Who Are The Saints?

“To all who are in Rome,
beloved of God, called saints:
grace to you and peace
from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.”
Romans 1:7

A “saint” is NOT a holy person that the Catholic church has canonized after death. In fact, that incorrect teaching has led to all sorts of deception including the idea that we are to pray to “saints” in heaven, which is in direct contradiction to the Scriptures which tell us we are not to pray to ANYONE other than God. To pray to someone other than God is called spiritual adultery. Praying to someone who has died is called “necromancy” and Deuteronomy 18 tells us that necromancy is forbidden – it’s actually called an abomination.

Think about it: only God is “omnipresent,” which means the Spirit of God is everywhere. The people who have died are NOT omnipresent, meaning they are NOT everywhere, they are human beings in one place and they cannot hear the prayers of people on earth. For example, if someone in the United States prays to “Saint Anthony,” and someone on the other side of the world is also praying to him, obviously he wouldn’t hear those prayers, he is not omnipresent. Plus – those two people are guilty of necromancy, spiritual adultery.

A saint is a person on earth who has been born again through faith in Jesus Christ and sanctified by his blood, hence the word “saint.” The lowliest believer yet with faults, is called a saint in the Scriptures, not by his goodness or lack thereof, but by being sanctified through faith in Jesus Christ.

There is no record in the Scriptures of anyone praying to anyone other than God. None.

“For there is one God
and ONE mediator between God and men,
the man Christ Jesus…”
1 Timothy 2:5
