The
Rosary is unholy, of the Devil, because it attributes powers to Mary which
she does NOT have. According to
http://www.theholyrosary.org/power.html (The Power of the Rosary),
the following 15 powers are granted by Mary to those who faithfully recite
the Rosary...
1 Whoever shall faithfully serve me by the recitation of the Rosary, shall receive powerful graces. 2. I promise my special protection and the greatest graces to all those who shall recite the Rosary. 3. The Rosary shall be a powerful armor against hell, it will destroy vice, decrease sin, and defeat heresies 4. It will cause virtue and good works to flourish; it will obtain for souls the abundant mercy of God; it will withdraw the hearts of people from the love of the world and its vanities, and will lift them to the desire of eternal things. Oh, that souls would sanctify themselves by this means. 5. The soul which recommends itself to me by the recitation of the Rosary, shall not perish. 6. Whoever shall recite the Rosary devoutly, applying himself to the consideration of its Sacred Mysteries shall never be conquered by misfortune. God will not chastise him in His justice, he shall not perish by an unprovided death; if he be just, he shall remain in the grace of God, and become worthy of eternal life. 7. Whoever shall have a true devotion for the Rosary shall not die without the Sacraments of the Church. 8. Those who are faithful to recite the Rosary shall have during their life and at their death the light of God and the plentitude of His graces; at the moment of death they shall participate in the merits of the Saints in Paradise. 9. I shall deliver from purgatory those who have been devoted to the Rosary. 10. The faithful children of the Rosary shall merit a high degree of glory in Heaven. 11. You shall obtain all you ask of me by the recitation of the Rosary. 12. All those who propagate the Holy Rosary shall be aided by me in their necessities. 13. I have obtained from my Divine Son that all the advocates of the Rosary shall have for intercessors the entire celestial court during their life and at the hour of death 14. All who recite the Rosary are my children, and brothers and sisters of my only Son, Jesus Christ. 15. Devotion of my Rosary is a great sign of predestination.
BLASPHEMY! These are all alleged “promises” made by Mary (i.e., Our Lady of Fatima); BUT, Mary made NO promises in the Bible, nor did Jesus ever tell us to expect any messages (let alone promises) from Mary. Once again, the Catholic Church has fabricated their OWN blasphemous manmade TRADITIONS which woefully contract God's Holy Word. Consider promise number nine: “I shall deliver from purgatory those who have been devoted to the Rosary.”
First of all, “Purgatory” is NOT even taught in the Bible. It doesn't exist! There is no temporary place, stuck in limbo, between Heaven and Hell. That is false doctrine. You need to understand my friend, that the Catholic Church is NOT a real church; It is a manmade religion, not based upon the Holy Scriptures. As with all satanic deceptions, Catholicism piggybacks on the Bible to deceive its victims. Do your homework and you'll see for yourself!!!
Second, Mary can't deliver anyone from anything. Who is Mary? Jesus plainly stated in John 14:6 that He is the only way to Heaven. When Jesus was informed that his mother was outside, the Lord shirked it off, asking WHO IS MY MOTHER? The Lord didn't like the idea of his earthly mother being recognized, so he made very clear that every born again believer is His family...
M't:12:46: “While he yet talked to the people, behold, his mother and his brethren stood without, desiring to speak with him.
M't:12:47: Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee.
M't:12:48: But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren?
M't:12:49: And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren!
M't:12:50: For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.“ ”
Consider the utter blasphemy of promise number five... "The soul which recommends itself to me by the recitation of the Rosary, shall not perish." This is damnable heresy that attacks everything the Bible teaches. No one can be saved by reciting the Rosary. The word "Rosary" isn't even found in the Bible. This is a false doctrine exclusive to Catholicism. 1st Timothy 2:5 couldn't be any clearer that the ONE MEDIATOR between God and men is the man Christ Jesus! Mary is NOT a mediator, nor could she be, for she didn't shed her blood for our sins--Jesus DID (1st John 1:7)!
The preceding 15 promises allegedly made by the Blessed Virgin Mary are Satanic tomfoolery. Are you gullible enough to believe that reciting a religious chant repeatedly will bring you all those promises? No sir! The Vatican would have us to believe that praying the Rosary is a sure cure for every problem in life. Sister Lucia dos Santos (1905-2005) is one of the three teenagers who claimed to have witnessed the apparitions of Our Lady of Fatima in 1917, in Portugal. She made the following statement many years later...
“There is no problem, I tell you, no matter how difficult it is, that we cannot resolve by the prayer of the Holy Rosary.”
What a BIG LIE! Where in the world did Catholics ever get the CRAZY idea that reciting the Rosary could solve ALL of life's problems? Carefully notice that the Rosary is completely alien to Biblical teaching.
At the top of http://www.theholyrosary.org/power.html is the following quote by Sister Lucia dos Santos...
“The Most Holy Virgin in these last times in which we live has given a new efficacy to the recitation of the Rosary to such an extent that there is no problem, no matter how difficult it is, whether temporal or above all spiritual, in the personal life of each one of us, of our families...that cannot be solved by the Rosary. There is no problem, I tell you, no matter how difficult it is, that we cannot resolve by the prayer of the Holy Rosary.”
