Yeah, I’ve always thought that, about that issue, too.
There’s been plenty of incongruencies along the way, as well as in the series of incidents originating the whole thing.
RC’s persistently challenge me with . . . how could satan cause a personage to advocate such ‘righteous’ things.
I’m not sure how righteous those exhortations were if they were not originating from Christ, Himself.
They just ended up causing millions of people to attach themselves all the more firmly to Mary vs to Christ.
And, there are vague to not so vague globalist implications in the messages, to begin with.
To me, the biggest import, is that it sets Mary up quite well to be presented yet again via the same critters and technologies . . . as a kind of Pied Piper to millions of RC’s at some critical END TIMES era point . . . leading the undiscerning down the yellow brick road to a horrible trap.
Thanks.
Have you forgotten your Scripture?
"No one can say, 'Jesus Christ is Lord', except in the Holy Spirit."
Not to mention that you're making what amounts to an ad hominem argument: "Whether it's true or not depends on who's saying it."
Reason with me, Quix.
Anything Satan does, he is able to do because God permits him to do it. True or false?
God, in Scripture, condemns leading little children astray and says it ought to be punished with a millstone around the neck. True or false?
The Fatima apparitions began with an entity identified as St. Michael the Archangel teaching the children to pray, "O my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of hell, lead all souls to heaven, especially those most in need of Thy mercy." True or false? [That part is factual: true.]
If the Fatima apparitions were demonic in their entirety, then this episode was demonic also. True or false?
So you're asking me to believe that God permitted a demonic entity to teach little children to call on Jesus for their salvation? Can demonic entities even do that?
Even assuming a demonic entity is capable of that, or would want to, how is permitting that consistent with God's own revelation of his character in Scripture? Doesn't it put God's millstone around his own neck?
They just ended up causing millions of people to attach themselves all the more firmly to Mary vs to Christ.
Please explain how (1) teaching people to call on Jesus for their salvation; (2) teaching people that the world is due for chastisement because of its sins (and giving specific signs portending some of those chastisements); and (3) teaching people that hell is real and fearful somehow "causes millions of people to attach themselves ... to Mary vs to Christ".
IMO, Protestants' real objection to Fatima is simple. If Fatima is true, then Catholicism is true. Therefore, Fatima cannot be true.
