1 | Are they the same spirit? | Gen 1:1 | jlpangilinan | 23853 | ||
I have also cousins that raised catholic, and until now they still in that religion. It is very hard for them to change thier believed. What I did is sharing to them the word of God and pray for them and hope God will justify them becuase they are good in personality they not cause harm to anyone. The problem is reading bible is not important to them but the tradition. They are not also face discussion or a simple debate because they dont know how to depend thier faith in a biblical type of discussion they simply rely in what they heard or what they taught to them. You mentioned that they are claiming that Mary is still virgin if they read the bible they will know that it is not true. I dont believed that any woman after giving birth is still virgin. Mr 6:3 Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him. It is very clear that mary has other childrens. So how come that He is still a virgin. But I respect her as a mother of Christ when the Lord is in His human form. God bless, Johnny |

2 | Are they the same spirit? | Gen 1:1 | There | 23887 | ||
Hi Johnny, I too have much respect for Mary, the mother of God's real Son. I think she was correct when she said that "all generations shall call me blessed". She is "blessed among women." But in my opinion, she is not the same person as the apparition. She (the Mary in the apparitions) is considered to still be a virgin because she identified herself as such. Almost every ounce of Catholic doctrine about "Mary" has come from the apparition herself. If her words disagreed with the Bible, then they go with her words and discard the Biblical truth. I was very upset years ago after finding out the many "differences" between what I was taught and what the Bible says. I had trouble believing that a Church that originally based it's beliefs on the truth of God's Word had moved so far as to include in its doctrine -- teaching that totally contradicted His Word. I have family members still in that denomination, and most are a loving group of people. Most have been encouraged to read the Bible for themselves, so they can sort out the truth from the lie. And yes, it is very hard to change. Not just because many things have become "habits" or "traditional", but also because it is very hard to digest the fact that people we thought cared about us... had taught us non-truths. It's very hard to accept. For me, I had to come to the realization that they too had been duped... |
