Hillary Clinton leaves flowers for Our Lady of Guadalupe, asks Who painted it?
Sorry ;-) .... I have never forgotten that story. It always makes me laugh.
The smartest woman in the world!
It is funny to think that she actually said that. And she is our Secretary of State?
We are in bigggggggg troubbbble!
Why is it that there are no parlor trick “miracles” like this recorded in the Bible, yet they seem to be the mainstay of the RCC?
Good point. There are no talking donkeys in the Bible, or mysterious writing appearing on walls, or a staff that turns into a snake. You really know your Bible well.
You mean like creating wine out of water because a steward misjudged the number of wedding guests? Or causing a fish to bite a hook so the fisherman can retrieve the gold coin stuck in its mouth? Or curing blindness with mud and spit instead of just commanding the blind man to see?
Protestants sure seem to have a problem with material spirituality sometimes....
This image of Our Lady is even more beautiful than its basilica isn’t.
I got news for you all. God is every bit alive and working mightily in our lives today as he was two thousand, three thousand, or four thousand years ago. Did you hear the one about the autistic boy who didn't talk until he was four, but now at the age of 6 is speaking and relating to others? And by the way, there isn't anything wrong with God's painting abilities either.
No faith for these people who don’t believe in miracles?
Go figure that one out. Our bodies are miracles, no matter what age we are!
OK, I give up. What on earth is a “tilma?” And why is it impossible to paint images on them?
A tilma was a garment worn by peasants, it’s simply a cloak made from local plant (cactus) material and, under normal circumstances, would deteriorate in a few years. One could paint on them but the tilma in question has no known paints or brush strokes on it. Scientists cannot explain how the image was made.
My favorite site,
Full story of Our Lady of Guadalupe .
Sometime a long time ago I was sent material on a Movie that was to be done in which Juan was a Prince.Also a book was to follow that I never received.The movie was never made.Wish I had more tome to study these things.If you go to the website you can light a candle for your intentions.:)
Thanks.
Because Christians in the Bible did not misidentify hallucinations as miracles.
The vision at Guadalupe and the vision at Fatima and the vision at Lourdes are really and truly the hallucination at Guadalupe and the hallucination at Fatima and the hallucination at Lourdes.
A religion built on hallucinations is not a Scriptural faith and those who put their faith in hallucinations stand on shifting sand.
