Is invoking them to pray with us and/or on our behalf condemned by the bible. Or is it in fact authentic, Christian and biblical teaching, the rejecting of which is the rejection of Christian truth?Turns out, this practice is older than Christianity, and was fully practiced and endorsed by 100% of the early church insofar as we can tell - there are precisely 0 objections to it in the written record, and many endorsements in the martyr churchDenying the validity of prayer to the saints and angels is itself a man-made, anti-biblical tradition that is not more than 500 years old, and it is a protestant tradition, not a Christian tradition - though there are certainly protestants who are fine with it and who hold authentic, Christian teaching.
