Ubenedictus: even in d lords prayer there is 'prayer of praise" there. What is "hallowed b thy name" if it isnt praise? So in ur village praise isnt a type of prayer?

Have you heard some thing like this before "every water is liquid but not every liquid is water." I want you to start thinking like that atimes.

Go back to chemistry and learn separation techniques. Then you can now tell which one is prayer and which one is praise.

Ubenedictus: open ur bible to rev, u will find them doing their "holy,holy holy" yet u are telling me that any repetition is pagan.

Did it say the angels prayed "holy holy holy?"

I have a feeling Boomark is just trying to make us laugh.

As for me -ve decided to just read his posts and laugh...as I'd do at a comedy show.

So can you define PRAYER for us...

So that we can know what it is.

Ol boy where did I mention solar system? What I am talking about is sola bible which simple means bible alone doctrine.

You are predicating your argument that the rosary is wrong simply because it is not in the bible.so my point goes thus; where is this doctrine of bible alone taught in the bible? Is there any scriptural backing for this doctrine?

Did the biblical authours believe in this doctrine?

Is martin luther not the originator of these doctrine?

The catholic,orthodox and indeed all apostolic churches do not subscribe to these doctrine.It is simply a doctrine which fails to proove itself

I was just being sarcastic....

The word sola just reminded me of the solar system....lol...

So back to the sola bible issue.......

if you won't base your doctrines on the scriptures then on what would you base it??..

Now I see why you guys resorted to hijacking paganism...

Is that not it??....

Now can you kindly tell me if the apostles used the rosary or beads in worship....

That's what I've been asking....

Let's read ephesians 2:19,20
Ephesians 2:19-20
New International Version (NIV)
19 Consequently, you are no longer foreigners
and strangers, but fellow citizens with God’s
people and also members of his household,
20 built on the foundation of the apostles and
prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the
chief cornerstone.
------------------------------------------------
You guys forget that our foundation is suppose to be on the prophets,the apostles and Jesus(the chief corner stone)...

Anything that has its origin outside this foundation is spurious....

Hope you now see why the scriptures should be our final authority and not some pagan cherry picked practices......

Even Jesus quoted from the scriptures to show prove pertinent points on worship...

I wonder why you guys should move outside the confines of the scriptures to explain ""worship""....

For the final time:::

DID THE PROPHETS,JESUS and the APOSTLES use prayer beads in worship??

Those same Jews had earlier known how. Angels materialized and was welcomed by there fore-fathers........

Even you cannot proove your sola bible doctrine then there is no basis for your argument so asking me to show you anything does not even arise.

Even Jesus himself quoted outside the bible when he spoke about the murder of the prophet zechariah.So many other biblical authours quoted outside the bible or even referred to books outside the bible.

Simple put the concept of sola bible has no logical or scriptural basis

Jesus talked about the death of prophet zechariah.......

and that was a tradition Jesus adopted from pagans??........

How does that even relate to your using the rosary in worship.....??..

Jesus quoted from the law to buttress his points on worship....

Jesus didn't snatch a pagan practice to worship his Father.....

Did Joshua your mentor also use beads too in worship??....

So the development that saw the need of using prayer beads in worship escaped the notice of all servants of God in the past including the apostles and Jesus,but was discovered by UBE and his coLleagues...

Sorry my brother...

we've exposed what led to that development.....love for pagan practices(paganism) is what led to it......

The buddhists and muslims set that pattern for you guys and not the holy spirit or the apostles who worshipped God in spirit and in truth...

Did you read that ephesians 2:19,20 I quoted??...

It seems you dodged it....
