Marian Apparitions of the 20th Century - Introduction

[Jewlzie03]

Mary is not dead. She's in heaven. I know i'm not praying to the dead.

[ResTrNbSC]

@Jewlzie03 stop u protestant....

[PaulaKev1]

The church must be one

John10:16--one fold and one shepherd

Eph4:3-6 one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father

John17:17-23 I pray that they be one as we are One Father

John17:23 that they be brought to perfection as one

I think we missed this part of the bible my friends

[PaulaKev1]

Why does it teach that all Christians are saints? (1 Cor. 1:2).

And it also says we all fall short and we will be judged on our love---when I was naked, when I was in prison, when I was hungry------these questions will be presented to us. So, if you are a saint, then you should be doing these things...........helping the least of HIS children

[PaulaKev1]

She is our mother and the saints are our friends..........yes they intercede for us. I believe in praying in numbers.........and the prayers of a just man are powerful, so I ask the saints for help. Yes, I talk to Jesus, My Father and the forgotten Holy Spirit(forgive us)........we talk to family.

[PaulaKev1]

YOu will never understand anything of the catholic church, unless you realize that for 400 years the church followed Sacred Tradition as St Paul exhorted. He encouraged the faithful to follow the word of mouth teachings that were proclaimed throughout history. Yet, we did not put the bible together until 396AD in Hippo.

[kiwichristian2009]

Jesus said " I am the way, the truth, and the life. Noone comes to the father but through me." Meaning Jesus is the only one to save your soul. Mary cannot hear our prayers. The Bible also tells us to prove all things and hold fast to what is true. It doesnt matter if every pope said she was. The Bible is Gods word. Follow The Word and not the system of religion.

[kiwichristian2009]

@KaRaKteR2007 Very good question, my friends. Satan can perform miracles too, remember? What better way to promote his counterfeit Christianity than by performing miracles? There are so many verses in scripture that contradict RCC theology Rom 4:5 utterly condemns the System of salvation by masses penance priests etc, bible teaches that salvation is gift of God not of works & this gift is freely given by God to those who trust in the merits of Christ's finished work on Calvary.

[KaRaKteR2007]

@kiwichristian2009 Why, why is it bad to pray to God through Mary ? There are many Christians in the world because of the custom to pray to saints.

We pray to Mary and the saints so that they can pray for us to God, making our path to Heaven easier.

If these people were to pray just to God, there would have been lesser in number. This keeps Christianity to be the greatest religion.

[kiwichristian2009]

@KaRaKteR2007 Because you are disobeying God. 1Timothy 2:5 For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus. Praying or contacting the dead is forbidden in Duet18:11. Acts4:12 "Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”

[KaRaKteR2007]

@kiwichristian2009 Oh, and by the way, Mary, through her apparitions, tells us to pray a lot [to Jesus]. Why would Satan want us to pray to Jesus, if you say that he can perform miracles too ? I agree, it's true.

The idea is that we want the same Salvation as you do, but we/you choose a different way, with prayers being the common practice.

[kiwichristian2009]

@KaRaKteR2007 The aparitions claim that marys heart can save people, and they tell people to pray the rosary to release people from purgatory. Mary cannot save anyone, repetitive prayers are forbidden in the Bible, and the whole gospel of salvation disproves the existence of a "purgatory".

[kiwichristian2009]

@KaRaKteR2007 "but we/you choose a different way, " Jesus said "I am THE way, THE truth and THE life". There is only one way to salvation, and it is not through prayer, through dead people, through church, through mass or sacraments or through good works. It is through Jesus Christ alone. Romans 10:9 "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved."

[KaRaKteR2007]

@kiwichristian2009 Thank you for your quick replies.

One thing caught my attention: it's the first time I hear that repetitive prayers are forbidden in the Bible. Please tell me more, maybe the reference to the Bible.

[kiwichristian2009]

@KaRaKteR2007 No problem. Remember, dont take my word for anything, prove all things from the Bible, not the word of man. Matthew 6:7. n 456 AD, Hindus are thought to have introduced the concept of praying with beads to the world. Catholics pray repetitive words with Rosary Beads that were first invented in 1090 AD, by "Peter the Hermit" and made popular by St. Dominic in 1208 AD.

