Where Is the Prayer to Saints in the Bible?

Is prayer to Saints in the Bible? It is if you pay attention to the whole picture.

"It is a Kingdom, not a cubicle." I love that.

[eggsackley]

“Kingdom not a cubicle” is heavy. I’ll have to use that on family who think I’m crazy for entering the Orthodox Church.

[siegeheavenly]

The great irony of Sola Scriptura is that Martin Luther who preached it removed 7 books from the Bible.

[bonnie_gail]

a former protestant, thank you so much, God bless you, Bojan!

[jaynesager]

I was raised Baptist, and often heard this argument. God has revealed to me exactly what you are saying regarding the brothers and sisters (saints) who are departed. And I have looking into Orthodoxy, due to the omission of the books in the Protestant Bibles. I feel cheated.

[veryhappy]

I don’t know how I stumbled across this young man, but I have to tell you I’m very impressed by his kindness, humility, and knowledge along with his zeal may God bless and keep you always

[Theplyr]

The question of the cannon of scripture was my entry point into Orthodoxy. Intercession of the saints is implicit all throughout the Bible and ironically in the books that were removed.

[treson]

Lol knuckle crack at the beginning... I knew some heavy smackdown was incoming after. Great video, brother. God bless you!

[MrPanchoak]

Don't forget Elijah's bones bringing a dead man back to life.

[bareit]

Great video Bojan! Please pray for me as I am struggling right now.

[judithfejedelem]

Very insightful to recognize a question that is actually a criticism. Seems to me Jesus regularly responded to questions asked by those who wanted to prove Him wrong by referencing scripture. Your gentle admonishment was spot on.

[gezalesko]

Yes.. my preachers always said the Bible has the ultimate authority and how lucky we are that we have them who are the only one able to explain the Bible....

[cameliucondila]

Tu as raison sur Moïse. Il est apparu lors de la Transfiguration et Pierre l'a vu et Jean nous a parlé de cela dans l'Evangile. Ce serait vraiment sage de la part de chaque chrétien de prier les Saints c'est une richesse qui n'a pas de prix car ils prient pour nous le Seigneur. J'aime bien Saint Kyr et Jean, Saints Côme et Damien, Saint Pantaléon mais la plus puissante prière selon moi c'est celle qu'on fait pour la Vierge Marie, très sainte mère de Dieu.

Que notre Seigneur Jésus Christ aie pitié de nous pauvres pêcheurs

Revelation 5:8 - And when he had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each holding a harp, and with golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints;

Romans 8:34 - Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.


Ephesians 6:18 - Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

Psalms 103:20-21 Bless the LORD, O you his angels, you mighty ones who do his word, hearkening to the voice of his word!
Bless the LORD, all his hosts, his ministers that do his will!

[mikewiththebluecar]

Those are some greats points brother well done.

[robertwaguespack]

There was the Incident in the 2nd Book of Kings where the dead man fell o the bones of Elisha and he (the dead man) came to life.

[ampelkost]

Hi Bojan. first time i see your face and as a joke i ll tell you what i thought: Bojan's anime is so real hahaha. Besides the joke thank you very much for this video. You managed to give me more tools to use against protestants arguments and again clearing things that am struggling sometimes to explain. Even tho my spiritual Father told me not to engage at all still is good to hear all this. God Bless You!!

MARTIN LUTHER VS THE BIBLE
➔ The entire foundation of Protestantism is false:...
➔The Bible ITSELF Contradicts Luther's doctrine of "scripture alone" (solascriptura) The Bible tells us that the authority is THE CHURCH: ...
● 1 TIMOTHY 3:15 The pillar & foundation of TRUTH is the CHURCH.
● EPHESIANS 3:10 10 His intent was that now, THROUGH THE CHURCH, the manifold wisdom of God should be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly realms,
● 2 THESS 2:15 We are to hold fast to the TRADITIONS we have been given, either by WORD OF MOUTH or by the letter.
● 1 COR 11:2 I commend you because you remember me in everything, and maintain the TRADITIONS even as I have delivered them to you.
● JOHN 21:25 Jesus said & did Many other things that are too numerous to be recorded in writing.
● HEB 13:17 Obey the eldars in the CHURCH.
● COR 5:20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.
● HEBREWS 13:17 Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.
2 COR 5:20 says that God appointed men in the Church to represent Him. And, in HEB 13:17, God appointed men in the Church to have the rule over His Flock.
● JOHN 13:20 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receiveth whomsoever I send receiveth me; and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.
● MATT 18:15-17
15 Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.
16 But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.
17 And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto THE CHURCH: but IF HE NEGLECTS TO HEARTHE CHURCH let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican.

