? In Him, love, nancy

Helen, or well...maybe Dave :D, There are many praying for our Helen on here, for her relief, full healing and be able to get her life back so to glorify her first Love. (oh well, no offence Dave, :) ) She is so heavy on my heart, and am waiting with faith for Helen to be released from these...

Hi John, Would you say that the good Samaritan who helped the attacked man, would be among the "Guests" at the wedding supper of the Lamb? What if they were not believers in Jesus being the only way to The Father? This has been on my mind ever since we spoke briefly about it in one of our...

The bible is pretty clear that ALL Christians are "saints" , Acts 26:10 Romans 1:7; 1 Corinthians 1:2 We are considered "holy" or set aside. "Saints" are not dead people who are to be prayed to, for or with...it is not in the written Word Of God. We saints on Earth (Christians) can...

Amen Pat, He sure did...and we are told to do the same. xo

There is a fundamental difference between Jesus Christ as mediator and the intercessions of the saints. Jesus and only Jesus stands between God and man. There is no other way to God BUT through Jesus. "And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. And...
