I’m trying to understand Mary using both logic and what I’ve learned about the supernatural world.............
You spend a lot of time focusing on miracles. So did the people in the Bible. but still the people didn’t believe in Jesus or God. He raised the dead, fed them, gave them freedom, but they kept asking for MORE miracles as proof. Jesus tells the Pharisees you search the scripture for eternal life but the scriptures point to Me. It isn’t about Mary, it isn’t about Elisha, it isn’t about Abraham and it isn’t about................., it is about God.
Again, where do you test things for the truth, our own understanding or the Bible, where God has revealed himself.
Again, I challenge you to start reading the Bible..........
You are by all evidence an intelligent thinking person, do not rely on secondary sources, when the primary source is right in front of you.
I solemnly ask everyone: what have you done with Scriptures? Scriptures are a mirror that reflect Me; how is it, if you say you know the Scriptures, you do not recognise My speech? how is it you so easily contradict the truth? I tell you, if you do not recognise Me in My sayings now, it is simply that you do not know nor understand the Scriptures that are a key of the Holy Spirit;I have found the messages in True Life In God to be of ineffable value to me and my understanding, faith and belief.if some of you say: "we do not need this prophetic revelation, we are not obliged to listen to it or read it because Scriptures are enough for us and we can learn all knowledge from them;" I ask you in your incredulity: "do you know why you do not believe and do you know why you are so indifferent and determined to close your heart? do you know why you do not seek anything beyond it?" it is because you have not the Holy Spirit who could have risen you from darkness into His Light enlightening your soul to see the Son together with the Father manifesting themselves to you; the Holy Spirit would have breathed in you a resurrection breath invigorating you, giving you life in Me; can a soul who is dead understand Scriptures and put them into practice if he is not alive?
if you would have understood the Scriptures that are as a mirror, reflecting My Image, you would not have said: "Scriptures are enough for me;" no, My friend, Scriptures are not enough if you do not possess the Holy Spirit; it is through the Light of the Holy Spirit that Revelation can be understood and all that seemed then impenetrable mysteries in Scriptures, and sealed, would become knowable and clear because the key of knowledge would be given to you by the Spirit;
yet, I tell you truly: anyone who has willingly accepted Me, even now when I am speaking, is blessed, because through Me he receives knowledge and Wisdom in such a prodigious way that it is as though he has read all of the Scriptures! he himself will be like a loud book bearing within himself the divine inspirations one obtains through grace; then, My daughter, when he reads Scriptures he would see, not only the words, but, as you have experienced, Vassula, he would see the deep spiritual meaning of its context with his spiritual eye;
That which draws you to the Holy Trinity and deepens your understanding, trust, faith and belief in Jesus, our Heavenly Father and the Holy Spirit, is not a demonic thing of Satan.
Even Satan isn't stupid enough to work against himself like that.
