God Hates Vain Repetitions!
The
chanting of the Roman Catholic Rosary is VAIN REPETITION!!! It is exactly
what God hates. God is not impressed with such empty and meaningless
prayers. Some Catholics try to justify vain repetitious prayers with
Scriptures such as Matthew 26:44, "And he left them, and went away again,
and prayed the third time, saying the same words." But, asking
God three times for the same thing, is very different than mumbling the same
dead words (the Rosary) over and over for a lifetime. Furthermore, this was
not the norm when Jesus prayed. There are times in our life where we
will want to keep asking God for something; but, that is certainly not the
same as mumbling the same WRITTEN, dead, repetitious, religious, words over
and over. A Catholic repeats 52 "Hail Mary" in each DAILY Rosary
prayer. Jesus clearly states that the "heathen" pray with useless
repetitions. Since Catholics claim that their repetitious Rosary prayers
are not "vain repetitions"; then I ask, who was Jesus speaking about? Do
you realize that a faithful Catholic who prayers the Rosary every day, will
in a lifetime say "Hail Mary" well over 1,000,000 times!!! Think about it.
And yet, not one mention is made of the name of Jesus Christ in the
Rosary. Like it or not, the Word of God condemns formalized religion. It
is abundantly clear that the nuns who are chanting the Rosary (which you are
now hearing) are praying with VAIN REPETITIONS.
It is Sinful to Call a Priest "Father"!
I'm
always amazed and saddened at the ignorance of Catholics. I mean, Matthew
23:9 forbids us from calling any man "Father" (i.e., to respect men as God);
yet, this is exactly what Catholics call their priest. Victims of
Catholicism have even been brainwashed to believe that their priests
can forgive sin. We know from 1st Timothy 2:5 that they are LIARS,
because ONLY Jesus can forgive sin. Even the Pharisees of Jesus' day
weren't so arrogant as to believe they could actually forgive a person's
sins (Mark 2:7). Don't be fooled friend, take a good look at the photo to
the left. People are being led to worship the leaders of the Catholic
Church. I see photos of people bowing down to statues of the Pope, kissing
priests hands, etc. This is so wrong!
The following is the Catholic's defense of calling priests, "Father"...
"Jesus criticized Jewish leaders who love "the place of honor at feasts and the best seats in the synagogues, and salutations in the market places, and being called ‘rabbi’ by men" (Matt. 23:6–7). His admonition here is a response to the Pharisees’ proud hearts and their grasping after marks of status and prestige." -SOURCE
The "Pharisees' proud hearts"? Look again at
the above photo. As I said, even the Pharisees of Jesus' day weren't so
arrogant as to believe they could actually forgive a person's sins. Who's
proud? The Catholic Church LIES to people, by deceiving it's victims into
believing that Jesus didn't mean what He said. For Catholics to
differentiate between the Pharisees of Jesus' day, and the religious leaders
of today, is absurd! Religious leaders are not to be recognized as
anything more than sinful men, who have no special power with God. Even the
greatest men of God, such as the Apostle Paul, are still sinners, unable to
forgive anyone's sin. The Catholic Church says one thing, but does another.
The Pope Speaks Lies!
Pope
John Paul II declared the Rosary as his favorite prayer, a "prayer for
peace and for the family." Read his Apostolic Letter
"Rosarium Virginis Mariae" (Rosary of the Virgin Mary). Pope John
Paul II goes on to say...
“The Rosary of the Virgin Mary, which gradually took form in the second millennium under the guidance of the Spirit of God, is a prayer loved by countless Saints and encouraged by the Magisterium.”
SOURCE: (APOSTOLIC LETTER, ROSARIUM VIRGINIS MARIAE, OF THE SUPREME PONTIFF JOHN PAUL II TO THE BISHOPS, CLERGY AND FAITHFUL ON THE MOST HOLY ROSARY).
Pope John Paul II claimed that the Rosary took form "under the guidance of the Spirit of God." There is NO proof to substantiate this claim. On the contrary, the Word of God makes no mention whatsoever about praying to Mary. In fact, the Bible never elevates Mary in any capacity, nor does it lead us to recognize her in any way. So why do Catholics elevate Mary when the Word of God doesn't? Why does the Catholic Church call Mary the "Queen of Heaven," a term from ancient Babylonian pagan worship (Jeremiah 7:18). Clearly, someone is lying, and it's not God (Romans 3:4). The Rosary is just another manmade tradition of Catholicism. Here is a long list of Catholic heretical traditions. These traditions are manmade and are not taught anywhere in the Scriptures.
Pope John Paul II continues...
“The Church has always attributed particular efficacy to this prayer, entrusting to the Rosary, to its choral recitation and to its constant practice, the most difficult problems. At times when Christianity itself seemed under threat, its deliverance was attributed to the power of this prayer, and Our Lady of the Rosary was acclaimed as the one whose intercession brought salvation.”

What blasphemy!!! Pope John Paul II said ... "Our Lady of the Rosary was acclaimed as the one whose intercession brought salvation." Let me tell you something right now, no one can give you salvation other than the Lord Jesus Christ (John 14:6). "Our Lady of the Rosary" is a Devilish doctrine manufactured solely by the Catholic religion. The Word of God never mentions the term "Our Lady." Billions of people have been lied to by the Catholic religion. According to the Catholic Church, it was Our Lady of Fatima (Mary) who promised eternal life to all who would devote to her...
“Our Lady said that many souls would be saved from Hell and the annihilation of nations averted if, in time, devotion to Her Immaculate Heart were established...”

Can anyone show me that in the Bible? No, you CANNOT! John 14:6 tells us that the ONLY way to heaven is through Jesus Christ.
