Pastorerik,
I am convinced if we were to converse with Paul, Peter, John and all the others from the 1st century we would actually think they are weird; but weird doesn’t necessarily mean unbiblical. I wouldn’t expect anyhing but difference in many areas of our christianity to those 2000 years ago.
I am convinced that christians in the first two centuries hardly prayed to Jesus. The reason for this is that the very vast majority of prayers we received from them were prayed to God the Father. The fact that evangelicals today pray to Jesus doesn’t change that.
I actually do not see any hint in the passages you quoted that people prayed to Christ. I also believe God resurrected Christ but why would that make me converse with him and not rather with the one that resurrected him from the dead, especially if Christ explicitely asked his desciples to do so?
