Neither does it makes sense for people in your church to ask for prayers, but I’ll bet they do it anyway.
It’s probably likely that ol’ Hoss has asked others for prayers sometime...hopefully he wrote a post to himself about how messed up that is...
Really. Nice straw man.
Intercessory prayer is a wonderful thing; I pray for my family and friends -- and others who are in desperate need of the saving knowledge of the Gospel -- but I pray to God, not Mary, or other saints that are in Heaven. Did you read what I wrote? Intercessory prayer is praying to GOD ALMIGHTY.
Praying to Mary is idolatry. The only way to ask her for anything is to pray to her...
