Tell me about the magical soothsayer power of the rosary beads and where it is found in the Bible.

Explain how these are not classified ad idols.

Catholics claim to uphold the Law of Moses right?

Exodus 20:

3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.

5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them:

“Tell me about the magical soothsayer power of the rosary beads and where it is found in the Bible.”

LOL “magical soothsayer power” LOL

They help you keep track of which prayer you’re on.

I hope you go to heaven and I hope your mental illness gets treated there.

Catholics are not constrained by Luther’s big lie: sola scriptura.

Prots preach it daily, however none can resist from going to resources outside the Bible.

Our Lady’s Rosary is not in the Bible. But I’m not constrained by “sola scriptura” to prove it’s efficacy.

Foxe is not in the Bible yet you reject your own creed of “sola scriptura” to source him.

Why waste time fondling beads; when a scapular can save you instead!!


 

While the rosary, the 
Memorare, and other prayers are wonderfully powerful ways to intercede for others, Our Blessed Mother decided, in 1840, to help us get a little more creative in regards to how we pray for healing and spiritual conversion for the people in our lives.

Exactly six years later, Mary appeared again, and Sr. Justine asked her these important questions. Our Lady’s reply was surprisingly simple and rather intriguing:

“This scapular is not like others [it is not based on a religious habit] but merely two holy images on a single piece of material. Therefore, no special formula is required to bless it or enroll someone in its use. It suffices that it be blessed by a Catholic priest and worn by the one whom we desire to benefit by Our Lady’s intercession. If, on the other hand, the person is unable, or even unwilling, to wear it or carry it, it may even be slipped, unknown to them, into their clothes, possessions, home or work environments, etc."
