Praying repetitive words using Rosary beads is forbidden
By Steve Rud
#FACT:
Catholics pray repetitive words with Rosary Beads that were first invented in
1090 AD, by "Peter the Hermit" and made popular by St. Dominic in
1208 AD.
Catholics
believe that Mary appeared to St. Dominic in 1208 AD, at the church of Prouille
and revealed the Rosary Beads to him. From this time, Catholics prayed 15 sets
of 10 consecutive "hail Marys" in a row (150 times), in the Rosary.
However, in 2003 AD, Pope John Paul added a new set of Mysteries, so now it is
20 sets of 10 "Hail Marys", (200 times in the Rosary, in total.)
Catholics will vainly appeal to Psalm 136 that alternates the same phrase 26
times with 26 different blessings God gives us. It is not 26 in a row as with
the rosary! This is also a song, not a prayer. Revelation 4:8 has "angels
singing" not "men praying".
Roman Catholics borrowed
the idea of praying with beads from the pagan religions who were already using
them hundreds of years before:
In 456 AD, Hindus are
thought to have introduced the concept of praying with beads to the world. The
earliest reference to a rosary (boberkhas) is in their "Jain Canon"
(456 AD) These boberkhas had various numbers of beads 6,9,12,18,36 (any
sub-multiple of 108) Islam (610 AD) uses a rosary of 99 beads, one for each of
the names of God. Buddhists have 108 prayer beads on the string. The Rosary is
of pagan origin and no Christian prior to 1000 AD used beads to pray.
#Question #1: Did Jesus forbid repetitive prayer
using Rosary Beads?
#Answer: Matthew 6:7 o YES!!!!
"And when you are praying, do not use meaningless repetition as the Gentiles do, for they suppose that they will be heard for their many words.
