damerry: ^^^ Haven't tried it yet. Just want to know if it's right because i haven't seen or heard such. ( kinda weird )

Anyway It won't distract because listening to d music on normal basics makes me feel I'm not alone, it gives a feeling of her presence and i do occasionally make one or two prayer request with full concentration and Love as d music plays.

If there is no Law against such I'll start using it for my rosary recitation/meditations
If it does not distract your meditation/concentration, it cannot be wrong. You need to try it first,I actually feel you may not succeed since the rosary is a verbal prayer and not solely meditative. Its worth a try though.

Psalm 45:6-9 "Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom is a right sceptre...upon thy right hand did stand the queen in gold of Ophir.

Heb 1:6 "And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.
Heb 1:8 " But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom


Are these passages related?

Who is speaking?
Who is he talking to?
Where is the throne?
who stands at the right in gold of Ophir?

vickyO: The bolded implied you wanted my attention.
My post up there was for Demain man
So is it that you did not see the bolded:

Syncan: Nothing my dear, for the post was not addressed to you in the first place. You however decided to "address" it, so i had to draw your attention to some things you seem to overlook. The post is a refutation to another post, and the refutation still stands.
Before you made this claim:

vickyO: The post wasn't addressed to me? why did you quote my post if you didn't intend to address me?
1. The post (psalm 45:6-9) was not addressed to you as I have shown earlier

2. I drew your attention after you decided to address my post of psalm 45. Again as i had stated above.

vickyO: The post wasn't addressed to me? why did you quote my post if you didn't intend to address me?
Please be fair to me vicky, This below is the post that I quoted:


Acidosis: The so called queen and the image was formerly an idol for pagans..

A Queen of Heaven is synonymous to the queen of the coast.

There are different kinds of heaven afterall..
But the Heaven I'm striving to make has no queen!
And my response was:

Syncan: Oh really? "Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom is a right sceptre...upon thy right hand did stand the queen in gold of Ophir". Psalm 45:6-9.

vickyO: Some theologians have said the Queen represents the Church of Christ while some disagreed by saying the events are in no way a replica of the happenings in heaven.
So the Queen is the faithful Christians.
Please let's not worry about what theologians say or not. Lets agree that God was talking to His son, and that a queen dressed in ophir was sitting at the Son's right hand. Just as the scripture says.

vickyO: Ok, let me ask appropriately.
Please can you quote the Scripture that supports prayers to Mary?
Vicky, You already said Christians Intercede. Intercession is talking to God on behalf of another.

vickyO: The Holy Spirit intercedes on our behalf, Roman 8:26, Elijah interceded Romans 11:2, Christians are to intercede I Timothy 2:1, Isaiah 59:16 speaks of how God made Christ our intercessor and Hebrews 7:25 shows that Jesus intercedes.
And it shows no record of Mary interceding for us.
Jesus us told us how to pray: To the father in the name of Jesus.
He didn't say pray to Mary but to the father in my name.
From your post, we see that though Christ is our Intercessor, Christians can intercede. Mary is a christian too.
Christianity EtcRe: The Rosary Consists Of 53 Repetitious Prayers To Mary And 6 To God by Syncan(m): 1:43pm On Nov 22, 2013
vickyO: I've read it. The Psalmist operates in the prophetic but If you read he whole Psalm 45, you'll know that the marriage described there is not the same as the one depicted in Revelations 10, the marriage supper of the Lamb. probably an analogy.
Thanks VickyO. Note that I never said anything about a wedding, nor did I talk of Rev 10. All I did was Point to psalm 45:6 as a prophecy of God the father talking to the Son about his Scepter and throne. This could only happen in heaven. In verse Nine it talked about the queen sitting at the right of the Son. I supported this with Hebrews showing that It was God, talking to His Son. For in that Hebrews, God also addressed the angels. You may want to re-trace the genesis of this my post.

Acidosis: So when people say "God of Sango" (thunder or so).. It authomatically means, they carry thunder about?
If someone else could explain the import of this statement with respect to my post, I will be glad to respond.
Christianity EtcRe: The Rosary Consists Of 53 Repetitious Prayers To Mary And 6 To God by Syncan(m): 11:28am On Nov 22, 2013
vickyO: Who's this?
Let me address the Psalm 45 issue
The details of the Psalm clearly pictures an earthly wedding of the King of Israel. And it in no way conforms to the marriage supper of the Lamb in Rev. 10:1-10
Read the whole Psalm and understand it.
Dear VickyO, compare that Psalm 45:6 "Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom is a right sceptre"

with this:

"But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom". Heb1:8

Please Just like you said "David was a prophet", Kindly note the truth in this as well...it was not talking about any earthly king. Just read the whole of hebrews chapter one, its not much.

vickyO: Well, by answering me with appropriate scriptures, you'll prove my view wrong.
Sis, If you ask your question civilly, you'll surely get an answer. If you ridicule, then you do not need an answer.

