Why do non-Catholic Christians deny that the Rosay is Biblical?

They make that claim because the Rosary is not mentioned by name in the Bible, and back when they went up to that altar call and publicly professed their faith is Jesus Christ .... hmmmm, wait a minute .... where does the Bible speak of altar calls??

Well...

regardless of how well-supported by the Bible are the various prayers and beliefs involved in "saying the rosary", you must admit that the rosary *itself* is not Biblical.

There is no record in the Bible of anyone "saying the rosary" or otherwise any Christian using anything that resembles the rosary.

That being said, I have no problems with people who do so devoutly. There are some who seem to think of it as a magic talisman - by which I mean, "just say the correct prayers in the correct order and you will have good luck". I realize that the rosary is not intended to be used in such a manner - but I have known people (Roman Catholics) who indisputably understand it to operate in just that fashion.

Conclusion: though the prayers and concepts pertaining to the rosary are supported by the Bible, the actual use of the rosary or a rosary-like implement is not, nor are the benefits claimed for completing the rosary directly Biblical.

F.Y.I There is no rosary mentioned in the bible. Even the " Popes " are not mentioned.

The Catholic Bible is a man made doctrine where they have every words of God twisted by their own human knowledge!.

The haters have posted their ignorant answers, my friend, and thank God: I hate crawling around in their small minds trying to make any sense of their thought processes (if any).

Susanna, I live for the day you post an original answer instead of your constant cut and paste. If you can't explain your beliefs in your own words, your beliefs must be either very shallow or completely nonexistent.

he rosary was invented by Peter the Hermit in 1090AD and brought fully into the Catholic Church by St. Dominic in the year 1214AD and approved by Pope Innocent III. How can the Rosary be biblical if it was created over a 1000 years after Jesus?

---------------

The passage are real, but is the rosary mentioned in the bible? No. The idea that a simple necklace can be used as a tool for prayer and worship is idiotic. Why would you use "beads" to worship?

The rosary came around as one of the "worship" tools made by the church to earn money. It was common, through-out history, for the church to create items and sell them and keep profits for themselves. At times they went as far as trying to sell paper that would "supposadly" automatically get the person who bought it into heaven... Through-out history Catholic church has earned billions of money on things that they convinced the congregation were "needed" or "great" for worship and getting close to God. Rosaries are not biblical... the prayers might be, but the rosary itself is not.

None of the catholic "rituals" are biblical. They were all invented by later churches with unbiblical reasons. For example: Confession was created in 1200AD as way for priests to obtain information from the congregation. They would later use it against their congregation. It was common for priests to take the "sexual confessions" of women and girls to later suduce them.

I really don't know why anyone should care whether it was or wasn't, the rosary is a simple prayer aid and the way some people talk, they make it out to be an occult tool of Satan's which is just ridiculous.

Susanna lifted her answer direct from "amazingfacts.org" which is a hate site and which is neither amazing nor factual.

Because they have a hard time 1) accepting the truth and 2) admitting they're wrong. They have some kind of lock on the bible so no one else can be true to it.

My apologies to the Episcopalian. I think too often when non believers say "Christian," they think of Fundamentalists and when Catholics say "non Catholic," we think of Fundamentalists. Meanwhile the only ones who think Fundamentalists are right are Fundamentalists.

Can you imagine people like Garrett,Susanna, Ted Andru ever admitting they were wrong

because it's hard for people to admit they are wrong and that someone they love/respect is wrong as well.

While much of what the prayer of the rosary contains is scriptural, the whole second half of the “Hail Mary” and portions of the “Hail, Holy Queen” are blatantly unbiblical. While the first part of the Hail Mary is almost a direct quotation from Luke 1:28, there is no scriptural basis for (1) praying to Mary now, (2) addressing her as “holy” Mary, or (3) calling her “our life” and “our hope.”

Is it right to call Mary “holy,” by which the Catholic Church means that Mary never sinned nor had any taint of original sin? The believers in the Bible were called “saints,” which can be interpreted as “set-apart ones” or “holy ones,” but the understanding of Scripture is that the righteousness that believers in Christ have is an imparted righteousness from Christ (2 Corinthians 5:21) and that while in this life, they are not yet sanctified from sin in practice (1 John 1:9-2:1). Jesus is called our Savior repeatedly in Scripture because He saved us from our sin. In Luke 1:47, Mary calls God her “Savior.” Savior from what? A sinless person does not need a Savior. Sinners need a Savior. Mary acknowledged that God was her Savior. Therefore, Mary was acknowledging that she was a sinner.
