The use of the Rosary is a common exercise among a large number of Christians, especially among the Roman Catholics. I wish to establish a vital point here, this point is that the truth revealed here are strictly (and only) scriptural based; it is not based on prejudice, dogma, denominational doctrine or hearsay (i.e Rev this or that said) & hence not targeted at any group but meant to edify every reader, and therefore is not posted for any purpose of argument. Every comments, suggestions, questions or perhaps arguments must be backed up with at least 2 scriptures that explains your claim. Every point is treated objectively, no sentiments, being one of the basic problem we have in Christendom.
FOCAL TEXT: "No soldier when in service gets entangled in the enterprises of [civilian] life; his aim is to satisfy and please the one who enlisted him. And if anyone enters competitive games, he is not crowned unless he competes lawfully (fairly, according to the rules laid down (2Timothy 2:4-5)"

Any point raised quoting any man other than the Almighty God, Christ Jesus, the Prophets and Apostles documented in the Bible is very irrelevant and must not be used seeing that the Bible is the ultimate check for Truth and Christian practices. Below are some reasons to quit the Rosary:

1. Mother Mary is called the Queen of heaven according to a Roman Catholic book called 'More about Fatima'. In that book, the unbiblical lady Fatima (the acclaimed Blessed Mary), maintained that she is the queen of heaven. God calls honouring the queen of heaven idolatry in Jeremiah 7:16-20

2. Prayer to any saint or angelic being (Mother Mary or Angel Mommon) as a mediator to Christ and Christ to God and the term "Mother of God" is unscriptural as revealed in John 14:6, Acts 4:12

3. The Bible foretold the times which we are in when men shall preach personal convictions, themselves, logics and unscriptural doctrines having been deceived by demons and voices in appearances as angel of light as found in Colossians 2:21-22, 2Timothy 3:1-8, 1Timothy 4:1-3. (Note that neither Christ nor the Apostles instituted the use of the Rosary).

4. God had never approved the use of images, objects or any kind of articles and even material vessels for worship in the new testament church, neither Chaplet nor Cross as seen in Exodus 20:4-5, 1Corinthians 6:13-17,19-20.

5. The virgin conception of Mary, blessed is she, does not imply an establishment of paternity, partnership or kingdom between The Father, the Holy Spirit and St. Mary; rather it is for a sign as seen in Isaiah 7:14. Again, Christ Jesus while on calvary tree saw St. Mary, the Blessed, and John, and said, "woman behold your son. And to John he said 'behold your mother as seen in John 19:25-27. In other words, Jesus meant to say, "woman, your son is John not me; for I came to die and exactly this have I done as you can see for yourself".

6. Blessed Mary, the said initiator of the Rosary claims no right with Christ. She calls Him LORD or MASTER. And Christ in turn calls her WOMAN and strictly frowns at anyone, for every single moment, that esteems Him as the son of Joseph and Mary as seen in Matthew 12:47-50, John 2:4

7. Christ Jesus gave a prayer guideline as seen in Matthew 6:9-13, Luke 11:1-6. In this guideline of prayer the things recited in Rosary were (and are) neither mentioned nor included.

8. The Rosary or anything spelt ROSARY is not found anywhere in the Holy Bible; neither the glorious apparitions nor the chaplet. Don't quote history that is not documented in the Bible. Moreso, it wasn't Blessed Mary that was recommended by Christ Jesus to be remembered throughout generations, though she would be, but the woman who ministered oil on him, most likely Mary Magdalene, the same way He didn't ask that His birth be celebrated at all (call it chrismas), but His death as seen in Mark 14:9, Luke 22:9, 1Corinthian 11:34-25 respectively. These matters are been disobeyed because of man's institution and the ignorance of many people, especially Christians.

9. Holy angels do not accept any slightest sort of worship, neither do they accept to be prayed to nor take responsibility for it and hence, it is unscriptural to say that the accurate and complete recitation of the Rosary will cleanse, cover or outweigh the user's sin and other such promises as we have been taught. Read Revelation 22:8-9,18-19.

10. I read a story from the book, The Wonders of the Rosary. In this book, the story told of an evil, notorious and ungodly king who wore the Chaplet as adornment: the finger rosary on his finger, chaplet on wrist, neck and waist. He died, as the story told, and was however justified by Mary who weighed the King's atrocities on one side of a scale and his religious adornments on the other and found that his gadgets outweighed his sins. Is this scriptural? BIG LIE! Read Galatians 6:7, 1Timothy 4:1.

11. Still in the same book, The Wonders of the Rosary, there were many accounts where the images of Mary, the said initiator of the Rosary, performed many wonders like speaking and appearing to people, mysterious killing and death of any Reverend Father or Priest who dare to preach against instituting it into the church for general worship, Her images weeping and a times talking, the healing of sick people in some hospitals where Her images were kept... Did not the bible foretold of the Antichrist that will do wonders through images by giving it life? Read Revelation 13:15, 2Corinthian 11:14.

12. Do we have 2 mediators in heaven or has Blessed Mary taken the place of Christ in the job? We were taught as Roman Catholics that we don't worship Mary but that we adore her and, as many times as possible, pray to her to plead our case with Christ who pleads with The Father. Howbeit, we were neither taught that whoever we say our prayers to is our god, nor taught that adoration is also a form of worship. Christ frankly said that every prophet, Shepherd or mediator that came before Him or that will come after Him are never the true or everlasting mediator except Himself as seen in John 10:8, Matthew 24:23-24.