Note that this is a general statement of fact, I am not indicting you yet of any wrong.
Christianity EtcRe: What Is The Hail Mary That Catholics Say So Often? by Syncan(m): 11:06am On Nov 22, 2013
Acidosis: The text of the Hail Mary prayer incorporates two Bible passages:

3 noticeable abominations on prayer 3!

1. Mary is not and never was “holy.” Mary was a human being who was born, as all humans are, with a sin nature (Adam & Eve) and who recognized that she needed a Savior. (Luke 1:46-55 )...

2. Addressing Mary as the “Mother of God.” Mary was the human mother of the human Jesus Christ, who was indeed God incarnate.


God bless
To argue, one needs common sense. To discuss on a subject, you need knowledge of the subject. To stand in Judgement, you need to be an authority.

1. Humans can be holy - "For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost" 2Pet1:21

2.Nestorian Heresy- Condemned by Christiandom since 431AD. Jesus in the womb of the virgin Mary, was both man and God. Theotokus the christians called her "God bearer".

"For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Is 9:6

Christianity EtcRe: A Thread For Catholics by Syncan(m): 10:28am On Nov 22, 2013
FrancisTony: Roman 9vs23.
Therefore it was necessary that the cophes of the things in the heavens should be purified with these, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.
DOES IT EXPLAIN THE EXISTENCE OF PURGATORY?
No brethren. That passage (Romans Hebrews 9:23) is talking about the sacrifice of Jesus as against the use of blood for atonement in the earlier times.

Purgatory related passages are well expressed in the thread on the topic. Hope you've seen it.

damerry: Dearest Rosarians, I've been thinking, is it right to use music to deepen meditations when reciting the Holy rosary? There is this cool "Ave Maria" musical hymn on my phone, each time i play it i feel deeper love for the Most Blessed Virgin Mary and experience peace. I'm still having scruples whether it's right to play the music/hymn when reciting d holy rosary. Please Help a brother smiley huh
Have you tried it? Did it distract you or Was it helpful?
Christianity EtcRe: Defend Catholic Teachings Here by Syncan(m): 9:35am On Nov 22, 2013
@Italo, weldone bro. @ Adsonstone,bro I must confess that your manner of discuss in this thread has been impressive. One may not agree with another's belief, but asking for explanation without ridicule, making your own submission with less ambiguity is just the way to acquire knowledge. No knowledge is a waste after all. You did not open the thread, but you've been more honest to the seeming aim of the thread.

Christianity EtcRe: Untold Ultimate Differences Between A Christian & A Catholic by Syncan(m): 9:11am On Nov 22, 2013
vickyO: 1) I quote this scripture where Jesus told the people who is real family is
Matthew 12:50
For whosoever shall do the will of my father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister and mother.
Do y'all want to argue with him? He never called Mary his mother when speaking. why? cause he was trying to discourage what peeps like the catholics are doing today

2)As Christians the only channel of prayer is
God-Jesus-man
not
God-Jesus-Mary-Saints-Man.
He is the only mediator between God and man.

3)You keep Adopting the heathen style of worship instead of worshipping in spirit and in truth, repeating prayers like the heathens do, using images, candles, bowing the statue of Mary and praying to her, calling the Pope infallible and thereby being deceived by his words, Looking up to the saints and Mary instead of looking up to Christ alone, dwelling more on religion than on Christ.
it's all wrong............................... don't try to justify false doctrines
You do not need to say so much, I asked the ladies (those with female monikers) a simple question.

Syncan: ...You said "Jesus has no mother"

"Mother" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mother‎ - A woman who has raised a child, given birth to a child...

"And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall name Him Jesus". LK1:31

I believe I've some female monikers here, let them please give me an honest yes or no. Is Mary the mother of Jesus?
After this, we can talk about why Jesus called her "Woman". If you care.

Is Holy spirit the Father of Jesus?


Yes Jesus had an earthly mother..
Thanks at the above, its good to sit back, analyze realistically and unbiased, then say the truth. For only then, shall freedom come. John8:32

As per your question, is there also a difference between the "christian" and "catholic" belief on the father of Jesus?

