  • Thanks for the interesting video, AMTatte, however, I don't think the labyrinth is sinful because the pagan origins of it have been changed to Christian meanings. This is called inculturation and is an important way in which the Gospel is brought to non-Christians. Nevertheless, there are much more profound ways of meditating on the Gospel than walking the labyrinth. Praying the Rosary, or Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament are a sure path to Jesus. The labyrinth is too much about the self.

    Dear sacredcello,

    It would appear that you have missed the entire Old Testament and understanding of the New.

    The problem with the Israelites is that they continually turned to practises of other religions and their gods and this continues today.

    We are warned that in the last days that people will turn to doctrines of demons and yes the labyrinth is clearly one of them.

    How can it not be a sin to introduce a practice that is still used by the occult today?

  • @sacredcello

    Mystery Babylon is the church incorporating things that God didn't give us that come from pagan Rome etc.

    It is prophesied that the church would do this and it is doing it now.

    The churches that seek things spiritual like this are the same ones that deny the gifts of the Holy Spirit such as speaking in tongues.

    They are deceived into seeking other spirits through pagan labyrinths etc

    For the labyrinth identified in the Bible watch "The Mystery of the Labyrinth" on YouTube.

  • @sacredcello

    When the Bible refers to Israel committing sexual immorality, adultery, fornication, prostitution etc, it is God speaking to His wife Israel for being unfaithful with things of other gods and religions.

    Mystery Babylon is the church version of this which is why she is called the mother of prostitutes, whore etc.

    And for her judgement, have a good read of Revelation 18.

    We need to assess this with God's word the Bible and not with what feels good to us.

  • @sacredcello

    Re praying the Rosary, are you keeping the commandments of Jesus??

    Jesus commanded us in Matthew 6 verses 7-8

    "But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think they shall be heard for their much speaking. Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him."

    What other religions count their prayers using rosary beads?? It is a practise that belongs to other gods.

    God Bless

    For some time I have pondered Revelation 12 v 1+

    "Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a garland of twelve stars."

    It appears that the sign in heaven (the sky) is the star constellation called Virgo and there is a precise time when the moon appears under her feet which is believed to signify the birth of Jesus in 3 BC.

    Search "Virgo" "12 Stars" "Revelation" etc

    How does this apply to Exodus 20:4?

  • @AMTattersall THis is why I walked away from Catholicism. Repetitive prayer...Toooo much emphasis on Mary...and prayer to the dead(seance actually) praying to the dead.THere's more but those 2 will do for now.

  • @AMTattersall .. thanks for these vidios , very interesting and they helped me a lot , because I had a friend who walked the labyrinth and that person was dark in spirit. but as to this comment, there are no other Gods, that is just satan convincing people, these are just myths , False Idols. a bit like micky mouse, and as for rosery , the prayer must be performed 5 times a day without the use of the rosery , but is nothing wrong with invoking God by calling out to him over and over, peace

  • @AMTattersall No one seems to know what my faith is! I just did some cool vids in France of a labyrinth at Montal and hope to have them posted soon. I have two channels here and also do Dailymotion. A lot of the labyrinths remind me of the human brain and I think it may be a message to just use our brains and think.

  • @AMTattersall Also, the words of Jesus emphasize that prayer to non-existent gods is necessarily vain and useless. Aside from being violations of the First Commandment, such prayers fall on deaf ears. One example is the repetitive prayer of the worshippers of Baal in 1 Kings 18:26-29. They took the bull given them, prepared it, and called on the name of Baal from morning until noon, saying “O Baal, answer us!”

  • @AMTattersall Christ warned His faithful to avoid praying as the pagans do. However, He did not warn against repetition itself. Otherwise, Jesus the God-man inexplicably contradicts Himself in Matthew 6:8-14 when He teaches His disciples to pray the Our Father. His followers would be guilty of repetitious prayer the moment they said this prayer for the second time. Christ’s emphasis was on “vain” and “empty” repetitious prayer. This conclusion is affirmed elsewhere in Scripture.

  • @AMTattersall Jesus repeats the same prayer in the garden of Gethsemane three times (Mt. 26:39, 42, 44); He responded favorably to the repeated prayers of the blind men (Mt. 20:29-33); and the angels in heaven repeat unceasingly, “Holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come” (Rev. 4:8). In Psalm 136, the response, “for His steadfast love endures forever” or, in another translation, “His mercy endures forever,” is repeated 26 times.

  • @AMTattersall Jesus is preaching a radically new relationship with God in Matthew 6:7. He says that the poor in spirit will inherit the kingdom of heaven and that enemies are not to be hated, but loved. What kind of god would make such demands? Certainly not a god like the gods of Gentiles. This God is Our Heavenly Father. We pray to Him in a way radically different from the manner in which Gentiles prayed to their gods. Hence, “do not heap up empty phrases as the Gentiles do; ....”.

  • @AMTattersall As a Gospel prayer, centered on the mystery of the redemptive Incarnation, the Rosary is a prayer with a clearly Christological orientation. Its most characteristic element, in fact, the litany-like succession of Hail Mary’s, becomes in itself an unceasing praise of Christ, who is the ultimate object both of the angel’s announcement and of the greeting of the mother of John the Baptist: “Blessed is the fruit of your womb” (Lk. 1:42).

  • @AMTattersall

    We pray to place ourselves before God and to dispose ourselves to His graces. We are urged to pray regularly and frequently. The power of our prayers does not come from how we feel during prayer, but on the grace of God given through our steadfast discipline (1 Cor. 15:58; cf. Catechism, 2725). A regular recitation of the Rosary helps us develop steadfastness in prayer in ways that spontaneous and extemporaneous prayer cannot.
