Yes Tobit 12:12, the angel claims to be the one who is asked, not God and he takes credit for it, encouraging prayers to angels.

Perhaps you should actually read the passage in question rather than relying on something you are obviously taking second-handedly... Is this your idea of searching for the truth???

"I will now tell you the whole truth: I will conceal nothing at all from you. I have already said to you, 'a king's secret is prudent to keep, but the works of God are to be made known with due honor'" Tobit 12:11

And then read on...

I was SENT to put you to the test. At the same time, however, God commissioned me to heal you and your daughter-in-law Sarah. I am Raphael, one of the seven angels who enter and serve before the Glory of the Lord" Tobit 12:14-15

See, this is exactly what I am talking about. Making such vicious attacks without any basis, just because you love to hate. A simple reading of the passage in question would have silenced any thought that Tobit speaks of worshiping angels. But no, in your rush to judge others, you make such a blatant error...

Hopefully, you don't make this a habit when you spout off your theological opinions without actually reading the Scriptures in question...

I apologize if I appear to be coming off harshly, but I am sick and tired of these wild and baseless accusations that have NO MERIT whatsoever. A simple reading would have prevented such an accusation. It is plain you are not concerned with what Catholics believe, but only in smearing anything that the Church teaches.

Regards

without actually reading the Scriptures in question

The verse I referenced which you so conveniently forgot to include, clearly says that the angel and not God heard the prayer, and then he carried it before God. Spin it anyway you wish that it what it says. We've got people posting praying to Mary, praying to angels, praying to the dead, to just about everyone except God,and no wonder. No wonder we are confused and not sure why you believe as you do. I also suspect most of you inherited your faith from your families and are not what Jesus called "born again". This is the likely result of your confusion.

Seeing as how I did read the text, but you chose not to post it, please refrain from these types of ad hominem attacks.

It's not an ad hominem attack. I didn't attack your person

Let me refresh your memory
