You seem to delete those answers that differ with you, but what [b]does[/b] the Bible say about praying the Rosary?
We are not to pray to Mary, [b]any[/b] saints, or idols. The Bible says there is only [b]one mediator[/b] between God and man and that is Jesus Christ.
Different forms of the Rosary are prayed in Roman Catholicism, Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism, the Bahá’í Faith, and Islam. It may surprise some that Hinduism also practices celibacy of the clergy, separation from the world, worship of saints, fasting, processions, litanies, and the use of holy water. In each of these religions, the Rosary is made of beads on a string or knotted cord. Islam uses 99 beads and the Hindus and Buddhists use ones with 100 as well as 66 beads. Prayers are repeated as the beads are counted.
The Rosary was not used by Jesus, by His apostles, or by the early church fathers. The Roman Catholic Church started using the Rosary around A.D. 1350. Protestants do not pray using a Rosary. Within the Roman Catholic Church, the Rosary has five sets of ten beads. Each set of ten beads is called a decade. Each decade is separated by one large bead. Different prayers are recited for different beads. The “Our Father” or “Lord’s Prayer” is recited on the large bead while the “Hail Mary” is prayed on each of the small beads.
Does the Bible refer to the Rosary? The answer is no! The concept of praying the Rosary using a string of beads, is never mentioned in Scripture because it is a human invention. It is not biblical and it is not of God. The Bible says that Jesus is our advocate in 1 John 2:1.
My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous . . . 1 John 2:1
We don't need Mary to intervene for us. That was a whole purpose of Jesus dying on the cross to be our ultimate high priest and intercessor to God the Father in heaven.

@barbara73 What's you God's name? There is about 33,000,000 assorted deities, each with its own unique name and attributes. The word "God" is just a title and does not identify a specific one of the 33,000,000 deities.