[kiwichristian2009]

@KaRaKteR2007 Another thing, the rosary contains TEN TIMES MORE prayers and worship to mary than to God. God said he would not give His glory to any other.

[interestingandrew]

@kiwichristian2009 I dare you to read all the sections on Mary and Marian Devotion in the CCC. Worship and adoration of Christ is different from veneration and honoring of the Virgin Mary, and other saints. We do not believe that Mary divine nature, therefore we do not worship her. Get a clue, your ignorance is starting to show. The Rosary is a Marian Devotion, so while we mouth 50 Hail Marys, we are meditating on the life of Christ. Bet you didn't know that.

[kiwichristian2009]

@KaRaKteR2007 Another thing, the rosary contains TEN TIMES MORE prayers and worship to mary than to God. God said he would not give His glory to any other. Jesus taught us how to pray, and that is to our Father in heaven, not to mary. Note that Jesus taught us HOW to pray, not WHAT to pray. Therefore, "the Lords prayer" is not to be blindly repeated. It is an example of HOW to pray.

[interestingandrew]

@kiwichristian2009 I was just on another video and you happened to be there before me causing trouble. Are you saying that if I pray word for word what Jesus said to pray along with my other personal prayer I will not go to heaven? You obviously like to argue more than you like to learn about what you bash and smear. The LORD's Prayer is a great prayer to repeat, and MEDITATE on! You should try it sometime, it will do you more good than trying to break down other Christian's faith.

[kiwichristian2009]

@interestingandrew No, i am saying that Jesus showed us HOW to pray, not WHAT to pray. I talk to God every day, not with vain repetitions, but with conversation. Isnt mouthing God a better way "meditate" on Christ? Or how about this for an idea, mouth "Jesus".

[interestingandrew]

@kiwichristian2009 I think you misunderstand prayer, there is more than one way to pray and has been since before the time of Christ. Vocal prayer is talking to God in your own words, which Catholics do also (directly to God). If the I say the Rosary or the LP without thinking about what I am saying, I am indeed reciting a vain prayer, but when I meditate on each individual line of the LP, I am going on a spiritual journey using Christ's words as the map. How am I to know how to pray unless I...

[interestingandrew]

@kiwichristian2009 ...unless I meditate on how Christ is telling me "HOW" to pray. There is nothing wrong with it, if it helps me to deepen my relationship with my Saviour, how is that wrong? It make the mistake of assuming that all Catholics do is mindlessly repeat written prayers over and over to substitute for talking to God, which is not true. Written prayers like Hail Mary or Our Father are aids to a deeper life of prayer, not a replacement. Maybe you should try it with the Our Father

[interestingandrew]

@kiwichristian2009 The Bible is a Roman Catholic book, friend. And your personal nterpretations about what scripture says are mere opinions the other 40 thousand protestant denominations that fight over their swiss-cheese theology. Satan has you in a headlock and you're letting him stir you up and cause dysfunction between you and your Christian brethren. Catholic doctrine has lasted 2000 years because it is constructed from the ENTIRE Bible, not choice passages. Thank you

[kiwichristian2009]

@interestingandrew Rubbish. If the Bible is a Catholic book,

1. Why does it condemn clerical dress? (Matt. 23:5-6).

2. Why does it teach against the adoration of Mary? (Luke 11:27-28).

3. Why does it show that all Christians are priests? (1 Pet. 2:5,9).

4. Why does it condemn the observance of special days? (Gal. 4:9-11).

5. Why does it teach that all Christians are saints? (1 Cor. 1:2).

6. Why does it condemn the making and adoration of images? (Ex. 20:4-5).

[kiwichristian2009]

@interestingandrew 7. Why does it teach that baptism is immersion instead of pouring? (Col. 2:12).

