Where does it say in the Bible you should ask for the intercession of the saints. Where does it say in the Bible that ritualistic claptrap is important other than perhaps communion which is a remembrance of Jesus.Like the protestant I debated last night you keep bringing up roman catholicism, which is a heresy just like the reformers except they still have some semblance of liturgy i.e holy tradition. You don't even have that. I am orthodox, we are pre denominational, and the visible church, the visible body of Christ.
We ask for the intercession of the saints who the bible says are alive in heaven with Christ. It's no different than asking a fellow believer to pray for you in your hour of need.
