Jesus said"I am the way, the truth and the life,no man commeth unto the Father...but by me."John 14:6
I believe whenever the focus is taken off Jesus the people are decieved.Whether it's islam or any other religion.Some people want to pray to Mary.Some try to go right around Jesus and go straight to the Father.Jesus said whatever you ask in MY name.Trying to pray outside of the name of Jesus is like trying to mail a letter without putting a postage stamp on it!Both your prayer and the letter are not going to go very far!

Jesus also said "Judge not that ye be not judged"- Matthew 7:1.
It is not our place to judge any other religion. As Christians it is our place to celebrate with those who have beliefs different from us that God gave us all free will. This is a blessing he bestowed upon us.
When we pray to Mary we are merely asking her to pray for us ( to Jesus), just as we would go to our clergy or an elder of the church and ask them to pray for us. The best way to teach people about the wonderful love of Christ is to live it. When they see the peace and love in our hearts, they will want to know our secret. By judging or condemning thier religion, we are only leading them to believe that people who love Jesus are hate filled individuals and then that closes thier mind to ever wanting to know anything about our wonderful Lord & Savior.

There is a difference between asking someone who is living to agree with you in prayer and calling upon the dead.Speaking the truth is what sets people free,not telling them what they want to hear.Where in The Bible does it say to pray to Mary?Or where does it say she will pray for us?Did I miss it?It's not judging others,it's speaking the truth.We can't be making up stuff along the way.If that's the case why do we need The Bible?You can't just pick and choose,add or take away.John warns about that in the book of Revelations.Read 2nd John 9-11.Jesus also tells us to walk in love towards all,not celebrate different beliefs.When you celebrate their beliefs,you celebrate their god.You can love others without celebrating their beliefs.Just as you can be in the world,not of it.
