Hey Boys and Girls, Let’s Pray the Rosary!!

[Protestant]

Today, boys and girls, we will pray the Luminous Mysteries.

Why today? Because it’s Thursday.

Why Thursday? Because the Church said so. And nobody contradicts Holy Mother the Church.

First, we must begin with definitions.

Luminous: full of or shedding light; bright or shining, especially in the dark.

It is by no small coincidence that Satan is given the name ‘Lucifer,’ the one who brings light.

And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.

Mystery: a religious truth that one can know only by revelation.

It is by no small coincidence that the false church depicted in Rev. 17 is Mystery Babylon, the apostate mother church.

And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.

Have you been given the revelation as to the identity of this abominable false church?

If not, here are some hints:

The first Luminous Mystery is the Baptism in the Jordan.

By this mystery we are to understand the Roman Catholic Church orthodox in its teaching of the biblical Christian view of the Trinity.

This is a condition necessary to the fulfilling of the prophecy of Mystery Babylon, the apostate professing Christian church.

The second Luminous Mystery is the Wedding at Cana.

By this mystery we are to understand three things:

1. Jesus always obeys Mary’s commands.

2. Always pray to Jesus through Mary if you want your prayers answered.

3. Marriage is one of the seven sacraments of the Roman Church.

The third Luminous Mystery is the Proclamation of the Kingdom.

By this mystery we are to understand two things:

1. Peter is the rock upon whom the Church is built.

2. Peter and all his apostolic papal descendents have been given the keys by which they rule the Church; opening or closing the kingdom of Heaven at will.

The forth Luminous Mystery is the Transfiguration.

By this mystery we are to understand that all faithful Catholics are to be transfigured like Jesus and therefore have no need to ‘try the spirits to see if their church’s teachings be so.’

The fifth Luminous Mystery is the Institution of the Eucharist.

By this mystery we are to understand two things:

1. The biblical orthodoxy of the doctrine of Transubstantiation.

2. The biblical orthodoxy of the sacrificial nature of the Mass.

The Rosary begins with the Apostles Creed, followed by one Our Father, three Hail Marys (traditionally offered for an increase in faith, hope, and charity for those praying the Rosary), a Glory Be, and, if desired, the Fatima Prayers. Next come five mysteries, each consisting of one Our Father, ten Hail Marys, a Glory Be, and, if desired, the Fatima Prayers. Conclude with the Hail Holy Queen. Please say a few extra prayers after the Hail Holy Queen for the Pope.

Okay, boys and girls, let’s clutch our Rosary beads and begin counting!

Ummmm, not sure about entering what will become an affray, but here goes....I pray the rosary daily, I never pray the Luminous mysteries which are a recent innovation. The 3 rosaries I do pray are a meditation on the life of Christ. I also pray for the Pope because he has the most unenviable job on Earth.

How can you meditate on the life of Christ when you are saying a rote prayer - and one to Mary, no less?

Also, I'd say that there are quite a few more jobs that are more "unenviable" than being the head of the Roman Catholic Church. Doctor to Ebola patients, port-a-potty cleaners, proctologist, just to name a few...

My question is: What is the purpose of praying the rosary?

My question is: What is the purpose of praying the rosary?

According to Roman Catholic legend the Rosary was given to St. Dominic, founder of the heretic-hunting ‘Hounds of the Lord’ Dominican Order, by the Virgin Mary as a means to help convert the obstinate ‘heretical’ Albigenses.

Throughout the centuries, the Holy Rosary has been an important element among the Dominicans. Pope Pius XI stated that:

The Rosary of Mary is the principle and foundation on which the very Order of Saint Dominic rests for making perfect the life of its members and obtaining the salvation of others.

Histories of the Holy Rosary often attribute its origin to Saint Dominic himself through the Blessed Virgin Mary. Our Lady of the Rosary is the title received by the Marian apparition to Saint Dominic in 1208 in the church of Prouille in which the Virgin Mary gave the Rosary to him. For centuries, Dominicans have been instrumental in spreading the rosary and emphasizing the Catholic belief in the power of the rosary.

The Dominicans were infamous for their unrelenting zealous cruelty during the Albigensian Crusades.

In previous posts I have proved the Albigenses to be pious Christians, the innocent victims of the blood-thirsty harlot Church of Rome.

Consider that every time a Roman Catholic prays the Rosary he/she is participating in the worship of Satan, who was a murderer from the beginning.
