Praying to the dead is an abomination to God
Lev 19:31
Regard not them that have familiar spirits, neither seek after wizards, to be defiled by them: I am the LORD your God.
Familiar Spirit - Hebrew word 'owb {obe} - meaning
necromancer one who evokes the dead
ghost, spirit of a dead one
practice of necromancy
one that has a familiar spirit
You should repent of this sin
Sheesh! Do you people go out and actually search for Catholic threads just for the sake of bashing the Church?
Requesting intercession from a deceased saint (a member of the Body of Believers who has passed over into eternity) has nothing to do with the occult.
