What is a Saint? What does the Bible say about Saints? What is the definition of a Patron Saint? In this video we answer your question: What are patron saints? Source: www.gotquestions.org/patron-s...
Thank you for finally putting the nonsense and the continued culpability of the Catholic Church up for all to see and understand that as He said, Jesus and only Jesus is the way.

This video is well timed, I've been watching a lot of Orthodox services lately and I haven't understood the purpose of saints. I still have to question if they are wrong however. Orthodox are among the oldest of churches like the Catholics. It's clearly a doctrine and not a biblical command, but so are a lot of things churches do. How do we know?
Matthew 4:10 LSB - Then Jesus said to him, “Go, Satan! For it is written, ‘YOU SHALL WORSHIP THE LORD YOUR GOD, AND SERVE HIM ONLY.’” Praying only to God and not to anyone else is definitely a commandment.
I will request you to read the Bible. Staring from the beginning of the Old Testament to the end of the New Testament.... From Genesis to Revelation.... The entire Bible.... Please find the time.... Maybe you can get hold of a Bible reading plan which covers the entire Bible reading for an entire year ..... Or you can buy a Bible which covers the whole Bible with nothing left out covering a few chapters every day for an entire year. The Scriptures explain themselves. If you can't understand something please consult your parish priest and if certain details are not given then know that they are God's secrets. If God wants us to get the answers to certain mysteries then we will certainly get the answers and some details in Heaven. Prayers 🙏
Great questions. The bible commands us to pray FOR the saints, not TO the saints. Eph 6. The Scriptures teach that the primary purpose of Christian ministry is to equip the saints to do the works of the ministry. Eph 4. This points to an entirely different definition of 'saint' than Roman Catholic or other stilted, ceremonial hierarchical factions have created. The saints are the people of God, from the least to the greatest.
Antiquity doesn’t make a tradition biblical. Even in the New Testament there were people twisting Gods word, some for selfish gain and some through ignorance. Regardless, a heretic doctrine was just that even if many people started believing and following it. Like others have already said, turn to your Bible. That is our one authority after God himself. The Roman Catholic Church does not hold the Bible as the top authority (it’s after the Pope and church tradition). But most of their church tradition is man made and influenced by politics and other non biblical factors. I don’t know the Eastern Orthodox Church as well as I do the RC church, but I believe some of their practices are also man made non biblical tradition that run contrary to the word, for example, their use of iconography. Anyway, let God, His Word, and the Holy Spirit be your instructor. We have direct access to him through Jesus’ sacrifice ♥️
Only God can set you free from catholicism, i used to be one of them. It is absolutely a complete waste of time debating with catholics, my own family resents me for believing, repenting and getting baptized in my 30's. Only ex-catholics saved by Grace like me, can feel the turmoil of seeing your loved ones being kept in the dark under religious bondage....so I pray.
