You know not whereof you speak. The Rosary consists of the Lord’s Prayer (entirely biblical) and the Hail Mary (mentioned above) plus the Apostle’s Creed. And “Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.” Also basically biblical.

And you might look at the text of the Wedding Feast of Cana, where Jesus tells the servers, “Do whatever she tells you.”

You said Protestants should pray to God, but your head honcho was talking about praying to Mary. We certainly pray to God, while Rome prays to the ceiling...

And, you may wish to read Matt. 12 or Luke 8...anyone doing His will is His mother. Mary is no more special than any believer.

Wow, talk about taking things out of context.

This had to do with Jesus performing His first miracle. It had nothing to do with Jesus telling others to follow and worship hi mother as if she were God.

Otherwise He would not have made the statement in Mark 3:31-35 where He exclaimed, "Who is My mother and brothers" when they came get Him because they thought he was crazy.

Oh wait. You don't believe in this passage though, because it proves that Jesus didn't think Mary was a God, and that it supports Matthew 1:25 which states that Mary was NOT a perpetual virgin. In fact it is written in a way that states Jesus was Mary's first child, but not her only child.

However, back to the rosary beads. Nowhere can you prove that the rosary is something that God told us to use in prayer.
