Which Christian denominations are accepting of others who choose to pray the Rosary?

Question

I have been researching Christian denominations hoping to find the one that God wants me to be, in that search I have found another question I have searched alot of sites hopeing to find an answer but sadly have not any way here is my question
Which Christian denominations/Church will be be accepting (will not get rude or mad with me) of the fact that I enjoy praying the Rosary & the Divine Mecry Chaplet I know that the Cathiolic denomination is very accepting of this but was wondering if any other denominations/churchs are.The reason I am asking this is because I have had someone to get rude & what seemed to be mad at me for just wearing a Rosary, when asked if I prayed it I answered yes that only added to the problem.

Thank you for time,please take your time & answer like Respectful Adults

Before any one YELLS DUH at me, let me explan why I did not know that this would offend any one. My family is made up of Southern Bapist, Church of God, & Cathiolics (every one is Non-practicing but they all have a deep love for God )
My family does not pray the Rosary (but they respect that I choose to)

Answer 1

do you realize there are over 30,000 different sects of christianity to begin with? praying to a rosary is your choice but i can tell you struggle with other ideas about the churchs but if you really want god to answer you why dont you just ask your heart what fits you the best dont let the world think for you think for your self always. i am a spiritualist i walk with god for it is already in my heart always.

my wife is also a ex christian and she found daoism by asking god to guide her to it. this may also help you find your true calling as well.

Oh, for mercy's sake!

I'm so sorry that you've been catching some flak from turkeys (kindest word I could find on the spur of the moment) on praying the Rosary, in your spiritual search. Some people are *always* spoiling for a fight. Haven't noticed too many people nowadays *wearing* rosary beads; it's pretty old-country, in my experience---most carry them, till they are used. But if you're doing it as a devotional act and not as a fashion statement, do as you please, in honor to the Eternal.

Quite a few religious traditions use some sort of prayer counting tally, including some Buddhist groups. Some Muslims use beads; others prefer to use fingers----THINK but am not sure there is a saying that "your fingers will testify on Judgment Day how you used them". Know one or two Episcopalians who really enjoy talking to Mary and like the Rosary prayers, too.

FWIW, as an ex-Lutheran who's now a happy Goddess-worshipping Pagan, I think the dear Eternal is really happy to hear the kids "checking in", in whatever language works for them. (She's not terribly fussy about little details.) If a particular prayer or practice brings peace to your heart, does not cause harm to others, and helps you to be a better person overall, IMO, go for it!

If anyone gets rude or ugly, I'd be inclined to bail out and find another place to quietly pray or meditate. You don't need your spiritual peace disturbed with nasty comments or vibes. (Hint: as a nurse, hospital chapels were a great place to "ground and center" before/after work---it was already "warded space", and the holy symbols didn't bother me. Your mileage may vary.)

Keep searching, and asking questions--we honor the Great Giver of thought and curiosity, whenever we do this. Best of wishes to you!

I know how you feel have had the same thing happen to me and yes i know it hurts to see other Christians want to fight over something so simple (i was catholic at one time and i understand the rosary is not worshiping mary ) it is sad to see Brothern fight over something that if they had took the time to learn about would see that it is not a bad thing but is a great way to Meditate on the life of Jesus christ and all that He as done for us. Any one who would put you done for this needs to do a little research.
I found that some Non denominational Churchs are accepting (note have not found one who prays the rosary but thay are ok with the fact that you do) The one i like is called The First Christian Church i am not sure it all First Christian Churchs are like the one i go to or not but i know that mine is very accepting of me.

Just allways remember that God knows what is in your Heart you sound like you have a deep love for Him and are tring your best to understand what His will for you is,that is all that realy matters whats in your heart...

First, God bless you for praying the rosary. It is a very special and intimate prayer that I pray often, and I'm glad to see that it is the same for you.

I am sorry for a lot of the anger you have experienced from people who don't agree with you. A lot of people don't understand that when we pray the rosary, we are praying the gospels. We are praying the life, death and ressurection of our Lord Jesus. Please continue to pray the rosary. Heaven sings when you do.

