Mary confessed that she was already saved before Jesus died on the Cross. “ My Spirit rejoices in God my saviour “. Mary was saved before she could fall into sin, we are saved after we fell into sin.
Mary’s special mission to conceive Jesus Christ required her to be saved from sin.
That is an illogical comment. Saying she rejoices in God her savior does not mean she never sinned. Every sinner that is saved can say the same thing, does that mean they never sinned?
The Romans quote is referring to all the nations falling short, the Jews weren’t any better than anyone else. So it’s not referring to every individual.
Nations do not sin people do. Are now saying that multiple people are sinless?
The essential prayers to be recited are three: the Paternoster (Our Father), the Ave Maria (Hail Mary), and the Gloria. Crossing oneself on the forehead and breast, the creed is first recited, then
one Paternoster, followed by
ten Aves and the Gloria, to which if desired other set prayers can be added. So you spend more time praying to mary than you do to God. The question is why? She can not save, she can not forgive sin, she is not better than any other sinner, just like the rest of us she needed a savior.
The rosary is the words of scripture, and praying to Mary is fine. What is banned is worshipping Mary which is making sacrifices, which we don’t, never have.
Those prayers are just asking her to pray for us.
Well if you think you need to make a sacrifice for it to be considered worship then I have to ask, when was the last time you or anyone you know of made a sacrifice to Christ Jesus. By your logic the RCC does not even worship Christ.
Are these the words of the rosary regarding mary?
"Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you; blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. Amen."
If the early Christians would rather suffer death than say "hail Cesar" as it was considered worship of him to do so why does the RCC
think it is right to say it in the rosary of mary?
Vain repetition is a false translation. The Greek says battalog. Babble, which was a practice of pagans at the time, in the hopes that certain sounds would please the gods.
You mean like saying the same prayer over and over, use vain repetitions G945. "to repeat the same things over and over, to use many idle words, to babble, prate" Thayer So your saying the the repetition of the Ava is really no different than what the pagans did. So saying the ava is in the hope of pleasing God.
The Rosary is primarily a meditation of Jesus life from Conception to His Ascension into Heaven.
The Lord’s Prayer and the words of scripture are neither “ vain repetitions “ or babble, they are the Holy Word of God.
Are you now calling the ava the words of scripture? I hope you have not fallen that far.
