I wouldn't say this is a "red herring" at all, I'd say it's pretty much the whole story. The real scales are on YOUR eyes, and it's plainly obvious. The "topic at hand" has already been addressed, and you fail to comprehend it precisely because of the enormity of these scales.
The topic at hand is ONLY to say that the Satan was responsible for this apparition. I refuted that claim with the following:
Quote:
The entire region was filled with pagans practicing human sacrifice and they converted to Christianity - 9-10 million in ten years alone.
That doesn't sound like something the devil would do. The healings have led thousands to have faith in the one triune God. That's not something that Satan would do.
You didn't respond to the fact that Satan did NOT cause this because of the fruit that it bore.
I could equally claim that Satan has caused you to harden your heart against the Mother of God as demonstrated in your posts.
You have no logical answer.
They were NOT converted to Christianity. They were converted into a
Marian cult.
This is the whole problem. You don't know what Christianity really is. To you, Christianity deeply involves
mariolatry, because that's what you've been led to believe your entire life. It's your identity. You've been brainwashed into it. And because you aren't regenerated by the Holy Spirit, you completely lack the discernment to know what it is you're actually doing and saying (bowing and praying to Mary and crediting her for your salvation) and how clear and obvious it is that it isn't from God, it's from the Devil.
Therefore, when people are converted into the same belief system you are in, i.e. Roman Catholicism, naturally you think they've converted into
Christianity. But they've been converted, rather, into a
counterfeit Christianity. One that does just enough to
look like actual Christianity, even mimicking the vocabulary and using the same texts, but which twists and distorts it just enough to render it into a fatal error. It tricks people into thinking they are a Christian, but the truth is they've been lied to, and have been led away from true Christianity. And
this is EXACTLY the modus operandi of Satan. He takes the truth, and twists and distorts it, and takes people down with him. THIS is the fruit that is born of Satan.
It's sooo bad, that you actually believe it's "Satanic" to be "hardened" against "the Mother of God", a completely unbiblical title, a title that arose from the
Christian compromise with Roman paganism. There is NO "Mother of God". God NEVER told us that. That came from the whims of fallible man. Jesus never even called Mary his "mother" in Scripture. Yet, somehow your "church" turned Mary into nothing short of a goddess, who is co-equal in attributes to that of Jesus Christ. And you made this belief about her a requirement, or you go to Hell. If you can not recognize this as surely NOT being from God, then you are nothing but a complete fool.
For the love of God, man,
HOW DO YOU NOT SEE THE PROBLEM HERE:
*******************************************************"
Most Holy Virgin Immaculate, my Mother Mary,
to you who are the Mother of my Lord, the Queen of the universe, the advocate,
the hope, and the refuge of sinners,
I venerate you, great Queen, and I thank you for the many graces
you have bestowed upon me even unto this day;
in particular for having delivered me from the hell
which I have so often deserved by my sins....
... I promise to serve you willingly for ever...
... I place in you all my hopes for salvation."
******************************************************
To the Roman Catholics reading this who can't see the problem there, or think it's actually justifiable in some way, shape, or form: simply stated, you do not belong to God, you are of the Devil. I'm not addressing you. However, to the Roman Catholics who really are true believers and
do belong to God, and who
know this is wrong: I plead with you to open your eyes, stop all this, repent, and get out. "
Come out of her, my people, lest you take part in her sins, lest you share in her plagues" - God
