The Catholics teach that the rosary should be performed every day. I'd like to have ANYONE show me that from the Bible. Where did God tell us to perform a rosary? The Rosary, or prayer beads, was introduced by Peter the Hermit, in the year 1090…copied from Hindus and Mohammedans. The counting of prayers is a pagan practice and is expressly condemned by Christ (Matthew 6:5-13).
'Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.' Luke 11:28
You are caught up in a great deception, and will someday pay a tremendous price of eternal suffering in the Lake of Fire unless you bow down to Jesus, and Jesus alone, repenting of your sins, confessing belief in who Jesus claimed to be: God, the "ONLY" mediator, the only way of salvation, and then submitting to His Word and will.
The Catholic Mary no way resembles the Mary of the scripture. Even in the days of Jesus, people tried to elevate Mary in a position that was not hers (Luke 11:27). But Jesus immediately corrected them and said, 'Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it' (Luke 11:28).
The Catholic Church says Mary was a perpetual virgin having no other children after Jesus, but Jesus had brothers and sisters (Matthew 13:55,56, Mark 6:3,Acts 1:14, Galatians 1:19). Mary remained a virgin only until Jesus was born (Matthew 1:25).
The Catholic Church says that Mary, and saints in general, are a mediator between God and man; whereas, the scriptures reveal that Jesus is the only mediator between God and man (1 Timothy 2:5, 1 John 2:1, Acts 4:12).
The Catholic Church says Mary was sinless, scripture says everyone, except Christ, has sinned (Romans 3:23).
In a Bilateral Commission Meeting between the Vatican delegation and the Chief Rabbi Shear Yashuv Cohen in Jerusalem in 2007 an agreement was made which recognized that “Jewish tradition emphasizes the Noahide Covenant as containing the universal moral code which is incumbent upon all humanity.” (Cf Genesis 9).
So then? Not only are Jews “absolved” by the Vatican of their guilt for crucifying the Messiah Jesus — now Pope Benedict recognizes their leadership since they are the “Chosen People of God” and that the “Noahide Laws are Jewish tradition.” Hence who will ultimately be the moral authority that governs the so-called Noahide Laws? Jews, that’s who. Anti-Christian Jews!
The reason the Catholic Church opposes the scripture is because it opposes them.
No religious institution on earth has as much to fear about its members reading the scripture as the Catholic Church. When Catholics study the scripture they learn that in order to please God, they must discard the many false doctrines which their church has accumulated over the centuries. Following is an excerpt from an address given by the Cardinals to PopePius III in 1503 A.D., and is preserved in the National Library ofParis, Folio No. 1068, Vol. 2, pp. 650 651:
'Of all the advice that we can offer your holiness we must open your eyes well and use all possible force in the matter, namely to permit the reading of the gospel as little as possible in all the countries under your jurisdiction. Let the very little part of the gospel suffice which isusually read in mass, and let no one be permitted to read more. So long as people will be content with the small amount, your interest will prosper; but as soon as the people want to read more, your interest will fail. The scripture is a book, which more than any other, hasraised against us the tumults and tempests by which we have almost perished. In fact, if one compares the teaching of the scripture with what takes place in our churches, he will soon find discord, and will realize that our teachings are often different from the scripture, and oftener still, contrary to it.'
The Catholic Church says that only the priests can understand the scripture and the common man cannot; But the scriptures say that when anyone reads they can understand (Ephesians 3:4, Romans15:4, 1 Timothy 3:14-15, 1 John 1:4).
The Catechism of the Catholic Church
“The task of interpreting the Word of God authentically has been entrusted solely to the Magesterium of the Church, that is, to the Pope and to the bishops in communion with him.” (CCC 100)
