"You would have me seperated from the Angelic hosts of heaven who battle against Satan ?"

No, not at all. Except that you are separated, don't know if they can hear you.

Can you point to any prayers to angels by Christians in the Scriptures? No.
Can you show any Apostles in the Scriptures praying to angels? No.
Can you show any command in the Scriptures to pray to angels? No.
Can you show any examples of Christians praying to angels in the Scriptures? No.
Can you show any art from the first 100 years of the Church that portrays Christians praying to angels? No.
Can you show any other extra-Biblical sources from the first 100 years of the Church that demonstrates Christians prayed to angels? No.

It is simply a pagan practice, later added. It remains a pagan practice today.

In the end, you are substituting a pagan practice and giving up direct access to God. He commands us to BOLDLY approach His throne with CONFIDENCE.

You claim that the angels cannot hear us, that we are not to talk with angels and ask them things, and finally say you cannot find examples of this in the Holy Bible and that Angels are somehow a pagan corruption.....

Friend. The Lord Be With You, may he guide you into all truth and grant you peace.

I guess you must not have Luke in your Bible, for in the first Chapter an angel greets Mary.

Or you must not have the Book of Revelation in your Bible, for there we have mention of the great warrior angel who drives off the dragon which is about to devour the child born of the Virgin

And I know you don’t have the book of Tobit in your Bible where an angel brings healing — guess that’s your loss.

Great points. We also have an angel twice in Revelation telling John not to kneel before him and WORSHIP GOD.
