Hello,This question has been stuck in my head for many years now...God says not to praise any other God but himself, right?OK. Hail Mary pray sounds like this:Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death; amenSo it says that Mary is a mother of God (Jesus), so we can't actually support Jesus because according to this prayer, he is a God and God doesn't allow anyone else to pray for someone else expect him. And if we pray in Jesus name, we are breaking his laws. It's the same bad thing as beleaving in any other relligion then, right?
CuriousBoy, There is a difference between gods and the ONE TRUE GOD, whose personal, or proper name is Jehovah. The scriptures tell us that there are many CALLED gods, 1Cor 8:4-6, but only ONE true God to any Christian. Notice the scripyure said ONE GOD, and ONE LORD, Jesus Christ. In the 82 Psalm we are told about the time in Jewish history when the rulers of the nation of Israel were called gods, Ps 82:1,2,6. Jesus was referring to this when he was talking to the Jews at John 10:31-36. At Isa 9:6, when speaking about Jesus, the Prince of Peace, Jesus himself is called a mighty god. At John 1:18, in many Bibles it states that Jesus is an Only Begotten god. We also know that there are many names that people have for the gods thay worship, Allah, for instance. The people of Egypt had a god for every one of the natural things that God brought the plagues against. Jesus is the greatest teacher ever to walk the earth. Even God Himself said to LISTEN TO HIM, Matt 17:5. Consider what Jesus himself said, John 17:3, This means everlasting life, their taking in knowledge of you, the only true God, and the one you sent forth, Jesus Christ.