13. Did GOD, the Father and creator, instruct us to listen to Prophetess Mary, Blessed Fatimas, Queen of the heavens or to HIS son prophesied of throughout the scriptures? Of course, HE chose Christ, not the Blessed Mary, as His Voice in the endtime church as found in Mark 9:7, Hebrew 7:21-22

14. The introduction of the Rosary came approximately 1500 year after the Bible have been completed and confirmed. Remember that God, the Father, never allowed the scriptures to be compiled until all the books that made up the Holy Bible were gathered unaltered. God safely kept the following books of the Bible: Ezra, Ruth, Nehemiah, Esther, some parts of Jeremiah, Daniel among nations like Egypt, Medes, Persian, and Babylon; and HE gathered the various books that made up the book of Psalms. GOD, also, safely preserved and made delivery of the book of Revelation written as far into the S-Western, the Island of Patmos by John, the beloved. If HE wanted the rosary included into the Bible, couldn't HE have done it? Read Hebrew 10:15-29,38.

15. The Bible testifies of Christ Jesus right from Genesis till the last Chapter of the book of Revelation, nothing that lengthy was written or prophesied of Mary, especially after the birth of Christ. In the book of Revelation, John the beloved mentioned her as it was revealed to him about what transpired in the spirit realm when Christ was born. How the devil, the red dragon, wanted to kill Christ using Herod but couldn't because God's hand took Him. And God sent Mary to a safe land. Now can we find any 3 other accounts of the Blessed Mary's role in the salvation of mankind except the birth of christ? Revelation 12:1-9,11, Ecclesiastic 9:8

16. The events that surrounded the apparition and preceding introduction of the Rosary through a Reverend Father's encounter and that of the 3 Shepherd kids that sealed it as written in Catholic encyclopedia had been foretold through prophet Ezekiel. And God frowned at it; He called it idolatry and abomination IN THE HOUSE OF THE LORD, not elsewhere but right in the Church, as seen in the book of Ezekiel 8:7-16.

17. Sometimes, our priest and teachers argue that just as the bronze serpent God asked Moses to mold and lift up in the wilderness is symbolic, so also is the using of religious objects like the chaplet and reciting of the Rosary. I learnt in later years that our teachers were wrong. They had limited knowledge of the scriptures and consequentially taught us the wrong message. They perhaps didn't dare to study the Bible for themselves but abode in what they were taught or just maybe, they are afraid of a whole change from their usual practices that may look like beginning their lives all over again. Either ways, I learnt that the bronze serpent is the similitude of Christ's crucifixion as prophesied in the book of Hosea and documented in the gospel when Jesus said, "if the son of man be lifted up as Moses did the bronzen serpent in the wilderness, He shall draw souls unto himself". This, notwithstanding, God moved King Hezekiah to destroy the bronze serpent because the people adore it and pray to it. When he did so, GOD, the Father was pleased as seen in 2kings 18:1-4. This means that God began to see that Bronze Serpert as idolatrous. Could HE not just have consider the Rosary idolatrous seeing that the spirit behind it is unscriptural...

18. The LORD GOD, Jehovah yaweh, the father of our Lord Jesus Christ and Creator of all, is a JEALOSE God. To please Him will mean to do all things His way, no less no more. If it were not so, and if it is not worth so, the likes of King James, Martin Luther, John Knox, Foxe, the historian preacher and other ex-Roman Catholic priests and brethren who lead the protestant Reformation wouldn't have died fighting. They became martyrs because they saw the Rosary and Celibacy as SINFUL as they're unbiblical. Read Exodus 20:5b, 1Timothy 4:1-6, Revelation 21:8.

19. Furthermore, remember that after Aaron, the priest molded the calf, he said to the people, "Israel, behold your God who brought you out of Egypt". Note that he didn't mentioned any other god but God that saved them. This means that he had only THEIR God, the God who appeared to Moses and their fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and perhaps Aaron may have had a vision of Christ as the Calf of God instead of been the Lamb of God. This must mean that any misrepresentation with the right motives has a penalty and equal to damnation. So Moses asked, "WHO IS ON THE LORD'S SIDE?" Exodus 32:1-26

20. Finally, what differentiates a Christian praying with the chaplet and reciting the Rosary from a Muslim praying with his dhikr, a chaplet-like prayer bead? Nothing, seeing that they take the same or similar posture, do recitation, standing, kneeling and eventually bowing. Where is my honor, asks the LORD? Malachi 1:6

As seen in Numbers 21:8-9, 2King 18:1-4, God may have used these things, the apparitions, the Rosary, to cause healing against apostasy in those years but today, "THEY HAVE BECOME IDOLATROUS IN HIS EYES". Keep off!!!
"What agreement [can there be between] a temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God; even as God said, I will dwell in and with and among them and will walk in and with and among them, and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. So, come out from among [unbelievers], and separate (sever) yourselves from them, says the Lord, and touch not [any] unclean thing; then I will receive you kindly and treat you with favor. And I will be a Father to you, and you shall be My sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty" (2Corinthians 6:16-18AMPV).

Don't be King Agrippa, who instead of believing, accepting and practicing the truth simply entertained his intellect as seen in:
"Then Agrippa said to Paul, You think it a small task to make a Christian of me [just offhand to induce me with little ado and persuasion, at very short notice] (Acts 26:28AMPV)"
"Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian (Acts 26:28KJV).

even if God sends an Angel to instruct you to start praying the rosary you would still not harken to his voice...... Arguing with you would make no sense so lemme keep praying that you receive the grace for true wisdom and love for the CHURCH.

bros dey are many unconverted I souls, Muslim's alone are 1.6billion and rising go cast your net der n leave the Catholic Church alone,

I will do so while at the same, it's imperative to make sure that those who already believed are not in error.
