Some of us believe that Fatima was an early segment of that.

Many people were converted to the Christian Faith because of Fatima.

For someone to attribute Fatima to the work of satan is NO different than the Pharisees attributing Christ;s miracles to the work of satan.

All GOOD things come from Christ! what part of that do you NOT understand?

There’s a couple of examples of demonized persons in the NT proclaiming that Jesus was the Son of God . . .

And, a couple of my Mother’s cousins found themselves in Montana or Wyoming without any money.

So they staged a Revival. Neither one of them were walking with God at the time. But they’d grown up in it and knew all the jargon and buttons to push. One played guitar and sang well. The other preached pretty well.

They took an offering and went on their way.

Years later, they’d still run into folks who were saved in that phoney Revival.

The worst Deception is that which is just a bit of a deviation from the truth.

Or . . . one which seduces to a phoney icon of the real.

THAT’S WHOLESALE INACCURATE, WRONG, UNTRUE.

As the top flight Portugese investigators have documented . . . there’s FAR MORE data points in common—virtually identical in probably more than 95% of the data points—identical with typical UFO events—in the Fatima incidents . . . than there are congruencies between Fatima and any Biblical phenomena.

The Vatican did QUITE A NUMBER on the experiencers and on the story—morphing into THEIR icons, themes, dogma very early on.

Thankfully, the investigators had access to the archives in Portugal as well as to still living witnesses. A far different picture emerged from meticulous research, than the fantasies scripted by the Vatican agents.

Maybe.

Yes, it is different. There's a world of difference.

Jesus is God Himself, come in the flesh. He made no secret of that. For someone to claim (or accuse) Him of being filled with Satan and doing His works through the demonic power is blasphemy and calling Him a liar.

To question an apparition that is supposedly of Mary, is not the same as saying that Jesus was doing His works by Satan's power. Mary is not God and there's not even any real proof that what people saw WAS her. If Satan can appear as an angel of light to deceive, then it has to be considered that any visions or apparitions are suspect which is a far cry from accusing the living, breathing,Son of God of being demon possessed.

All GOOD things come from Christ! what part of that do you NOT understand?

Satan can counterfeit miracles. What don't you get about that? Matthew 7:21-23 21"Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?' 23Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!'
