Let God be the judge. If you are observant you will know that the rosary itself has the symbol of the cross. Catholics honor Mary not worship, please I will advice you tell any good catholic around you to teach you the wordings or recitations so you can understand very well. Catholics say Glory be to God and honor to Mary, there is a reason why it is not Glory be to Mary and Honor to God. Catholic beg God for forgiveness not Mary. You need somebody to teach you the recitation so you can understand properly. If you have good intention not being blasphemous you will certainly understand. You can not get everything online. God bless us all

See let me tell you something....

I'm not here to malign you and your religion,I'm only here to attack paganism....

If the pharisees saw Jesus carving marys image or some other amulets and praying through them,or using prayer beads and then castigated Jesus,I would have supported them...

Unlike Jesus,you italo is been reprimanded for practicing idolatry...

Jesus wasn't an idolater neither was his apostles....

For you to keep defending why you use prayer beads(a.k.a rosary) in worship,a custom of pagans has got me surprised...

Even when a practice is blatantly wrong you go ahead to defend it because of the traditions of men....

If I ask you to tell me how the use of the rosary came about,I know you'll run all around the place just to give an answer...

.....

If telling a brother to discard items and objects(amulets),which God says we should would strengthen his faith,then no wahala.......

I wonder how your faith is been strengthened with so much images and carvings around you....

I'm speaking to you as a brother and not an enemy...

Thank you..

ok i done that

Question: "What does the Bible say about confession of sin to a priest?"

Answer: The concept of confession of sin to a priest is nowhere taught in Scripture. First, the New Testament does not teach that there are to be priests in the New Covenant. Instead, the New Testament teaches that all believers are priests. First Peter 2:5-9 describes believers as a “holy priesthood” and a “royal priesthood.” Revelation 1:6 and 5:10 both describe believers as “a kingdom of priests.” In the Old Covenant, the faithful had to approach God through the priests. The priests were mediators between the people and God. The priests offered sacrifices to God on behalf of the people. That is no longer necessary. Because of Jesus’ sacrifice, we can now approach God’s throne with boldness (Hebrews 4:16). The temple veil tearing in two at Jesus’ death was symbolic of the dividing wall between God and humanity being destroyed. We can approach God directly, ourselves, without the use of a human mediator. Why? Because Jesus Christ is our great High Priest (Hebrews 4:14-15; 10:21) and the only mediator between us and God (1 Timothy 2:5). The New Testament teaches that there are to be elders (1 Timothy 3), deacons (1 Timothy 3), bishops (Titus 1:6-9), and pastors (Ephesians 4:11) – but not priests.

When it comes to confession of sin, believers are told in 1 John 1:9 to confess their sins to God. God is faithful and just to forgive our sins as we confess them to Him. James 5:16 speaks of confessing our trespasses “to one another,” but this is not the same as confessing sins to a priest as the Roman Catholic Church teaches. Priests / church leaders are nowhere mentioned in the context of James 5:16. Further, James 5:16 does not link forgiveness of sins with the confession of sins “to one another.”

The Roman Catholic Church bases their practice of confession to a priest primarily on Catholic tradition. Catholics do point to John 20:23, “If you forgive anyone his sins, they are forgiven; if you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven.” From this verse, Catholics claim that God gave the apostles the authority to forgive sins and that authority was passed on to the successors of the apostles, i.e., the bishops and priests of the Roman Catholic Church. There are several problems with this interpretation. (1) John 20:23 nowhere mentions confession of sin. (2) John 20:23 nowhere promises or even hints that apostolic authority of any kind would be passed on to the successors of the apostles. (3) The apostles never once in the New Testament acted as if they had the authority to forgive a person’s sin. Similarly, Catholics point to Matthew 16:19 and 18:18 (binding and loosing) as evidence for the Catholic Church’s authority to forgive sins. The same three above points apply equally to these Scriptures.

The ability to forgive sins is God’s and His alone (Isaiah 43:25). The better understanding of John 20:23 is that the apostles were given the responsibility of declaring with utmost certainty the terms on which God would forgive sins. As the church was being founded, the apostles declared that those who believed the gospel were forgiven (Acts 16:31) and those who did not obey the gospel faced judgment (2 Thessalonians 1:8; 1 Peter 4:17). As the apostles proclaimed salvation in Christ (Acts 10:43) and exercised church discipline (1 Corinthians 5:4–5), they were wielding the authority Christ had given them.

Again, the concept of confession of sin to a priest is nowhere taught in Scripture. We are to confess our sins to God (1 John 1:9). As New Covenant believers, we do not need mediators between us and God. We can go to God directly because of Jesus’ sacrifice for us. First Timothy 2:5 says, “For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.”

What's this? I remember the day's when the Catholic Churches had confession boxers-after speaking to the Priest about the sins I had done, the priest would say-your sins are forgiven, don't do them again.
I don't recall, not even once, the priest said, God had forgiven you.
And no-one is trying to convert the Catholic's, but we are hear to confess the truth to all Catholic's, only because the Catholic's believe, not the bible-but your own doctrine-scriptures that doesn't match up with bible prophesy.
Four of Ten Commandments, rejected by the Catholic Church.
You shall not have any other "god's before Me" {Praying to Mary and the Saints}
You shall make "No idols" {Making Images of Statues in the likeness of Heaven on Earth and under the Earth, let's look into the Vatican}
You shall not take the Name of the Lord your God in vain" {Mary's name stands above any other Name}

The way you are going I would not be surprise if you say Catholic worship the priest too. You are so so funny and myopic to understand that the priest is telling you God has forgiven you. A Winner pastor once told you are Forgiven and sin no more when I visited, your sins are forgiven, in as much he did not mention God in his statement I knew exactly what he meant because he prayed in Jesus name. The priest you confessed must have prayed for you in the name of Jesus. Bro repent from propaganda. If you wish to continue then ride on.

The Rosary's are a sign of witchcraft, the cross, the statues are images of symbol's that reflects back to paganism, Look up the witchcraft column.
{Matthew 6:6} But when you pray go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen, then your Father who see's what is done in secret, will reward you.
Jesus made it so simple for us to understand who to Pray too, praying the Rosaries-bowing down to statues or even a cross isn't praying straight to God-these are signs of idol worship-this is classed as witchcraft in the eye's of the Lord.
Everything that's forbidden is not of God.

The Word clearly states that Joseph and Mary did have sexual union after Jesus was born-Jesus had four half brothers, and also He had half Sisters {Matthew 13:55-56}

The bible says iron sharpeneth Iron. Christians are not bashing themselves they are actually telling themselves the truth. Jesus came among Jews the so called people of God and was against many of their believes made by men. Men have adulterated the word of God deceived by devil and his agent queen of heaven, until we follow the instructions of the bible or Jesus no man shall make Heaven. Act the Word of God, make Heaven or Act the word of Men and you Perish Forever. it your will to choose, choose Right. God bless u, shalom.

You lack simple wisdom even while quoting so much verses, why was Mary chosen? why was it not your sister, girl friend, mum, grand mother, or your Pastors' wife? Please leave Catholics alone, we want to honor Mary and worship God. Even in Islam Mary is also recognize. If you can beg your Pastor, mother, friends, relatives to pray for you, what is then wrong in Catholics asking Mary or Saints to pray for them? Keep wasting your time spreading propaganda.