Mintayo: I can believe ppl ae still saying mary is tha queen of heaven? So mary is now exalted abv God since she is now the queen of heaven,my did not tell me abt any queen in heaven,ahhh,i believe satan is having a laugh lookin at d way ppl twist the scripture to their own detriment.
May God help us.
Who is God to you? Slave of heaven or King of heaven? You complain of "twisting" scripture, who is "twisting" meanings now?

"Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom is a right sceptre...upon thy right hand did stand the queen in gold of Ophir". Psalm 45:6-9.

How is this queen, exulted above this king?

They want to save Catholics?

Acidosis: Who is talking about Church here?
I'm asking you to forsake all evil abominations; and all ungodly worship

Lol...We are talking about Jesus and the key to the kingdom of God, not brand and packaging..

The largest church on earth do not have any billboard in the kingdom of God..
There is no such thing as my church in heaven..

If Idahosa made heaven (assuming), God will not judge him badly cos of the present situation at "Church of God Mission". What becomes of those present in the church remains their headaches..

Idahosa would receive judgement based on his own assignment (What he did, and what he failed to do)

Infact, the only place you mention church in agony, curse pastors, popes and bishops (false teachers and false teachings) is HELL FIRE.

I proclaim Christ, not my Church smiley

Infact; I love to worship in lesser gatherings.. (if thats what you want to hear)
smiley
And Jesus said:

"And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven" Matt 16:18

And St. Paul said:
"...that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth". 1Tim3:15

You said it yourself " We do not serve the same God"

italo: Cant you see the rubbish your brother is saying up there?

That David could not speak about the future.

Why not address that glaring rubbish?
hahahahaha, They want to save catholics?
Acidosis: Bros, The book of Psalm was written by a King that lived and then died.. even before the name of Mary was mentioned in the New Testament... So how is it possible for King David to write about a non-yet born Mary , let alone a Queen Mary sitting with a God who shares His throne with no one?
Lolz

We do not serve the same God.
David wrote:
"...they pierced my hands and my feet. I may tell all my bones: they look and stare upon me.They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture". Psalm 22:16-18

Centuries later...:

"Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments, and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also his coat: now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout.
They said therefore among themselves, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be: that the scripture might be fulfilled, which saith, They parted my raiment among them, and for my vesture they did cast lots. These things therefore the soldiers did...But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water" John19:23-34.

You said it yourself, "we do not serve the same God"

vickyO: They claim they combined the Bible and are the first church yet they get carried away by traditions of men and fail to practice the doctrines written in the Bible. Jesus told us to pray to God in His (Jesus) name. that is the definition of prayer. He didn't say pray to Mary.....
Catholics, where did y'all get your doctrine of praying to Mary fromhuh The pope? the heathen? the Bible? Rome?
Educate us
.
Frankly speaking, dear vickyO, If you trully want to know, even just for the sake of knowledge and not to convert, Catholics will gladly oblige you. However if you've already passed judgement on them and only have ridicule for their practices (despite not knowing why they do so), no need to ask.

bizmahn: The Jews held Abraham in high esteem above Jesus Christ same way catholics hold Mary today.Jesus answered them.... "before Abraham was I am"(Jn.8:58).Jesus was saying Abraham is not my mate,I created Him.Same goes for Mary.
.
-Question:Did Jesus exist as an Omnipotent,omniscient God before the virgin birth?
-Answer:Yes.
-Question:Did Jesus create Mary?
-Answer:Yes (Jn.1:3,Col.1:16).
.
Conclusion:Jesus has no mother.He exists far before all mothers that ever existed.He created them all one by one.A mother exists before the child and the child is a product of intimate relationship with a man.This is not the case for Jesus virgin birth.Mary is not the mother of Jesus since Jesus existed before her.CASE CLOSED.
You wrote the above and you feel triumphant isn't it? Oh how correct is our Lord when he said "... you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children ... " Matt 11:25.

U woulda been better to stop at my ''my brother what are you saying exactly''

I said, the quoted moniker shouldn't have lambasted mary for being ''powerless and fleshy'' simply because some denomination are worshipping her !!!

Did Mary asked them to worship her, so why da Insult ?

How could God use Mary to cause Jesus into the world and U people tagged her Powerless and fleshy ..... If she is not Special and Unique, why would that Miracle happened to her of all woman in the world ?

Hope u get me now !!
