Absolutely not. What in the world is the purpose of this thread? If you know the true Jesus Christ, you don't desire any other. And there is no other name given under heaven whereby any can be saved. There is no salvation in any other.

There is no precedent in scripture commanding us to pray to ANYONE other than to God in Jesus' name. Mary is not our mediator. Jesus Christ is our mediator.
A Christian follows Jesus Christ. A catholic follows Mary (at best).
Many religions have truth's !
I have even found truth's and understanding in what the Buddah was saying in the 1879 show Monkey Magic. because such is true. it can way one up to such dealings in fact !
They have other shows about monkey magic after the 1979 one, but the rest that I have seen are totaly evil and totaly stupid and pathetic.
They are not about God the Father ! they are about a life of understanding some realitys of life. and point out delusions that can overtake a Town etc, and it's true ! People can be lead by such powers !
With each show has a message in fact and so watch carfuly and at the end you can debate what that was all about in fact, you will be better educated in fact for it. but I have found that most people are to stupid to pick up on such things, because they are not truly awake when watching such shows, they are half asleep one may say and not picking up on what is being convayed ! That's why we have somany Movies nowadays that are such crap ! their is nothing to them but mindless nonsense and stupidity in fact, no real story line even ! but for displays of blowing something up Action based delusional crap.
I was saying to my wife of late we were watching Dr No and I said look, such old shows had Class, but look at the new 007 they have no Class. Like what does one learn from any modern day shows, Nothing !
People do not watch Shows to learn, but only just to be intertained !
So most people are in a trance one could say ! when they watch the News they have no handle on what maybe truly taking place ! but for what they are being peddled ! like say they may say quickly 1+1 is 11. and most are not awake to such things as put forward in a way as such, for they just swallow it all in fact ! or the way somthing was portrayed is put forward in a cunning way, that people who are not truly awake, such will not sink in or rase a questioning of such ? The nice room and standard of clothing etc all puts one in a false sence of who you are truly dealing with ? The clothing does not make the man ! but in the eyes of most it sure the hell does in fact !
I record the News ! so I can rewind and go over what was said ! I will be like hang on ! rewind, and then think why did they word it as they did ?
People are payed big money to peddle some things on the News, in a way maybe for some other reason. or they have reduced the volume right at a critical point in fact ! or as well quickle said such and moved to another point ?
They are playing you for fools ! like a used car sales men, taking one for an idiot in fact ! their are tricks to such trade's ? and best be on your toes to all such in life or you will be Duped !
The Media is big money ! be carfull of any organisation as such for they have people earning big money to play you for fools first and foremost. Insurance companys any Public relations officer ? is just that a con artist !

Why don't you integrate into a Full Gospel Holiness Pentecostal Charismatic Spirit-filled Bible-believers Assembly, and minister as a member of the body of Christ and the priesthood of all believers.
@ArkangeMikail Just want to explain a little to you since you are new to the faith.
Protestant or non-denominational Christian churches place Jesus Christ and the Bible as the highest authority for our lives. Believers are encouraged to read the Bible and go by the teachings of the Bible.
We place Jesus Christ (not the Pope) as the head of "the church" which is worldwide believers in Christ.
The Protestant movement began when a Catholic priest named Martin Luther spoke against unScriptural practices by the Catholic Church...such as selling "indulgences" for forgiveness. Luther found the Scripture verse "The just shall live by faith" and finally found peace with God. He wanted the Catholic Church to go back to Scriptural teachings.... instead they kicked him out of the Catholic Church.
Videos are very brief.
He is a former Muslim so I think we need to explain things simply. Apparently he only has a few churches in his city in France.

Why are you chastising this new seeker for coming to this forum with honest questions? Recall Matthew 9:36—When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.
Peace.
If you don’t mind me asking, what kind of difficulties does converting from Islam to Nicene Christianity / Catholicism pose for you in regard to family and friends? Are you facing any danger with your decision?
I must hide my faith in Jesus-Christ.
When I talk about Christianity with my relatives, they get angry and sometimes threaten me with violence.
I do no face danger as long as I keep myself quiet and discreet.

All "religions" are works based. Meaning you have to do things to maintain you status in the religion. Only Christianity is non works based. It is a free gift from God, that you cannot achieve this by your own merit. Also not one religion on earth except Christianity have the Grace of God, meaning, our sins are forgiven without you doing anything. No other religion on earth gives a path for forgiveness of sin.

As a former Muslim, I can tell you that this very thing that you call "God-given grace without works" is a sharp critic against Christianity.
Muslims believe Christians are a bunch of sinners that can be drunkards, live in debauchery, commit crimes... without any consequences because their "human God died for their sins".
As a new Christian, I strongly disagree with your view, and I am entirely convinced that grace is given by God, but we must have discipline and be virtuous to obtain the Heavens.

Ephesians 2:8-9 For by Grace (of God) you have been saved through faith ( in Jesus), and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9 not of works, lest anyone should boast.

Thank you for the post (although it side-steps the issue).
How would you politely answer Muslims who believe ‘Christians are a bunch of sinners that can be drunkards, live in debauchery, commit crimes... without any consequences . . .’?
Peace.
