In fact, the Bible says to pray to saints or angels, or bow before the idols. Only God should be worshiped (1st Commandment). A person is to pray to the Father in the name of Jesus. Jesus said if we ask anything in his name, then he will. Jesus prayed to His Father in heaven, not his mother.

Many go to their graves misled about the most important issue facing us all, and that is, the location of the narrow road that leads to eternal life. Who are you trust to show you the way and the truth to eternal life? What is your source of truth? Is it absolutely trustworthy? It protects you from the schemes and lies of the master of deceit? The prophet Jeremiah gave us wise advice to choose whom we trust. He said that if you trust the man cursed him like a shrub in the arid desert. But if trust in God will be blessed. You will be like a tree planted by the water always bearing fruit, whose leaves are always green. No worries or fears will come upon you in a drought year or when the heat comes (Jeremiah 17:5-8).   Who will you trust? Many people ignore the advice of Jeremiah and put their trust in religious leaders. Catholics believe the Pope and the Catholic Church teaches exactly what Jesus and His Word to reveal. This can be a fatal mistake. Those who do not respect the objective truth of the Bible and rely only on subjective teachings of men do not cheat are opened. We know that God will never deceive anyone, because He wants everyone to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth (l Timothy 2:3). He gave us his word so that we know, understand and believe the truth (John 17:17).   Could the Pope have a person believe what is not true? Perhaps unintentionally, but what if he was deceived by previous popes who were also deceived? How do we know if any of the teachings of the Pope or the dogmas of the Roman Catholic Church are true? The only way to be 100% sure is to do what the Bereans did --- check everything with the Scriptures (Acts 17:11). If the teaching of the Apostle Paul had to be checked for veracity, it is logical that we should use the same standard for any religious leader. Unfortunately, the elevation of tradition, along with the infallible teachings of the popes to the same authority as Scripture has allowed the deception to go on and on in the Roman Catholic Church. Papas and his teachings are constantly changing, while Jesus and His Word, are constant and never change.   The apostle Paul revealed the source of all deception, "The Spirit clearly says that in recent times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons" (1 Tim. 4:1). You may be familiar with some common deceptions taught by religious leaders today: the sky is a reward to those who live a good life ... water baptism is necessary for salvation ... purgatory purges and taketh away the sin ... the sacrifice of the Mass can reject God's wrath for sinners ... God's grace can be earned and purchased. Satan has used these lies to become the greatest "soul winner" in human history. For two thousand years, the master of deceit has perverted the gospel of salvation by grace. Their ravenous wolves disguised in sheep's clothing, preaching false gospels which seduce people who are ignorant of the Word of God (Matthew 7:15). Christianity is a forgery, the ultimate weapon of Satan, that may one day be worshiped as Christ. His religious system of the world is taking shape and, unfortunately, that includes many people in our churches today.   All this should come as no surprise to those familiar with the Scriptures. For this scenario was revealed by Christ and the apostles as a warning of things to come. Jesus said that just before his second coming deception will be so convincing that even the elect can be deceived (Matthew 24:4,11,24). The deception comes from the false prophets, false teachers and false Christs, who misleads people inside and outside the church. Peter warned the people of spiritual deception, "There will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies ... and bring the way of truth into disrepute "(2 Peter 2:1-2).   Satan uses deception to prevent people being saved. God uses the truth to proclaim salvation to all who believe. The man is well saved by believing the truth of God (Ephesians 1:13) or convicted of believing the lie of Satan. Satan blinds the minds of unbelievers for perverting the truth of God through false religious systems (2 Corinthians 4:4). Any religion that teaches salvation is obtained through human effort and merit is to nullify the grace of God to his followers. We are saved by grace, "And if by grace, then it is not by works, if it were, grace would no longer by grace" (Romans Those who are deceived never know unless faced with the truth.
