Why the Rosary is Biblical

Music by Steve Silvia. The role of Mary, totally grounded in that of Christ and radically subordinated to it, "in no way obscures or diminishes the unique mediation of Christ, but rather shows its power" The prayer begins, "Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee." This is nothing other than the greeting the angel Gabriel gave Mary in Luke 1:28. The next part reads this way:
"Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus." This was exactly what Mary's cousin Elizabeth said to her in Luke 1:42. The only thing that has been added to these two verses are the names "Jesus" and "Mary," to make clear who is being referred to. So the first part of the Hail Mary is entirely biblical.
The second part of the Hail Mary is not taken straight from Scripture, but it is entirely biblical in the thoughts it expresses. It reads:
"Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen."
Let's look at the first words. Some Protestants do object to saying "Holy Mary" because they claim Mary was a sinner like the rest of us. But Mary was a Christian (the first Christian, actually, the first to accept Jesus; cf. Luke 1:45), and the Bible describes Christians in general as holy. In fact, they are called saints, which means "holy ones" (Eph. 1:1, Phil. 1:1, Col. 1:2). Furthermore, as the mother of Jesus Christ, the Incarnate Second Person of the Blessed Trinity, Mary was certainly a very holy woman.
Some Protestants object to the title "Mother of God," but suffice it to say that the title doesn't mean Mary is older than God; it means the person who was born of her was a divine person, not a human person.

@hortulanus94 Simply put, being a member of the church founded by Jesus does not mean you have a ticket to heaven. It takes faith, hard work, love of God and your brothers in Christ (all people of the world). It must come from your heart, not from a desire of not being punished, to get into heaven. It's not easy for a mortal sinner (breaker of any of the Ten Commandments) to get into heaven but it is possible. All things are possible with God.

We need more people like you on youtube! Great job!
God's blessings friend.

Did you read the text that was in the video? It's pretty clear. The rosary is a meditation on the life of Christ as seen THROUGH the eyes of his MOTHER. You DO focus on God when you focus on Jesus' earthly mother.....it's right there in black and white. John 2:5.

okay, i watched it and I guess some parts make perfect sense.
but if anything, there should be few Hail Marys and more Our Fathers. because we should focus on our God moreover than Jesus' earthly mother. ^^

Will I go to hell if I'm not catholic (I'm protestant)?

@hortulanus94 That decision belongs to God, we don't make that decision, or judgement. The Catholic Church teaches that salvation belongs to God, and that the Church teaches us the way to follow Jesus, and fully experience the teachings and rewards that God has promised for those who truly love Him.

Why do always follow tradition just Like the Pharisees You are nothing but hypocrites twisting the Word of the Lord, always pretending to do good showing men that I am this and I am that. Matthew 15: 7-9 Ye hypocrites, well did Isiah prophesy of you, saying This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips buth their hearts are far from me. But in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
