Not trying to be mean or argue anything. Paul says to beware of false doctrines many times throughout the Bible. The rosary is very much a false doctrine. I give you the Lords prayer is Biblical and Jesus gave it to us as guidance on how to pray to Him. However prayer to Mary is very very wrong. Nowhere in the Bible does it say to pray to Mary or any other saint of God. The Bible Specifically says that the name of Jesus is the ONLY saving name (Acts 4:10-12). Timothy told us that Jesus is the ONLY mediator between God and man as well (1Timothy 2:5). The Apostle's Creed is nothing more than a "statement of faith" drafted by the Nicean Council, there is no place in the Bible where it says to recite this creed, or any creed. Glory Be....See all these you are mentioning are "pre-written" prayers (if thats the right words for it). Prayer is conversation and time spent with Jesus, there is no need to recite a creed type prayer. As I say again...beware of false doctrine...do not follow after the works of men, but after the Word of God.
