Thank you. Quotes from the Bible are always superior to man's thoughts. i.e.
(Luke 12:54-56) Then he also said to the crowds: “When you see a cloud rising in the west, at once you say, ‘A storm is coming,’ and it happens. 55 And when you see that a south wind is blowing, you say, ‘There will be a heat wave,’ and it occurs. 56 Hypocrites, you know how to examine the appearance of earth and sky, but why do you not know how to examine this particular time?

Not off topic.

Do you support the $15 minimum wage?

. “You say grace before meals. All right. But I say grace before the concert and the opera, and grace before the play and pantomime, and grace before I open a book, and grace before sketching, painting, swimming, fencing, boxing, walking, playing, dancing and grace before I dip the pen in the ink.” -G. K. Chesterton

(1 Thessalonians 5:17) Pray constantly.
(Matthew 6:9) “You must pray, then, this way: “‘Our Father in the heavens, let your name be sanctified.
(John 17:26) I have made your name known to them and will make it known, so that the love with which you loved me may be in them and I in union with them.”
When we pray, should we not pray to the true God?
I don't know. Maybe you are just looking for worldly quotes.
If so, it would be good to consider
(1 Corinthians 3:19) For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God, for it is written: “He catches the wise in their own cunning.”
(James 3:17) But the wisdom from above is first of all pure,

His Grace/our gratitude. Sans Dieu Rien.

We need a new world as did Ulysses.

"I think, therefore I think I am" seems to be more accurate.

What exactly is this supposed to mean?
(John 14:6) Jesus said to him: “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
So, we pray to Jehovah God, our Creator, our Father, through His first born Son Jesus Christ.

There are many gods that people pray to but there is only one trueGod.

Originally posted by roigamI wonder if you really understand the point Paul is making.

Paul is saying that an idol is nothing. So while there may be some cultures that worhsip an idol, it is nothing and food offered to it is meaningless. So that eating food offered to idols is nothing.
It is really a petty matter, much the same as what name you call the God that Christians worship.

Originally posted by Rajk999Christians should pray to God the Father through Jesus not to Jesus.
Are you saying that Christians do not pray to the 'true God'?
if we do then Jesus will do his Father's will in answering our prayer.
(John 14:6) Jesus said to him: “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
(John 14:13, 14) Also, whatever you ask in my name, I will do this, so that the Father may be glorified in connection with the Son. 14 If you ask anything in my name, I will do it.
Jesus is our intercessor or mediator,
(1 Timothy 2:5) For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, a man, Christ Jesus,
