Coming from a Catholic family I can fully appreciate the comment by Dr. Foster about praying to saints. It has always been told to me that Catholics do not pray to the saints, but rather through the saints. I must admit I always took the typical Baptist stance on the issue and regarded praying through a saint to God to be pointless and a bit childish. It was not until today that I better understood the issue. We often have others pray for us, as if our prayers will somehow not be heard by God. This was really put in context for me today. The discussion about the use of angels in Colossians gives me reassurance that the Christians of the first century were in some extent facing the same issue that we are today. It is so amazing to me how God uses a letter written thousands of years ago to minister to us today.
