"Blasphemous" is similar to "heretical." It means going against God in a very offensive way. So, for example, to "blaspheme" is to denounce God, curse him, etc.

Both of my parents are in Heaven and sometimes it just feels better if I talk/pray to them .. not sure if when I do it and hear my problem...I work it out myself ..or they somehow help... not sure but it makes me feel better .. also I truly miss not having them here and it makes them feel like they are still in my life. What harm could this be??? I know that GOD is my FATHER and that jesús is My savior, the KING of KINGS...the LORD of LORDS...

I think it depends on your denomination. Catholics pray to Mary and the Saints all of the time. It's part of their doctrine.

I am not so familiar with the "rules" about this except for the Commandments (no other gods before me, etc). However, I don't believe that this counts as worshiping "false gods," because tu aren't acknowledging Mary o the saints as gods, simply as holy people. I think people pray to ángeles like Michael o Gabriel for similar reasons.

Either way, it definitely depends on your denomination. And like I said, I'm unfamiliar with the specific viewpoints of each denomination on this subject. But if the Catholics do it, and if anyone else does, based on their religious viewpoint, I think that's perfectly fine.

Since jesús is our High Priest and Advocate with the Father, why would tu pray to any one else. I'm not trying to put anyone's beliefs down o be judgemental. Why wouldn't we want to go staight to God with our prayers.
