More proof that your doctrine is miles away from Jesus Christ. Chrsitians are to pray to God, through Jesus who is the mediator between God and men. There is nowhere in the bible where Jesus says to pray to Him. Jesus said to pray to God, His Father. Jesus's suggested pray :

[i].. Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done ...[text shortened]... e commanded. Your doctrine continues to demonstrate that you are on the road to eternal damnation.

What I said reflect the teachings of Christ, and those who have read and understood Christ will appreciate it. . I would not expect you to understand or appreciate that because you are a product of your church.
