It would be nice to be able to have a rational discussion of this matter.

It would be nice to be able to have a rational discussion of this matter.

************

My questions are fairly simple -- and merely beg rational answers...

(1) Where in the canon of Biblical Scripture do we find:

(a) Examples of an extraordinary dispensation of post-testamental transcendent & divine (healing) power given to the human mother of Jesus??
--OR--
(b) Find Biblical accounts of her manifesting healing gifts in the New Testament accounts -- (as we read about Peter, Paul, Ananias, and others manifesting spiritual gifts in the book of Acts)??
--OR--
(c) Find prophecy or prophetic promises directing believers to the holy expectations of these "appearances" and works of healings??

**********

(2) How does any congregation or organization assert the privilege of "affirming" testimonies or events that are clearly extra-biblical in their basic nature and plain description--
(thereby inviting pilgims to the sites and memorials of these questionable events??)

**********

(3) Have we disregarded the clear warnings and prohibitions given in both Old & New Testaments for "adding to..." OR "taking away..." from the inspired revelations??

**********

(4) Are we not clearly warned against the manifestation of spurious works and counterfeit miracles in trhe last days?

**********

Merely looking for the rational (Biblical) reasoning here....

Thanks in advance--
