You seem to have a special hatred of the Mother of Jesus Christ and dismiss Her as a false "apparation".

Do you believe in the "apparition" of the angel Gabriel at the Annunication to Mary?

Do you believe in the apparitions of Moses and Elias at Christ's Transfiguration?

The hero of the protestants, Martin Luther, even stated he wrestled with the devil and threw an inkwell at him.

Too bad the devil won that wrestling match.

But it seems they're all false apparitions by your personal judgement of "apparations".

The visit at the annunciation and the appearance of Moses and Elijah are well documented in Scripture. Not so the demonic Marian apparitions Catholics like to put so much store in. Ealgeone one does not hate Mary, he just doesn’t follow doctrines of demons and others that point away from Christ and the gospel of Grace as outlined in Scripture.

I don’t follow any man. The Bible is the Word: Through it and the Holy Spirit, He guides me.

You seem to have a special form of misunderstanding on this issue and others.

Paul was clear in the passages from Galatians that I posted to you earlier about an "angel from heaven" preaching a gospel contrary to what he and others had preached to the Galatians.

Wearing a man-made piece of cloth to avoid the eternal fire, IF they do certain things, is contrary to the gospel Paul and the others preached.

Do we have record anywhere of Mary, while she was alive and on earth, ever telling believers of her Son to be "devoted" to her or to build churches in her honor? No.

Do we have record of her ever telling believers to wear a man-made piece of cloth so they would avoid the eternal fire while she was here on earth? NO.

Do we have record in the New Testament of anyone praying TO Mary....or trusting in her protection? No.

Do we have record of her ever telling people secrets to be revealed only at a very later date? No.

These are all positions of Roman Catholicism.....not Christianity.

This is why we consult Scripture to confirm or deny the accuracy or falseness of any message from any apparition or any person.

Scripture is the only infallible, God inspired writings a believer has to assess the message's accuracy. Hence the reason for "sola scriptura".

Recall also that Satan can masquerade as an angel of light in an effort to try and deceive the believer.

For those wearing the Brown Scapular he's already won that battle.

Do you believe in the "apparition" of the angel Gabriel at the Annunication to Mary?

No...I believe in Christ. I recognize Gabriel a a legitimate angel from God. He's not an apparition. Why? It's recorded in Scripture.

*****

Do you believe in the apparitions of Moses and Elias at Christ's Transfiguration?

I believe in Christ. I recognize what happened at the Transfiguration as legitimate. Moses and Elias are not apparitions. Why? Because it is recorded in Scripture.

The hero of the protestants, Martin Luther, even stated he wrestled with the devil and threw an inkwell at him.

Very possible Luther did wrestle with the enemy as he was about to expose a lot of the false teachings of the enemy.

Paul noted this struggle.

For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. Ephesians 6:12 NASB

Too bad the devil won that wrestling match.

No, but he is winning a lot of other matches right now.

He's already defeated the person who wears the Brown Scapular. Why? He's convinced that person to believe in a man-made piece of cloth to keep them from the eternal fire over the words of the Son of God.

Think about that for a moment.

It’s very interesting how you seem to think that fighting against the devil is a BAD thing.