The True Church is a TEACHING Church: (to Teach means to impart knowledge that is not presently know....not in writing)
● JOHN 14:26-31
26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall TEACH you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have SAID unto you. (Spoken words...not in writing)
(To TEACH is to impart knowledge that is not presently known....not in writing)
● ACTS 8:31: And he said, HOW CAN I, (understand scripture) EXCEPT SOMEONE SHOULD GUIDE ME? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him.
(The scriptures are not for individual interpretation. They need the guidance of the CHURCH. It is PROTESTANTS who are following the doctrines of a man.)

● MATT 25:35-40 JESUS tells us to feed the hungry & clothe the naked (good works). He further warns us that those who do NOT will be sent away into the eternal fire., but those who do these WORKS will enter the Kingdom of Heaven.
● LUKE 16:19-30 The story of Lazarus and the rich man shows us that the rich man went to hell for refusing to help Lazarus who was poor and hungry. (He refused to do good works)
● TITUS 3:14 KJV And let our's also learn to maintain good works for necessary uses, that they be not unfruitful.
● EPHESIANS 2:8-11 (KJV) Protestants "prove" their false doctrine of "faith alone" By quoting EPH 2:8-9 and they STOP before they get to number 10:
8 For by GRACE are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. (most protestants stop here instead of continuing on to 10):
➨ 10 FOR WE ARE GOD'S WORKMANSHIP, CREATED IN CHRIST JESUS UNTO GOOD WORKS, WHICH GOD HAS BEFORE ORDAINED, THAT WE SHOULD WALK IN THEM.
● 1 COR 9:27 (KJV) (Paul speaking) But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a cast away.
● MATT 12:36-37
36 But I say unto you, That every idle WORD THAT MEN SHALL SOEAK, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.
37 For BY THY WORDS THOU SHALL BE JUSTIFIED, and BY THY WORDS THOU SHALL BE CONDEMNED.
(not by yout faith alone)
➨PENENCE: Protestants reject the idea that they must do "penence" (attempt to make up for the sins they have committed)
● Luke 19:8. Zacchaeus told Jesus if he has cheated anyone, he will repay them 4 times over.
● Mark 2:20 Jesus said (regarding his disciples): The days are coming when the Bridegroom will be taken away from them, and then they will fast.
● Matthew 6:16 When you fast, do not look dismal, like the hypocrits do
● ACTS 26:20 RSV but declared first to those at Damascus, then at Jerusalem and throughout all the country of Judea, and also to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God and perform deeds worthy of their repentance.
● ACTS 2:38-40: (This one is in the Catholic Bible) Do Penance and be baptized everyone of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of your sins and you shall recieve the gift of the Holy Spirit. For this promise is to you AND YOUR CHILDREN, and to all who are far off who the Lord our God shall call.
● COLOSSIANS 1:24-2:7 kjv
24 Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body's sake, which is the church:
➨PURGATORY:.
● 2 TIMOTHY 1: 16-18. Paul prays for the dead Onesiphorus.
● 1 PETER 4:6 The gospel was preached to the dead.
● 1 PETER 3:19, Peter says that after the crucifixion and death of Jesus, that Jesus "went to speak to the spirits in prison", which means that there is a place people go to after they die that is a prison and not heaven nor hell.
● MATT 12:32 Whoever speaks a word against the son of man will be forgiven, but anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will Not be forgiven, either in this world, nor in the "world to come" This implies that some sins are forgiven in the "world to come" (purgatory)
● also 1 COR 3:12-15 & more in the Catholic Bible: (2 Mace 12:46). “It is a holy and wholesome thought to pray for the dead, that they might be loosed from their sins”

Your channel is a gem bro. Thank you 🙏

[petrosdorizas]

Also, I get prayer to saints, but what about praying to saints who specialize in specific items ("patron saints")? Is it simply the case of being in a community, so you go to the person in the community who has the most expertise on something?
