We need to be careful. Ultimately, our faith cannot be in these types of things. It should be in the finished work of Christ on the cross, in His Word, in the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, Christ’s intercession at the Father’s right hand and in His soon coming. Pharaoh’s magicians were able to turn their rods into snakes (Aarons’ rod ate theirs, hee, hee). My point is that Jesus told his disciples 4 times to beware that in the Last Days deceivers would come. He stated that spiritual discernment would be in short supply and that the deception that was coming would even be difficult for true believers to sort out (to deceive the very elect, if that were possible). The antichrist and false prophet will be able to do lots of impressive stuff. Does that mean they’re “from God”? Of course not. They get their power from the other side - Satan himself. Just be cautious of those claiming “signs and wonders” as evidence that they’re from God or speaking from Him. Does their life and ministry line up with God’s Word? Are they preaching a different gospel? I think it was the Apostle Paul that stated that, “But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed,” even if they do impressive stuff.
Well there's the problem right there...Do they care what's said in the scriptures??? Of course not...The question is: what does the Catholic religion claim about the issue...