I don't know if you've visited a Catholic church, but I hope that you do, if you haven't yet. I was a protestant and became Catholic. I know what the protestant side of the fence is like, and now that I'm Catholic, I've finally found home.

If you have questions you'd like to ask me, please feel free. I'd be glad to help.

God bless.

Answer 5

You will only find the Rosary respected in the Roman Catholic Church. It should not be worn as jewelry as this detracts from its meaning. A rosary should be displayed or kept in a case when it is not in use.

Answer 6

For one who claims to come from such a "religious" background you seem to lacking in basic understanding of The Truth of The Christian Faith. One basic is that all prayer is to God alone. Prayer to God can and most often is, in Christ Jesus' name... But always to God. For those of The True Christian Faith the rosary is a symbol of the RC cult. It would be rude to "pray the rosary" in a Christian service.

Answer 7

It would really be hard for you to find a church outside of the Roman Catholic Church.

But hopefully you might be able to find some Non-denominational Christian Churches that can understand.

To know why though you can try to send me an email and i'll try to start to explain to you why.

Answer 8

I like very much to pray the Rosary.

Answer 9

Dear Member of the Roman Catholic Church,

The Roman Catholic Church says it never changes; yet, it invents new doctrines which are contrary to the Bible, and has practiced rites and ceremonies taken bodily from paganism. Some scholar has found that 75% of the rites and ceremonies of the Roman Church are of pagan origin.

The Sign of the Cross, the use of wax candles, incense and holy water, praying to angels and deceased saints, the false doctrine of purgatory (established by Pope Gregory I in the 6th century) and praying for the dead are all rooted in paganism and were adopted into the R.C. Church centuries after the death of Christ.

The Lord Jesus Christ clearly tells us that souls who have passed on go either to eternal paradise or to eternal torment (Matthew 25:46), so praying for the dead does not help them.

The Papacy is of pagan origin and the title of “pope” which means “father” is given to the bishop of Rome who is the leader of the worldwide R.C. Church. In Matthew 23:9, the Lord Jesus Christ warns that giving the title of “father” to human spiritual teachers is a sin because we are to look only to our Heavenly Father for ultimate truth and power.

Jesus did not appoint Peter to the headship of the apostles and forbade any such notion. (Read Luke 22:24-26; Ephesians 1:22-23; Colossians 1:18; 1st Corinthians 3:11). There is no mention in Scripture or history that Peter ever was in Rome, much less that he was pope there for 25 years; Clement, 3rd bishop of Rome, remarks that "there is no real 1st century evidence that Peter ever was in Rome."

The kissing of the Pope's feet was adopted in the 8th century. It had been a pagan custom to kiss the feet of emperors. The Word of God forbids such practices. (Read Acts 10:25-26; Revelation 19:10; 22:9).

Canonization of dead saints was first established by Pope John XV in 993. Every believer and follower of Christ is called saint in the Bible. (Read Romans 1:7; 1st Colossians 1:2).

In the 11th century, Pope Hildebrand, Boniface VII was the first pope in centuries to rigorously enforce the Roman Church’s ancient policy of celibacy of the priesthood. Jesus imposed no such rule, nor did any of the apostles. On the contrary, St. Peter was a married man, and St. Paul says that bishops were to have wife and children. (Read 1st Timothy 3:2, 5, and 12; Matthew 8:14-15).

In the 13th century, the adoration of the wafer (Host) was decreed by Pope Honorius. So the Roman Church worships a God made by human hands. This is plain idolatry and absolutely contrary to the spirit of the Gospel. (Read John 4:24).

A few years later, the Bible was forbidden to laymen and placed in the Index of forbidden books by the Council of Valencia. Jesus commanded that the Scriptures should be read by all. (Read John 5:39; 1st Timothy 3:15-17).

In the 15th century the Roman Catholic Church forbade also the cup to the laity. The Bible commands us to celebrate the Lord's Supper with unleavened bread and the fruit of the vine. (Read Matthew 26:27; 1st Corinthians 11:26-29).

The Creed of Pope Pius IV was imposed as the official creed 1560 years after Christ and the apostles. True Christians retain the Holy Scriptures as their creed – which is 1500 years older than the creed of Roman Catholics. (Read Galatians 1:8).