Who says that Mary has given a "new efficacy" (i.e., power) to the recitation of the Rosary? The Rosary isn't even found in the Bible, yet Catholics keep inflating this false doctrine into a two-headed monster. What gives them such a right? Catholic history is plagued with fabricating new doctrines on a whim. The Rosary, or prayer beads was introduced by Peter the Hermit, in the year 1090, copied from Hindus and Mohammedans. So tragic! Over 1,000,000,000 Catholics are being brainwashed to believe that reciting the Rosary will give them eternal life, financial gain, victory over sin, glory in Heaven, and basically anything they want. Promise number 11 states: “You shall obtain all you ask of me by the recitation of the Rosary.” Burger King is not the only organization selling Whoppers!!!
Oh listen my friend (and I am your friend), Catholicism is a pack of lies! In Matthew 5:20 Jesus told the people... “For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.” Think about this, Jesus told the people that if their righteousness did not exceed the righteousness of the RELIGIOUS LEADERS, that they wouldn't be allowed into Heaven. Can you imagine? You'd think if anyone had the answers, it would be the clergy, the ministers, the religious leaders; BUT, they were hellbound in their own self-righteousness. Catholics are extremely self-righteous, “For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth" (Romans 10:3,4).
All I hear about from Catholics is Mary, Mary, Mary. It is sinful idolatry! The Rosary is rooted in Mariolatry. Philippians 2:9-10 proclaim... “Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth.” Did you read that Catholics? At the name of JESUS every knee should bow; NOT at the name of Mary!
Catholic priests discourage church members from studying the Bible; BUT, Jesus commanded us in John 5:39, SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES!!! If Catholics would just study their own Douay version of the Bible, they'd forsake the spiritual whore of Catholicism. Sadly, Jesus described the average Catholic in Mark 7:9, “Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.” Catholic leaders will argue that the Vatican has a "right" to define doctrines not clearly outlined in the Bible; However, this is a lame excuse for creating an entirely new religion that is a far cry from Biblical Christianity.
For example: Catholics teach that Mary was born without a sin-nature (aka, the Immaculate Conception), lived a sinless life, remained a perpetual virgin, and was bodily assumed into Heaven without experiencing physical death. Not one of these false doctrines can be supported with the Bible. Yet, Catholics claim to have the exclusive God-given “right” to add whatever traditions they so choose to the Bible. In reality, Catholics fully reject the Word of God to keep their own manmade TRADITIONS instead (Mark 7:6-13). Any religious tradition that contradicts the Word of God is damnable heresy...
“Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.” -Romans 16:17
I want you to notice very carefully that Our Lady of Fatima NEVER mentions the Word of God, or Jesus Christ. Doesn't that seem strange to you? According to the HOAX of Our Lady of Fatima, Mary made 15 promises, that only Mary has the power to make happen, if Catholics will diligently pray to Mary. Catholics are infatuated with Mary, Mary, Mary; BUT, the Word of God tells us in Philippians 2:9-10 that the name of Jesus is above all, and only at the name of Jesus are we to bow. Catholics elevate the name of Mary, incontrovertibly, far above the name of Jesus. To elevate Mary in any capacity is a wicked sin. WOE UNTO CATHOLICS!!!
The Bible NEVER recognizes Mary. The Apostle Paul in all of his Epistles NEVER said anything about Mary. Nothing in the Old Testament praises Mary. Jesus NEVER asked us to recognize Mary, nor to recite a religious chant called the Rosary. The Rosary is straight from the pits of Hell. Mary CANNOT do anything to help you, and she certainly has no power to offer you anything. 1st Timothy 2:5 tells us that Jesus Christ is the ONE MEDIATOR. If you trust the lying Vatican, and place your faith in reciting the Rosary for all that Our Lady of Fatima allegedly promised, then you are destined for a horrifying nightmare when you are cast into the Lake of Fire.
Only you can send yourself to
Hell, and if you do end up there, you'll hate yourself for all eternity for
being so stupid. You can go to Heaven for free, simply by trusting in the
Gospel. The “Gospel” according to 1st Corinthians 15:1-4 is that Jesus
Christ died on the cross for OUR SINS, He was buried, and three days later
He bodily resurrected for our justification. If you acknowledge that you are
a guilty sinner in the eyes of your holy God, and you BELIEVE the Gospel,
you are immediately and forever saved. Salvation is not doing your best, it
is having Christ's best put to your account through receiving Him by faith.
God will not save anyone who is trying to be saved, He will only save those
who are trusting to be saved. If you receive Christ's sacrifice on the cross
as full-payment for your sins, you are saved, plain and simple. To be
“saved” is to be “born-again” by God's Holy Spirit.
In closing, Catholicism is a fraudulent hoax. From the cradle to the casket, the Catholic Church offers a religious menagerie of formalistic rituals and ceremonialism. Catholics have churchianity without Christianity, religion without repentance, and teachings without truth. The entire matter of Our Lady of Fatima leaves off the Word of God. The Rosary is a foreign concept to the Bible. In fact, much of the dogma of the Catholic Church disagrees 100% with the Word of God, the very Book which they claim to believe. Religion is a slippery road into Hellfire. People ignorantly sing... “Give me that old time religion.” No sir! Give me Jesus! Salvation is NOT found in any religion, but in a Person—the Lord Jesus Christ!
