Dear Scott and John, I recently had a similar experience. I went to a Catholic Church and was very hestitant to go with a freind,but I ended up spending alot of time talking to a beautiful believer. I mean totally sincere in her faith, I really drilled her let me tell you. I went home floating in His love. I realized that He has His people everywhere and is in control and really does not need me but I need Him. Imagine that!It gets kind of sick or plank vision to split hairs on each Churchs doctrine for we are only called to give the Good News of salvation and to love others as He loved us. The rest is His burden that He is so capable of handling.The false doctrines are everywhere today in fact even the elect would be decieved if it were possible.This to me is another cloud in the sky (sign) that we are near His return. But I remember that it is not possible to be decieved if I study and keep my eyes on Him.Nancy

The virgin Mary has been maligned and dishonored in Protestant circles. They have neglected and abused her role in Jesus's salvation of mankind.
Her womb truly became the temple and holy sanctuary where God's divine Son took on His humanity. She became the mother of the God-man Jesus.
There is no parallel or equivalent in salvation history. This humble and virtuous little Israelite girl bore an unequaled affection for Christ that was both human and divine--her love for Jesus was complete. She was the first to love, to know and to recognize the Messiah by divine revelation from God. John leaped in his mother's womb for joy when he came into the presence of the divine sanctuary and its divine content, Jesus. When Elizabeth just heard Mary's salutation, she was filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the words from the Catholic Hail to Mary: "Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb. And whence is this to me, that the the mother of my Lord should come to me? For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy" Luke 1:42-44
The Orthodox Christians call her the God-bearer--the Theotokos the mother of God. Since Jesus is fully God, Mary truly is the mother of the God-man Jesus.
What can compare to the praise that Mary gives to God for the birth of Jesus:


46: And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord,

47: And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.

48: For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all
generations shall call me blessed.

49: For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy is his name.

50: And his mercy is on them that fear him from generation to generation.

51: He hath shewed strength with his arm; he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their
hearts.

52: He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and exalted them of low degree.

53: He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away.

54: He hath holpen his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy;

55: As he spake to our fathers, to Abraham, and to his seed for ever.


God has truly fulfilled his promises to Abraham and to the true and believing Israel of God and brought forth their righteouness and the righteouness of all those who accept Him.

><>...Wecome Scott, do you sincerely believe that Mary,...><>

the Blessed mother of our Lord, who maintained a very low profile while Jesus was alive would now find it necessary to take a front row seat?...And bring her plan to mankind?...The word of God does not speak of such a plan.! Why would Mary?

Mary speaking?

>>>"Of the faithful, who are supporters of my Movement, I ask:
That they consecrate themselves in a special way to my Immaculate Heart, without being concerned for external or
juridical bonds, but only for giving themselves completely to me, so
that I may dispose freely of their whole being and arrange their whole life according to my plans....
They must let themselves be led by me, like little children.
What joy and what a gift of
love will Jesus in the Eucharist communicate to these faithful who
are consecrated to me!
Let them recite the holy rosary every day so as to hasten my great return">>>

Scott this is absolutely contrary to the word of God.

Jesus said:
Matt 12:50
50 For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.
Jesus told us all things.!

We saw a news show some time ago concerning the other link you provided, we also know personally some who went to that location in GA., the woman is more like a crystal ball gazer!....None of it lines up with the word of God.! None of it!

Jesus is the good Shepherd;
John 10:3-5
3 To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.
4 And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.
5 And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.

Have blessed day
Shalom...><>
