Placed on a mountain to be "WORSHIPED"

You just told me not to trust what the media says. Worship was a word chosen by the writer.

Do you believe in Christian Saints?

Christian saints are not worshipped.

Christian saints are prayed to for intersession. As in “Saint Benedict pray for me.”

"Therefore, scripturally speaking, the “saints” are the body of Christ, Christians, the church. All Christians are considered saints. All Christian are saints—and at the same time are called to be saints. First Corinthians 1:2 states it clearly: “To the church of God in Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ Jesus and called to be holy…” The words “sanctified” and “holy” come from the same Greek root as the word that is commonly translated “saints.” Christians are saints by virtue of their connection with Jesus Christ. Christians are called to be saints, to increasingly allow their daily life to more closely match their position in Christ. This is the biblical description and calling of the saints."
