So AD 100 is your arbitrary cut off date? That’s still at least 1500 years before your denomination rebelled.

And did you ever think that records might be scarse due to the church being persecuted for the first 400 years?

-->So AD 100 is your arbitrary cut off date? That’s still at least 1500 years before your denomination rebelled. The last Apostle was alive at that point. It is not arbitrary. It never appears in the Scripture that was circulated at that time. I use the Scriptures from 100 ad and before, as all believers do. I will take that as a simple acknowledgement that you have no scriptural or historical support from before 100 ad to support the practice was are discussing? -->And did you ever think that records might be scarse due to the church being persecuted for the first 400 years? Yet, Scripture survived and never records anyone praying to anyone except God - except the recorded prayers of pagans...
