WRONG.
The Rosary is not the weapon for these times. It is a pagan prayer to Mary.
In Ephesians 6 Paul outlined our spiritual warfare needs and the Rosary wasn't a part of that.
Sorry, I don't follow the false, pagan beliefs of the pope or this "church." I follow what THE Book says, not some guy who says atheists, pagans, homosexuals, all will go to heaven without repentance of their sins against a Holy God, who WILL NOT allow them into His heaven if they have not repented.
Bro, you're post is so wrong on so many levels.
I can see your seminary training did not equip you to handle the Scriptures. You may can recite the Mass in Latin, but you cannot handle the Scriptures.
Read John 6:66 in context.
*****
60Therefore many of His disciples, when they heard this said, “This is a difficult statement; who can listen to it?”
61But Jesus, conscious that His disciples grumbled at this, said to them, “Does this cause you to stumble?
62“What then if you see the Son of Man ascending to where He was before?
63“It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing; the words that I have spoken to you are spirit and are life.
64“But there are some of you who do not believe.” For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who did not believe, and who it was that would betray Him.
65And He was saying, “For this reason I have said to you, that no one can come to Me unless it has been granted him from the Father.”
66As a result of this many of His disciples withdrew and were not walking with Him anymore.
67So Jesus said to the twelve, “You do not want to go away also, do you?”
68Simon Peter answered Him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have words of eternal life.
69“We have believed and have come to know that You are the Holy One of God.”
John 6:66-69 NASB
What he DIDN'T say:
Can you explain to me why "pagans" would want a prayer that commemorates the events in the life of Jesus? The last two of the twenty mysteries of the Rosary concern Mary alone. The first 18 concern Jesus, beginning with the Annunciation and ending with the Resurrection. Which pagans commemorate those events?
In Ephesians 6 Paul outlined our spiritual warfare needs and the Rosary wasn't a part of that.
Believe it or not, some Christian devotions were invented after the time that the Bible was written. There's nothing wrong with that, unless you believe that the Holy Spirit went to sleep after the last page of Scripture was penned. Of course, Scripture knows nothing of that idea.
Wow. Just wow. I have not seen so much deluded twisted interpretation of the little scripture the poster uses along with blatant mariology in a coordinated screed ever. I don’t even know where to start.
Satan is more that happy to start with truth and derail the train into error. He doesn’t mind acknowledging Christ if he can divert the attention to Mary.
He gets the added benefit if making you feel holy and superior to the rest of us for your idolatry.
Martin Luther had an intense devotion to Mary. Pick better battles.
This is an Internet hoax that has been thoroughly debunked by astronomers.
*****
It is pagan in that it is a prayer TO Mary We are to pray to the Creator and not the created.
IF the Rosary is said correctly there are at least 50 prayers to Mary.
Just a little bit of poison in a cake will be fatal to the one who eats the cake.
Rome has mixed in false teachings with some Truth. The Jews in the OT did this and there were serious consequences.

Those devotions must be measured against Scripture. As noted above the Rosary fails that test.
IF praying to Mary was the best way to fight Satan then Paul or Peter or one of the other writers of the NT would have noted that.
Recall when the disciples asked Jesus to teach them to pray...what did He teach them?
The Rosary? Nope.
The Lord's Prayer aka the Our Father.
IF I followed Martin Luther I'd worry about that.
I follow Christ. The battle continues.
GREAT CATCH!!!!
This Roman Catholic priest is a loon and there are Roman Catholics believing this guy. LOL!
Talk about delusional.
I believe that the grand finale of this period of the “great tribulation” (Mt 24:21) will occur in October 2024, when Nibiru, the planet that NASA discovered for the first time in 1983, will pass too close to our planet Earth.
Once you fall for one delusion you'll fall for another.
” What he DIDN’T say:
“Wow, don’t sweat it, I was only using a figure of speech”
He didn’t need to. Nor did he need to explain that he was not literally a vine:
““I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. 2 Every branch in me that does not produce fruit he removes, and he prunes every branch that produces fruit so that it will produce more fruit. “ - John 15
He also never said he was joking about being the gate:
“I am the gate. If anyone enters by me, he will be saved and will come in and go out and find pasture.” - John 10
Do you believe this statement from a Roman Catholic priest?
WHAT!??
They lost the literal body of Jesus?
sayitaintso
Hi gang! What’s going on in here?
https://www.space.com/15551-nibiru.html says Nibiru is not real.
