    Do not let anyone who delights in false humility and the worship of angels disqualify you for the prize. Such a person goes into great detail about what he has seen, and his unspiritual mind puffs him up with idle notions. - Colossians 2:18

    If you hold strongly to the word of God as the FINAL authority, then stop worshipping angels!

    Praying to a Saint should not be just for your benefits. Let's put it this way, St. Michael threw Satan out from Heaven and all the rebellious angels. He is much stronger than Satan. So when praying to him, you will receive his protection and service. St. Michael is a powerful protector and great friend to have in the battle against temptation.

    It is rather shocking fact to discover that most believers of Catholic church actually believe in such things like Angels, Saints, and Mother Mary,etc. The power of prayer comes from ones heart, not through any other medium other than name of the Lord, Jesus Christ.

    By using common sense, do you actually believe that such Angel will deliver your prayer to God, when you can directly pray to God and that is what prayer is all about.

    There is no need to pray in front of holy persons' statue or pray to some other creatures. It is idol worship. For so many centuries, I am sick of seeing all these false teachings by Catholic hierarchy and innocent people still fall for it, because they lack of knowledge in the Bible, or should I say Catholic church rarely teach about Bible or encourage to read the Bible.

    St. Michael is our warrior against the Evil One, and is the one we call on in times of temptation.

    Prayer to St. Michael:

    St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle; be our safeguard against the wickedness and snares of the Devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do Thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host, by the power of God, cast into Hell, Satan and all the other evil spirits, who wander throughout the world, seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

    Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation?

    O.o nothing, you get screwed over because angels don't like you praying to them and Michael is a warrior so he'd probably wipe your *** with the floor.