8. Why does it forbid us to address religious leaders as "father"? (Matt. 23:9).

9. Why does it teach that Christ is the only foundation and not the apostle Peter? (1 Cor. 3:11).

10. Why does it teach that there is one mediator instead of many? (1 Tim. 2:5).

11. Why does it teach that a bishop must be a married man? (1 Tim. 3:2, 4-5).

[interestingandrew]

@kiwichristian2009 Wow, you have many questions! I'm not a scholar or a pastor and couldn't answer all your questions right away, but will get back to you as soon as I can.As far as many mediators, we believe that Christ is the ultimate mediator. For the sake of more prayer on our behalf, we ask those who are in heaven with him to aid us in prayer, that Christ may answer our prayers. Not that we ask for saints to grant wishes on their own power. It is through Christ alone that our salvation lies

[kiwichristian2009]

@interestingandrew But, dot you feel that God loves you enough to answer your prayers? And can you show me anywhere where the prayers of a dead person has any effect regarding living people? or vise versa. I am not here to argue, although i know that that is what it seems like. It just honestly amazes me that people do not feel they can pray to God directly. We are TOLD to pray to God, we are NOT told to pray to dead people.

[kiwichristian2009]

@interestingandrew 12. Why is it opposed to the primacy of Peter? (Luke 22:24-27).

13. Why does it oppose the idea of purgatory? (Luke 16:26).

14. Why is it completely silent about infant baptism, instrumental music in worship, indulgences, confession to priests, the rosary, the mass, and many other things in the Catholic Church?

[interestingandrew]

@kiwichristian2009 I don't know how the Bible opposes the primacy of Peter, when Christ himself installs Peter as the infallible leader of His Church. Think about this, if there is no Purgatory, where are Elijah, Enoch, and all who died before Christ, if they are in heaven, then Christ was not necessary for salvation is what you're saying, and if they are in Hell, then you say that God has no mercy. If you look closely, Catholicism is in the Bible, read the book of Acts.It contains many elements

[kiwichristian2009]

@interestingandrew If the Bible is a Catholic book, why does it nowhere mention the Catholic Church? Why is there no mention of a pope, a cardinal, an archbishop, a parish priest, a nun, or a member of any other Catholic order? If the Bible is a Catholic book, why is auricular confession, indulgences, prayers to the saints, adoration of Mary, veneration of relics and images, and many other rites and ceremonies of the Catholic Church, left out of it?



[kiwichristian2009]

Cardinal Newman, in his book, "The Development of the Christian Religion," admits that ... "Temples, incense, oil lamps, votive offerings, holy water, holidays and season of devotions, processions, blessing of fields, sacerdotal vestments, the tonsure (of priests and monks and nuns), images ... are all of pagan origin..." (Page 359).

[johnthreesixteen316]

The Roman catholic church claims Mary was sinless, and immaculate. The bible says otherwise. Where do I place my salvation trust? In the bible, not a man-made organization.

[johnthreesixteen316]

This apparition claims to be our co-redeemer, our suffering servant, our advocate, our mediator, omni-present, sinless and worthy of our adoration. These are all attributes of God Himself, Jesus Christ. These apparitions are clearly the work of Satan and his minions. God says He will share His glory with nobody.....KJV.....Isaiah 48:11...."For mine own sake, even for mine own sake, will I do it: for how should my name be polluted? and I will not give my glory unto another."

[junmeskie]

@johnthreesixteen316 Due you are a Protestant that does not believed in God's supernatural power Catholics even Muslims imitate Jesus in honoring his Mama Mary. Mary has no power all miracles attributed or interceded through Mary comes from her son Jesus alone.

Learn how to Love and be Grateful for Mary's participation in our salvation God made Mary's womb Sinless, Immaculate and pure for his only son tabernacle!

[johnthreesixteen316]

@junmeskie I'm not a protestant. I am a Christian. There is no intecession through Mary. The bible says Christ is the ONLY intercessor. The apparition is satanic in origin.

[junmeskie]

@johnthreesixteen316 you must really STUDY HISTORY - everyone who believes in Jesus are Christians Please go watch my video "Who Started Your Church?"

Unless you know what Catholics really believed you are just another typical IGNORANT Prots.

