There is a difference between respect/veneration/adoration/latria and worship/dulia. What you have posted above is not dulia/worship, it is latria/adoration. It may seem not so to your eye, but to a practicing Orthodox it is quite clear. I love, adore, venerate, respect my mother as the queen of my life, the one I entrust myself to and glorify and love, the one who gave me life in the world and cared for me. But I do not worship her as the Uncreated Creator of the universe and my God.

"King of Kings" is dulia

"You are the Queen" is latria

Mkay to each his own; religion is mercurially quaint.

Just don't bludgeon your women and bury them with dog bones and we can be cool.

It is a huge error if you pray to demons. Praying to angels, asking for their assistance, is both beneficial and Scriptural.

With all due respect. Prayer to any but God is error.
angels are servants, They are not deities.

The disciples asked how to pray,, and were answered by Jesus.(Luke 11)

Prayer is directed to the Father. To God alone. The servants carry out his orders,,

Perhaps we have a different definition of what prayer is. Prayer also means to ask or request.

BTW, did you read the article I posted above? Asking for the assistance of angels and saints (in other words, praying to them) is biblical and has been the apostolic Christian faith since the beginning. Praying to someone does not mean that you are worshiping them. That is a common misunderstanding unfortunately for Christians in the west.

This.

DSD's puppet masters let Christian communities in Palestine, Syria, Iraq to be destroyed (or perhaps plotted) and now moving in to protect this group. Odd intervention standards US based neocons have.

I am sure misunderstanding is common.

But to which of the angels has He ever said, "SIT AT MY RIGHT HAND, UNTIL I MAKE YOUR ENEMIES A FOOTSTOOL FOR YOUR FEET "? Are they not all ministering spirits, sent out to render service for the sake of those who will inherit salvation?

They are servants,, I do not make request of servants. You give commands to servants.

And Jesus answered saying to them, "Have faith in God. "Truly I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, 'Be taken up and cast into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says is going to happen, it will be granted him

I think TER put it poorly. We do not pray to saints or angels. We pray for their intercessions. The saints are our spiritual ancestors who offer us wisdom and guidance. Prayer is reserved for God (that is the triune god-father, son, holy spirit) alone. Heterodox denominations and individuals tend to pray for God's intercessions as well, which isn't far removed from the Orthodox way.

Also, this:

So let me get this straight. We need to go back into Iraq to protect the Yazidis from being killed by ISIS for not converting when ISIS allows the Yazidis to kill each other for converting?
