I’ll pray to the Father and to Jesus..aint praying to an angel who isn’t suppose to be worshipped.
Matthew 22:37–40
"You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets
I’ll pray to God. I’ll pray for our fellow man..this means the Democrats as well. But I’m not praying to false idols and knowingly committing idolatry. Please people. Learn the teachings of Jesus. He taught us how to pray.
You are correct!! The Holy Spirit we receive upon baptism is inside us and cries out to the Father when we don’t know what to say. It’s wonderful to have God indwelling us as believers!
In Revelation 19:10, John falls at the feet of the angel who was explaining a vision to him, but the angel immediately corrects him: “Don’t do that! I am a fellow servant with you and with your brothers and sisters who hold to the testimony of Jesus. Worship God!”
Exactly. There are several events in the Bible that make this clear, like the one you posted. Even Samson’s parents fell to the feet of an angel. They kept asking for its name until eventually the angel was like, why are you asking about my name? It’s beyond your understanding. Although personally, I feel this angel was Jesus. If Jesus would have told them His name, it was not time for that name to be told in that time in history. But that’s just my thoughts.
is that your subjective definition and if another protestant disagrees who is correct?
1 billion Catholics agree on what worship is and I assure you prayer is not worship. It looks like protestants can’t agree on what worship is because when I look it up, I am assured by protestants that praying is not worship but here you are saying otherwise.
Common sense and research. Words like “linked” and “centered” around God. Things easily found in a few seconds of looking it up yourself. But ignorance is addictive, or infectious. But there’s remedies for such.
I don't see a reason to believe an archangel can even hear my prayers, unless I'm speaking out loud and he's been sent by God to be nearby and listen. This would be a waste of time, since God definitely can hear my prayers, even my mental prayers.
A servant. Correct. Just like any Christian. Why not just pray to me everyday? Yes from now on pray to me, a servant. Let’s see if I can answer any of your prayers. ………
Oh so you wanna change up the words. Words matter. You just wanna ask..”ask” for help. Like this? “Hey big Mike, needs some help here”. Like that? No, you don’t. You’re praying. This thread is about prayers. Stop being naive. And praying is worship. Again, stop pretending to be ignorant of that.
I can ask you for anything, and sure, you may or may not be able to answer my prayers, for food or money or aid. Still unconnected to worship. Check the dictionary.
I looked it up. Prayer equals worship. Thank you for that assurance. The fact that you go straight to denomination blame kinda says what you are. And then you proved yourself wrong. That’s hilarious.
God does the asking. You do the praying. Not the other way around. God doesn’t pray to my oh. You don’t ask from Him.
I think President Trump is seeing the light & coming to the true Christian faith. This will undoubtedly make him lose the support of many Protestants that insist on continuing to do it their own way, as they have for the past 500 years.
We Protestants might think Trump is a hero being used mightily by God, but we know he, like you, me and all your popes throughout history, is actually fallible. You know what isn't fallible? Scripture. I hope you will check your faith by it to see if it is indeed true.
The Catholic Church put the scriptures together. Now work out what you said with what is historically true.
Also remember THOU SHALT NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS AGAINST THY NEIGHBOR.
Don’t tell lies about Catholicism. Careful what you claim. Do we believe the Pope is infallible? You might want to look into the details of that before you make another comment. You wouldn’t want to be found guilty of bearing false witness would you?

There is ONE mediator between Father God and man….Jesus Christ.
Amen.
Um, "Paraclete" (holy spirit)
And Christ is a priest of the order of Melchizedek
Are there no others? Sola scritura sounds great but you don't get to cherry pick.

Falls at the feet... Still not praying
Prayers aren’t worship.
When you give God the father praise when you pray is worship like no other.
Praying is not worship.
I asked you according to who is praying worship.
is that your subjective definition and if another protestant disagrees who is correct?
1 billion Catholics agree on what worship is and I assure you prayer is not worship. It looks like protestants can’t agree on what worship is because when I look it up, I am assured by protestants that praying is not worship but here you are saying otherwise.
Yes, it is.
According to who, you?

Unclear to me how praying to St. Michael is worshipping him.
He is an archangel and a protector, a servant and instrument of God.
I don't see a reason to believe an archangel can even hear my prayers, unless I'm speaking out loud and he's been sent by God to be nearby and listen. This would be a waste of time, since God definitely can hear my prayers, even my mental prayers.
Those are just people who have fallen for the psyop to destroy Catholicism, the religion of nearly 1/4 of the worlds population.
A servant. Correct. Just like any Christian. Why not just pray to me everyday? Yes from now on pray to me, a servant. Let’s see if I can answer any of your prayers. ………
"Why not just pray to me everyday?"
Because I can email you or call you to ask for help.
You still haven't explained how asking for St. Michael's help is "worshipping" him.
Oh so you wanna change up the words. Words matter. You just wanna ask..”ask” for help. Like this? “Hey big Mike, needs some help here”. Like that? No, you don’t. You’re praying. This thread is about prayers. Stop being naive. And praying is worship. Again, stop pretending to be ignorant of that.

Pray to God that he will send his Archangel

The collective reeeeeeee of Protestants as Trump moves towards the one true faith, Catholicism 🥰

YUP!!! Plenty of them here on GWA having a hissy fit and saying it's just for the Catholic vote... NOT!
Indeed.
