What do you think is the cause of Marian apparitions?

[Twilight Hue]

Hi, I'm just wondering what your opinion is about Marian apparitions. They are too numerous to count. What do you think is responsible for them?

On October 13, 1917 a Miracle took place that Mary had promised would take place before a crowd of more than 30,000 people. Miracle of the Sun - Wikipedia She also warned the children she was appearing to about the coming of world war 2 and the rise of communism in Russia years in advance. (This May 13 will be the 100 year anniversary of Mary appearing at Fatima Portugal.) Our Lady of Fátima - Wikipedia

In 1858, the Blessed Virgin Mary began appearing to a humble, illiterate, peasant girl, Bernadette Soubirous. A miraculous Spring emerged at the location of the apparition site where healings took place Our Lady of Lourdes - Wikipedia

In 1859, Professor Vergez of the Faculty of Medicine at Montpellier was appointed to examine the cures. Seven cures were recorded before 1862 promoting the argument for the recognition of the Apparitions by Bishop Laurence. Almost 7,000 cures have been documented at the waters of Lourdes. Miracle Hunter: Lourdes - List of Approved Miracles There is a medical Bureau whose job it is to certify miracles at Lourdes. For a miracle to get certified it has to have prior documentation, no explanation, and has to be a complete healing (Not partial) and has to take place instantaneously (not a healing that takes place over time).

Mary appeared on top of a Church to over 500,000 people in Egypt

In 1947 she appeared at Tre Fontane with a Bible in her hand to a Protestant who had vowed to kill the Pope. The man converted to Catholicism and begged the Pope's forgiveness. The Apparition at Tre Fontane
She said she was the woman clothed with the sun, standing on the moon, with a crown of 12 stars from Revelation 12.

On December 12, 1531 she left this image on Juan Diego's Tilma,

Which lead to the conversion of the Aztecs and is largely what is responsible for Mexico and South America being predominately Catholic. The image has been examined by Scientists who declare it shows no evidence of being a painting and it is impossible for it to be reproduced. Our Lady of Guadalupe - Wikipedia It has also survived a bomb blast

There have been many countless other apparitions and miracles linked to the Virgin Mary.

Revelation 12
1 A great sign appeared in the sky, a woman* clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars.

It is up to individuals to believe or not believe. If you choose to believe what they appear to be your belief is your right. Should I choose otherwise then that is my right.

I'm surprised nobody said it's a Mother Goddess

The Bible states. Jesus said 'no one comes to the Father but by me'. My question is: from where do the Catholic get their teachings to venerate and pray to Mary? Absolutely not from the Holy Bible.

But regarding the High Church of England I have a question. How did Darwin, who absolutely refuted the Creation Biblical account, deserve to be buried in Westminster Abbey.?

What does that mean to you?

People will see what they want to see.

And believe what they want to believe. This is why the 'prosperity get rich message' 'sold' in Pentecostal churches is so appealing.

I don't know what that message is, but the rule of thumb works for everyone.

e 'prosperity message' is basically this: God wants his Believers to live an abundant life. Including financial wealth. And by praying through Jesus God will grant your desires.

But after many years of praying and NOT receiving what they pray for they are told they need more faith. To tithe more etc. I should know I attended such teachings for many years. I came to the conclusion God should not be treated as a type of 'Cosmic Genie' who wi

Me too actually. I tend to be highly susceptible to belief in religious experiences, and if I ever saw something like Mary appearing to me, that's the first thing I would have thought (perhaps concurrently with "dang, I need my meds adjusted").

what if the "whore" and the cow god were switched?

 

[meghanwaterlillies]

About the same as I feel when Natives find some Europeans and think some deity has just appeared.


1 and 2 are highly related.


Is it like this? Sorry it's just a screen grab of one page, but it still mentions other healing sites.


I guess it's no shock a Protestant would assume Mary would have a book that didn't exist when she was alive.


LOL.

"Scientist": Ignore the gold leaf, the ink, the brush strokes, the conformity with certain art styles ... it's divine. Really.

You know here is a funny story (not so) what do think Europeans thought Indians looked like? LOL!

if I called myself animal (well actually others did) and prayed to a woman in the sky. Would you then cruficy me?
Lets just pick stones and throw them.

There is neither male or female right the only one female is a sky *****.
Jesus, I wonder if that's why women get most of the blunt force, they are not usually that strong with barbaric ****.