DO YOU EVEN KNOW THAT THE BIBLE CAME FROM THE CATHOLIC CHURCH?

hmmm?

[johnthreesixteen316]

@junmeskie Satan believes in Jesus. Does that make him a Christian? Christianity is a relationship, not a membership. Matthew 7:21....."Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven."

[junmeskie]

@johnthreesixteen316 INDEED and you believed in "Once Saved Always Saved" RIGHT?

[kiwichristian2009]

@junmeskie Jesus quoted scripture to satan. The satanic catholic church did NOT give us the Bible.

[kiwichristian2009]

@junmeskie So, muslims, mormons, jw's and satan are "christians" ?

[kiwichristian2009]

@junmeskie Provide biblical evidence that mary was assumed into heaven. and prove she remained a virgin, please.

[chifai30]

@johnthreesixteen316 "Just as Eve, wife of Adam, yet still a virgin, became by her disobedience the cause of death for herself and the whole human race, so Mary, too, espoused yet a virgin, became by her obedience the cause of salvation for herself and the whole human race." - St Irenaeus (2nd century)

"Death through Eve, life through Mary." - St Jerome (4th century)

Hence Jesus referred to Mary as 'woman' in John 19:26. Recognizing the role of Mary, Abraham, Moses, etc. doesn't reduce Jesus.

[johnthreesixteen316]

@chifai30 Mary, the cause of salvation? Galatians 1:9....."9 As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed." Christ is the author of our salvation.

[johnthreesixteen316]

@chifai30 It doesn't reduce Jesus, it removes Him. Let me ask you a question if I may......If I open a package of flower seeds, plant them in the garden and watch the flowers grow, should I give thanks to the package for the beautiful flowers?

[chifai30]

@johnthreesixteen316 Does recognizing Abraham as our father in the covenant remove YHWH? On the contrary, to be with YHWH makes Abraham your father and he should be honored as such. Same with Mary and Jesus. Mary and Jesus aren't in competition. It is important to note that the prefix "co" in the title Coredemptrix does not mean "equal to" but rather "with", coming from the Latin word cum. The title Coredemptrix never places Mary on a level of equality with Jesus

[johnthreesixteen316]

@chifai30 Hello friend.....don't give the flower seed package any credit. There isn't any room for co-redeemers, co-mediators, co-redemtrixes in this equation......

1 cross + 3 nails = 4 given. Christ alone.

[kiwichristian2009]

@chifai30 You are quoted sinful, fallible men. Our final authority must be the Word of God, and the Word Of God proves that the catholic church and its' teachings are unbiblical and anti-Christian

[chifai30]

@kiwichristian2009 Early church fathers from 2nd and 3rd century are sinful and fallible? Technically yes, but they are the people who defended the Trinity, the nature of Jesus as fully man and fully God, the notion of free will, the scriptures and its subsequent canonization, etc. In short, these early church fathers have much more contribution to Christianity and much more authority than your pastor!

[kiwichristian2009]

@conceil8 Amen! The catholic church is totally anti-Christian

[junmeskie]

For the believer,

NO EXPLANATION IS NECESSARY.

For the Skeptic,

NO EXPLANATION WILL SATISFY.

Infidels will always ask how and why!

Faith is not based on reason!

[johnthreesixteen316]

@junmeskie Any apparition which claims to be our co-redeemer, co-redemptrix, our intercessor, our suffering servant, universal mediator of graces, our refuge, our advocate to save us, our mediator, immaculately conceived, the savior of the world, ark of salvation and suffers on our behalf for the atonement of sins IS A LIAR. These are all attributes of God Himself, Jesus Christ. This isn't Mary. This is Satan. Satan's coolaid looks good.....it smells good....it tastes good.....oops you're dead.

[elLuchador0]

Acts 2,17-21

In the last days it will be, God declares, That I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams. Even upon my slaves, both men and women, in those days I will pour out My Spirit; and they shall prophesy. And I will show portents in the heaven above and signs on the earth below, blood, and fire, and smoky mist.

This things isn't real.Since we can recolect people think they are the last genaration.This is all BS.
