Yes you are. You are praying to them (dead people) as if they are omniscient. Otherwise, they would not have any idea that you are praying to them. If a million are praying to them, how do they sort it all out? How do they know when one is praying at 6am and another at 2:30 pm?
If you had a million talking to you could you keep it straight? Would you know the 2000 who were voicing your name at 2:30 in the morning?
Why wouldn't you know? Because you're not omniscient. You are ascribing omniscience to them.
What sound logic you have there, Pastor x. I never thought of it that way before (my husband's favorite line from me to him.)

Yes, they are ascribing an “over all things” awareness to a deceased Christian.
I don’t think it works that way.
I think of the angel saying to Daniel, “But the prince of Persia WITHSTOOD me....”

This opens the whole discussion as to what happens between
the moment we die and the judgement. We are no longer in this time and space.
Are we instantly swept to the judgement ?
