Do Mary and the Apostles pray for me? Should I ask them to pray for me? What is the problem with asking the dead to pray for me?

Mary and the apostles do not pray for or intercede for people, and they are not our mediators. Jesus is our Intercessor, He prays for us (i.e. us believers), and Jesus is the Mediator between God and humanity. No where in the Bible are we instructed talk to dead people in prayer. Talking to the dead is called necromancy, and God forbids the practice of necromancy.

Mary is not divine and you should never pray to her. It is egregiously unscriptural to pray to anyone other than God in the Name of Jesus. Mary was simply a vessel to that God chose to bring His Son into the world so that He could redeem humanity from the wages of their sins (i.e. the second death in the Lake of Fire), so that we could be brought back to God and receive eternal life.

Thank you.
