Sure, feeling charitable to day? :)
As I see it, even when they say they are only asking for her prayers, they are still "praying to" her, because how else would they convey the request to her?
Uh OH!
Now, whether or not such "prayer" is permissible depends on one's understanding of scripture and of what happens to us after death. I do understand the Catholic perspective, and why they believe it is okay. But on this, I side with the NC/IFBB crew in believing that prayer to anyone but God is not permitted.
I see you haven't read "How to Win Friends and Influence People" lately. :)

The pic is proof that you're the "real" Nate and not some lurker who just wanted to use your good reputation here. :)
Love.
Excuse me, Did God love the Jews when he scattered them from Israel and destroyed the temple? A yes or no answer is sufficient.
Did Jesus love the money changers when he turned over their tables and destroyed their commerce? Again, a yes or no will do.
Did Jesus Love Peter when he said to him "Get thee behind me, Satan"? A yes/no question again.
Love isn't an outward thing that is Always showing. It is an inward thing. Something I shouldn't have to say; but, every once in a while, someone comes along and implies that because they sound more flowery, they love more. That's why the Devil sweat talks so many into hell, right? Because he Loves them...
Got my new T1 internet connection at work. Pages load almost instantaneously (I've seen it up to 67Kbs, or about five times faster than our old ISDN, and 12-14 times faster than dialup). Its a beautiful day! :o)

He's my little miracle!
Presumably.....your wife helped a little? :)
Yes.
Did Jesus love the money changers when he turned over their tables and destroyed their commerce?
Yes.
Did Jesus Love Peter when he said to him "Get thee behind me, Satan"?
Yes.
The post of yours that I challenged was one where you stated that no one had responded to your critiques because they had no answers for you. IMO, it dripped with pride - "look at me, victorious on the field of debate." If you want to equate this with the examples above, so be it.
Becky
T1 lines come right from the phone company. They are neither DSL or Cable.
and whats the cost?
You don't want to know.
My understanding is also that the fig tree is Israel.
The blossoming is the re-gathering in the land and the
capture of G-d' Holy city: Jerusalem. Now all we need
is for the dry bones to reanimate through the acceptance
of Y'shua as the Messiah
Barukh haba b'Shem Adonai
Blessed is He who comes in the Name of the Lord
