Is Jesus the only way to the father or can you pray to Mary or Saints?

Answer 1

Yes! He is the only way. He Himself said; " I am the way, and the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." John 14:6 Further in vs. 13,14; " And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it."

You can pray to Mary and the other saints. But, it is a waste of time. Unless you pray in Jesus' name, your prayers will not be heard.

Mary needed a Savior just like you and I do. Read. " And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, and my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Savior. " Luke 46,47.

ONLY sinners have need of a Savior.

Answer 2

There is only one name given among men by which we can be saved...that at the name of Jesus every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father. He is indeed the only Way, Truth, and Life. Mary was a humble girl that was chosen of God to carry Messiah, nothing else. Scripture says that every believer is a saint in Christ Jesus. The apostles who have been given the title "Saint" by the Catholic church were ordinary men who were changed by God...the same thing He does every single day of the week across the world. They were sinners who Jesus redeemed, nothing else. Praying to or expecting intercession from Mary or the "Saints" is giving power to a group of people that Scripture does not support. Jesus Christ is the only mediator, the only intercessor between man and the Father.

Answer 3

Jesus is the only way to the Father, people pray to Mary or the Saints for intercession only.

Answer 4

Both. Jesus is the only way to the Father, but that doesn't mean we can't talk to our brothers and sisters in Christ. If you were at the wedding in Cana with Jesus, would you have ignored His mother? Would you have ignored His disciples? Would YOU be honored if someone gave YOUR mother the cold shoulder? We talk to Mary and the other saints because they are members of our family, and we ask them to pray FOR us because the Bible instructs us to "pray for one another" (James 5:16).

Answer 5

Jesus is the only way to the Father. Also when Christ died on the cross, the curtain that was separating the Holy of Holies and the innner court of the Temple was completely torn in half from top to bottom. When that happened Christ did away with the necessity of praying to the saints, or praying to Mary like the Catholics do. Christ's death gace us direct access to God, so that those who place their faith in him, can pray directly to God and ask him to forgive us of our sins.

Answer 6

Jesus answered, "I am the way the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." John 14:6

Answer 7

Jesus is the only way. At Matt. 6:9, Jesus taught his followers to pray to his Father, no one else.

Answer 8

John 14:6 Jesus said "I am the way, the truth and the life, no one come to the father but through me."

Answer 9

the only way TO god is THROUGH jesus, but you can pray to other saints and to the virgin mary. (2 ma 12:44 and 46.)

Answer 10

Yes, He is. The Father is Spirit. In the Garden of Eden in Paradise, the spirit of man died to GOD. Baptism together with the New Covenant unites you with Jesus in His death and resurrection. You are born of water and your spirit is reconciled with GOD. That is how Jesus is the only way to the Father. Your spirit can now be born of Spirit, John 3:5&6. to do the will of GOD, to have the righteousness of GOD and live with GOD eternally. It is that straight forward. When GOD lives inside you by His Spirit, you have all things.
