Saint Michael, the Archangel, defend us in battle; be our defense 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 Divine power of God, cast into hell Satan and all other evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.
St. Michael, place your Shield of Truth over the heart of this nation. By the power of God, design circumstances which will reveal the evil in every heart. Make our nation secure once again through sound leadership and justified enforcement of law. Amen.
Lord, may truth and righteousness be victorious.
We are not going to defeat the evil one. That is the job of Jesus.
Well we're supposed to be doing our best to help aren't we?
Pointing out the evil amongst our own ranks is doing my part. Praying to saints and angels is blasphemous and evil. we are taught in the Bible that idolatry is wrong. We are also taught how to pray, and that is directly to God through Jesus. No one and no thing comes between that. In other words, this is not a petty squabble.
Nowhere does Scripture condemn asking for the intercessions of Saints and Angels. We ask them to pray for us, if Paul says to pray for one another on Earth, how much more the Angels and Saints in Heaven?
There is clear evidence in archeology of early Christians asking for the prayers of Angels and Saints, and clear Scriptural support for the practice.
I have yet to see any scriptural support. The whole point of salvation was that we could now go to God directly. God sacrificed his only son so that we could have salvation. The Bible tells me i can come to him in prayer. God says he will hear my prayers. There is nothing that you can't bring to God in prayer so why would you possibly take it anybody else? I can accept that this is maybe not blasphemy but at the very least this is disrespectful. God sacrificed his son so that you could come directly to him and not be dependent upon a priest.
It’s also Satan desire that we worship and magnify not God.
Faith without works is dead. Maybe if Saul hadn’t bewitched all of Christendom with Jesus-based idolatry and the Christians took some personal responsibility to exercise faith and good works in the face of evil, the world could have been saved from these Satanists a long time ago.
