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.
We're called to "contend for the faith" though. And I agree and also contend that we are not supposed to pray to angels. Unless God sends one to visit us with some message, or we are casting one out of someone who's possessed, I don't even think we're supposed to talk to them at all...
I’m helping you. As Christians we are to help others. And especially those in our own home of faith.
Galatians 6:10. “As we therefore have opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith"
If I see fellow Christian’s worshipping, that which isn’t God. I’m helping you. To pray to an angel is NOT what’s commanded of you. Remember the most important command that Jesus told you. And then remember the second. This is why I’m speaking up. Also in Galatians 6:2– “ Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.”
Keyword "burden". It can refer to a character flaw, a struggle, or a moral requirement. I’m helping you. You don’t want to stand before the Father, and have prayed to those who cannot help you. Only Jesus is your advocate to the Father. And what was said about that? In Matthew 10:33, essentially means that if you publicly reject Jesus on Earth, he will also reject you before God in heaven; it emphasizes the importance of openly professing your faith in Jesus. Faith in Jesus…not angels and humans. I’m helping you.
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.
You honestly think God needs armies? The creator. The alpha and omega. With no beginning and no end. Eternal. We ain’t talking an old man with a nice hair part. We’re talking about the true King.

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.
