He does know. And you would rather pray to a creation of His, than to Him directly? Then why did God send His only Son to die? So we can pray to Michael? Why not pray to a tree. Or the sun? Maybe your tennis shoes? All God’s creations. See what I mean? An angle is a creation. Like me and you are. The scripture, Jesus lays it out very well. What did Christ do? Did Jesus pray to the Earth at the garden of Gethsemane? Did he pray to the sky to heal a blind man? Name one time when Jesus prayed for an angle to help Him? Never happened. So if Jesus is the only path to God, then why would anyone pray to an angle for help? If anything praying to another source outside of Christ and the Father is idolatry. And straight up wrong. God killed over 3,000 when they were praying to a golden calf.
That’s still praying to someone who ISN’T God. Which is a false idol. An angle isn’t going to do anything for you. Not until God commands it to. So again….why are you praying to an angle of the Lord? Key words, THE LORD.
And you would rather pray to a creation of His, than to Him directly?
We ask each other for prayers all the time, here on GAW even. Why not ask people already in heaven, who have direct access to the Throne, to also pray on your behalf? We are all one community, the church on earth and the church in heaven.
Who has direct access to the throne that advocates for you? The Bible is clear who that is. I know, you tell me. Anyone else advocating for you is made up fantasy. It wasn’t written, therefore false teachings.
God is all knowing, so he gets what he meant.

We are not praying TO St. Michael. We are asking him to intercede for us. It’s good to have friends in high places.

You pray, I pray, others pray. God listens. Archangels are His missionbearers.
Devote your attention and keystrokes to that, rather than criticizing people's faith and ginning up arguments.
PRAY rather than be contentious.

God's in his heaven surrounded by his armies.
