You know the story of Our Lady of Fatima? Pretty interesting especially the Revelations she told the children to relay to the Pope. In regards to ww1 & ww2. I'm just saying if you have nothing else to do and your phone in hand.

@kentex35 Jesus warns not to add to any revelations in the end of The book of Revelation though! Be careful, Satan comes as an angel of light trying to deceive if it was possible even the elect!
@Carazaa Then how do you explain the Book of Mormon? The Angel Moroni appeared to Joseph Smith and gave him the Golden Tablets, which he was able to copy. These Tablets were observed and handled by a number of witnesses, whose identities are beyond question. These were real people who appeared in census records, were photographed in some cases, and whose descendants are alive to this day. It would seem that there is more evidence for the Book of Mormon than the Gospels, which were written by characters for whom no real evidence exists of their identities beyond their names.

Revelation is a little better as it was written by John of Patmos, whose existence is more certain, but he was writing about events of the time, not future events.

@LeopoldBloom How do I explain revelations from God after the Book of
Revelation? Jesus said in Revelation 22 last few verses of the Bible “do not add to this book or I’ll add to you the plagues in this book, and don’t take away from this book or I’ll take away the rewards of this book”

@LeopoldBloom So basically Mormons did [b]not have a revelation from God but were deceived by Satan[/b]

@Carazaa you don't explain Revelations. You just say there are a lot of different interpretations. I don't think anyone is more right or wrong than another opinion in this case.

@Carazaa I tried to read their Bible but I'm too ingrained in my faith to be fair.

@Carazaa The minute ANYONE claims to have revelations from angels you can be assured that the angel is demonic in origin. St Paul warned us about that. Galatians 1:8

@hippyjoe1955 this was from the Blessed Mother. Jesus'mom. She reappeared to these 3 kids everyday for a month or so. I say revelations but they were warnings. She told the kids things she wanted them to tell the Pope. One being that God didn't approve of the direction the church was going. She told the kids to pay the rosary daily and said that there would be a great war if the world continued the way it was going. And that there will be another great war if they continued..
People started showing up with the kids and witnesses never saw Her and that the kids seemed to go into a trance as soon as they arrived. She took the little boy and showed him what Hell looked like. She also told them God was pleased with Portugal and there was no need to worry about the war. The two youngest brother and sister passed away in the next two years the last older cousin passed away in 2005. She tried of the bishop in white that would only live a year after being voted Pope. There are more things to this story but memory fails me now. I'm not evangelizing, just thought it was interesting.
Can you say run on sentence lol sorry.

@kentex35 Yes I am acquainted with Fatima. I always found it interesting how the child was shown hell but not Heaven. St Paul talks about visions of heaven and I have had visions of heaven. Not sure why hell. Any ideas?

@hippyjoe1955 now that you asked no. I wonder my own damn self but as it were I'm sure She knew they were going to be with Her soon. Maybe just to tell people it existed and what it was like. I guess to clarify that if your bad you die when you die isn't true. For those that didn't believe an all loving God would allow an eternal torture chamber for the bad ones.

@kentex35 I think that is why I am a Christian and not a catholic. I only seek Jesus and His Gift for me. I don't use intermediaries such as Mary or angels or saints. I talk to my Father and Brother and they talk to me.
