The Apparition and Miracles
- The Deception
|
In the Catholic version of the bible( Douay-Rheims Bible, Westminster Version of the Sacred Scriptures, Spencer New Testament etc) you will find the story (Daniel 14:1-21) of the Babylon King trying to convince prophet Daniel to worship their idol Bel. The King was trying to convince Daniel that this idol is living and consuming all the offerings it is given every day. Daniel proved to the King that he was being deceived and the miracle was actually a counterfeit. He proved that behind the scenes he was being deceived by his people (making it appear to be a miracle). 339
Fake miracles is nothing new, they have been around before and are around now. Miracles do exist, but not the miracles of the idols. The idols are an abomination of God, so do not expect God to be producing miracles through what he detests. This includes the weeping statues, glowing statues etc.
One may argue that the Vatican are approving most of these miracles. After what you have read about the Church and their beliefs, you shouldn’t believe anything that the Vatican tells you. More and more people are realising that Christianity is full of forgeries and deceit. The Vatican knows this and will probably use these false miracles to convince you not to leave Christianity.
“For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.” Mark 13:22
Be warned not to believe that the alleged miracles are proof of a correct faith/religion.
Jesus warned us that signs and wonders (miracles) will come to deceive the many.
On 21st September 1995 Hindu idols seemingly miraculously sipped spoonfuls of milk. 340
Does this mean that the Hindu religion is the correct one? Even though this miracle seemed convincing it has been debunked as all the others have. 339
The Virgin Mary deception
|
20,000 apparitions of Mary have appeared over the centuries across the world. According to the Catholic newsletter “Our Sunday Visitor”, September 15,1996, less than a dozen … have been officially recognised by the catholic church” 315
The seers state that the “Virgin” Mary appears to them. According to biblical history Mary did not remain a virgin after she gave birth to Jesus. 315
“But he did not consummate their marriage until she gave birth to a son. And he gave him the name Jesus.” Matthew 1:25 NIV
So after the birth of Jesus she was not a virgin and clearly lived thereon after not as a virgin. Why would she then continue to announce herself as a Virgin?
Christian apologist Dave Hunt states “Mary’s words are often repetitious and shallow, certainly unworthy of a special visitation to earth. Mary even makes childish errors, such as this from Our Lady of Medjugorje: ‘Pray, little children, for the health of my beloved Son, who suffers and whom I have chosen for these times.’” How can the Christian god suffer ill health? 315
Throughout the Bible Mary is powerless and subordinate to God and his messengers.
The Section ‘The Queen of Heaven’ lists the dates when the Catholic Church exalted Mary to a higher status.
The “Queen of Heaven” who is not the historical Mary, mother of Jesus was also known as a virgin. She is a pagan goddess. The section ‘The mother and child story’ explains the origins of this story.
The seers sometimes see Mary holding baby Jesus. Jesus grew up and lived as an adult and died as an adult. Why would the real historical Mary still be carrying baby Jesus?
The apparitions are not related to the real historical Mary and Jesus and are either most probably false or demonic deceptions. 315