In the year 1870 after Christ, Pope Pius IX proclaimed the dogma of PAPAL INFALLIBILITY. This is a blasphemy and the sign of the apostasy and of the Antichrist predicted by St. Paul. (Read 2nd Thessalonians 2:2-12; Revelation 17:1-9; 13:5-8, 18). Many Bible scholars see the number of the beast (Rev. 13:18), 666 in the Roman letters of the Pope's title: "VICARIVS FILII DEI."

In the 19th century, the Immaculate Conception of the Virgin Mary was proclaimed by Pope Pius IX. The Bible states that all men, with the sole exception of Christ, are sinners. Mary herself had need of a Savior. (Read Romans 3:23; 5:12; Psalm 51:5; Luke 1:30, 46, 47).

In the year 1950 Pope Pius XII proclaimed the Assumption of the Virgin Mary.

Centuries ago, titles used for Isis (the pagan deity of darkness, witchcraft and chaos) by her devotees such as “Mother of God”, “Queen of Heaven” and “Ocean Star” were given to Mary, and Isis and Horus temples were converted to Mary and Jesus temples.

“The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes to the Queen of Heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me to anger. Do they provoke me to anger? saith the LORD: do they not provoke themselves to the confusion of their own faces?” (Jeremiah 7:18-19).

The Queen of Heaven is mentioned four times in Jeremiah 44 and this chapter tells us that God’s wrath and punishment fell on the Israelites because they were worshipping the Queen of Heaven as well as other gods.

“Queen of Heaven”, “Ocean Star”, “Mother of God” and “Star of the Sea” are titles given to the demon Isis by her devotees. “Mediatrix of All Graces”, “Queen of Peace” and “Queen of the Rosary” are also false titles for Mary and if you call her by these titles you will upset her and provoke God.

As for the entity who appeared to the visionaries in Medjugorje and claimed to be a protector and mediator between persons and God, and requested Feast Days to be held in her honour and the daily chanting of the Rosary, it could have never been Mary the humble and blessed servant of God who birthed our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14 warns us that evil spirits can appear as benevolent beings.

The Rosary was introduced by Peter the Hermit, in the year 1090. This has been copied from Hindus and Mohammedans. The counting of prayers is a pagan practice and is expressly condemned by Christ (Matthew 6:5-13). Also, Mary is not the mediator between people and God. The Lord Jesus Christ the second person of the Trinity is the true mediator between human beings and God.

“For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;” (1 Timothy 2:5).

The following verses show that the Lord Jesus Christ does the will of God and not the will of Mary.

While he yet talked to the people, behold, his mother and his brethren stood without, desiring to speak with him. Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee. But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren? And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren! For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother. (Matthew 12:46-50).

In the above verses we see that although Mary wanted to see Jesus, He didn't go to her right away but continued preaching. It is plain to see that the Lord Jesus Christ does the will of God and not the will of Mary. Also, Lord Jesus who is the second person of the Godhead (the Holy Trinity) points out that He has several mothers, sisters and brothers. Lord Jesus is related to all those who do the will of God. So, are you part of God’s family or are you incurring God’s wrath through false beliefs and sinful practices?

HERESIES are those doctrines and practices which are contrary to the Bible. They are also called "human traditions" or "doctrines of men". Both Peter and Paul predicted and warned that in the later times "false teachers" would rise within the Church and bring in "damnable heresies" and "doctrines of devils". (Read 2nd Peter 2:1-3, and 1st Timothy 3:2-5). Jesus rebuked the Pharisees, for they transgressed the commandments of God by keeping their traditions. “in vain,” He said, "they worship me by keeping for doctrines the commandments of men." (Matthew 15:9).

BRETHREN! The Word of God commands us to get out of Babylon, saying: "Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues." (Revelation 18:4). All true Christians will remain faithful to the religion of Christ as taught in the Bible, and heed the warning of the Apostle Paul, who said: "But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other Gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed." (Galatians 1:8).

With Love,
Servant of the Lord Jesus Christ
