  • And what evidence did Mounce provide to show that the assertion is correct?
    1Cor 15:34 Come to your senses as you ought and stop sinning; for I say to your shame, there are some who know not God.

    • He cites that Christ is prayed to in other passages. Murray Harris did the same thing.
      Others who deny the Lord Jesus is referred to here do not provide evidence as well.

      The evidence is there that Christ is prayed to in Acts 1:24-25. I cited the link above and so far you have not refuted it. You were the one asking for evidence to be sown that this prayer is to the Lord Jesus. I did. Refute what i wrote if you disagree.

          • Nice try. Won't work.

            Supply the official Roman Catholic teaching concerning proseuchomai.

                  The Church of Rome advocates prayer to the saints.
                  When the Church of Rome uses the word prayer in this context, which word would be appropriate in a Koine Greek translation?
                  Would that word be προσευχομαι? No. Rome does not consider the saints to be deities.
                  Can other words be used as translations for "prayer" in Koine Greek? Yes.
                  Mistranslate prayer as προσευχομαι as often as you like: it won't make your interpretation valid.
                  1Cor 15:34 Come to your senses as you ought and stop sinning; for I say to your shame, there are some who know not God.

                    • When they say that they are praying to the saints, they are not saying that the prayer is προσευχομαι.
                      1Cor 15:34 Come to your senses as you ought and stop sinning; for I say to your shame, there are some who know not God.

                        • By your own definition, προσευχομαι can only be given to a deity. They claim the saints are not deities. ergo: what they are doing is not προσευχομαι - it can't be, they aren't praying to what they consider to be deities.
