re question about virgin mary i think you re talking about the assumption of the blessed virgin mary it says that the immaculate mother of god the ever virgin mary having completed the course of her earthly life was assumed body and soul into heavenly glory this was defined by a papal statement in though it had certainly been believed by some before that like the immaculate conception this is primarily a roman catholic doctrine and like it it has no direct biblical support note that catholics do not believe in sola scriptura that is they do not believe that the bible is the only source of christian knowledge thus the fact that a doctrine has little biblical support is not necessarily significant to them they believe that truth can be passed on through traditions of the church and also that it can be revealed to the church i m not interested in yet another catholic protestant argument but if any catholics can tell us the basis for these beliefs i think it would be appropriate clh in the bible there are a lot of instances where god speaks to people where a person just came to know some piece of information where a person walks off into the desert for days etc with all of god s power he certainly can do whatever he wants when he wants it the bible ends with the book of revelations but does god s reign end there no so who can say for sure that god s messages are either no longer happening or still happening i can now hear the clamor for proof with the cold response i ve gotten from the past from this group it s very hard to get the point across i ll only go over the physical stuff so that skeptics can look at documents stored somewhere i ve cited the uncorrupted bodies of saints before they re still there the apparitions at fatima portugal culminated in a miracle specifically granted to show god s existence that was the spinning descending of the sun it was seen in several countries that event is approved by the pope currently images of mary in japan korea yugoslavia philippines africa are showing tears natural or blood these are still under investigation by the church but realize that investigations take decades to finish and if the message is christ will come in ten days that s a bit too late isn t it other events under investigation are inner locutions coming to know stigmata the person exhibits christ s wounds and they don t heal and doctor s don t know why non believers are welcome to pore through documents i m sure this stuff is not like koresh or oral roberts give me m or god will call me home it s free find out why they re happening as we ourselves are studying why if anybody can figure this out tell us you can be of any religion if you have the resources go to one of the countries i mentioned these are not members only events god and mary invites everybody so in conclusion finally we rc s believe in the modern day manifestations of god and mary we are scared to death sometimes although we re told not to there are more proofs and events and that is why not everything is in the bible although in a lot of the apparitions we are told to read the bible as far as the protestant vs catholics issue is concerned in the end god s churches will unite i m not sure how i have some idea but the point is we shouldn t worry about the versus part just do god s work that s all that matters unity will come btw i m just a plain person i m not the pope s spokesperson but i am rc mark ashley disclaimer my opinions not harris marka gcx ssd csd harris com the lost los angelino
