That time the Bible said “pray to the Saints”

[AndrewKendall]

That's a little bit of what they call in divinity school "making scripture walk on all fours"

[joachimverstraeten]

Amen! It is such a richness to rely on the whole legacy of the Saints and the order of the Angels and their intercession, in the Holy Order of God, in His Holy Church. What the Lord our God has established in His Holy Catholic Church is forever and ever, Amen 🕊 Looking fully forward, with hope, to the fullfillings of the prophecy's, in Gods Holy time frame, now the whole Faith has been made known in His Church, His Rock. Jesus, seated at the right hand of the Father, Be Glorified. Mary, Queen of peace, pray for us. Time is in Your Hands.

Jesus was saying after you've become sanctified and weak and unable to work; make friends with those who are worldly who have worldly wealth that might take you in and take care of you!

[Anti-pro]

The command of Jesus is: Imitate the wise dude who used favor to gain wealthy friends who will take him in when he gets the boot. But what the steward did was worldly. Jesus commands us to apply that worldly wisdom but to the divine. Therefore, forgive your debtors and God will return the favor and let you into his home, provided also, that you do not hold on to any worldly wealth on your retirement day!😂 So, give to charity and make God your only riches and wealth.

Without any Assumption or Implication Explained to me how a saint which is 100% human could hear millions of prayers simultaneously and have the ability to receive them and address them in the divine pure nature like Jesus Christ without being omnipotent?

[joshuabridges]

This has to be one of the most bizarre leaps in logic. It’s a clear example of really wanting to find support in scripture for something that’s not found anywhere.

[BIGFeathersFarm]

Jesus also commanded to call no man on earth your father (because you have one father who is in Heaven), if I'm not mistaken, the Pope is also referred to as father. Matthew 23:9

[FudgieDan]

Videos like this give the impression that you care far more about what the church says than what the text says. You will need to defend this one much better. The context is the parable of a worthless manager who showed a little shrewdness in order to save his job. What you quoted is the moral of the story. Essential your argument is that the worthless servant was shrewd, therefore, pray to people in heaven. This is obviously disconnected and not the point of the text. The much easier explanation of "make friends by unrighteous wealth" (ESV) is to remain wise in the world. Essentially be wise as serpents.

So the saints reward is to listen to prayers of people they never met and don't know for 2000 years.? Crazy !

[lorenzobianchini]

It does not mean what you say at all. Mammon::an aramaic word meaning wealth.Almsgiving makes us friends of the poor by means of money.Investing in Gods Kingdom means divesting ourselves of riches to help others in need(3:11; 2 Corinthians9:6-15; CCC 952!!

[chrissimon]

Yikes! That’s some bad reading.. This just goes to show how bad the case is for praying to saints

[windyday]

"jesus commanded us to pray to the saints". when?
where? are catholics crazy? your words.
planting tares among the wheat. eisegesis again.
can't find the proof so twist the scriptures just as peter warned people will do. absurd.
matt 6:19-21 storing up treasures in heaven.
sell everything you have and follow jesus.

[clarkkent]

That is not what that verse means at all: you have twisted the word of God in order to justify your false religious perceptions (2nd Peter 3)
