    Is Veneration of the Saints something that is allowed by God?

    Yes, but when you 'pray' to a dead 'saint' not just 'venerate', what is that? "The Hail Mary is a traditional Catholic prayer asking for the intercession of the Virgin Mary, the mother of Jesus. It asks Mary to pray for all sinners, and to communicate with God on our behalf. "...

    Is Veneration of the Saints something that is allowed by God?

    That's seems to be pretty clear, but what about if you say a "prayer to Mary". Well when a person prays to Mary or any of the "saints" who have gone to their grave, they are praying to the dead, which is necromancy. And according to the dictionary, necromancy is defined as: "Divination by means...

We must stick to the Bible and the Bible only. To "rest in Jesus" actually...
