The Word tells us the false prophets will come from within. Fatima is one of those false prophets.

If I understand you correctly, you are calling the mother of God a false prophet? You believe that the woman who bore Jesus Christ is a deceiver? Luke 1:48

Have you read the full statements of what this "vision" said?

I am saying that whatever this "vision" was is a false prophet based on a comparison of what Jesus Christ has said.

Part of what the "vision" told the children: "God asks each one of us to stop offending Him. We must pray, especially the Rosary. By this frequent prayer of the Rosary, we will get the graces we need to overcome sin. God wants us to have devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary and to work to spread this devotion throughout the world. Our Lady said, 'My Immaculate Heart will be your refuge and the way that will lead you to God.' If we wish to go to God, we have a sure way to Him through true devotion to the Immaculate Heart of His Mother.

Now contrast with the words of the Son of Mary.

I am the way, the truth, the life..no one comes to the Father but through Me. (John 14:6 NASB)

From the Greek perspective, Jesus is saying that He is the only way to get to the Father. You cannot come to Him through any other person.

This would include this "vision".

John makes extensive use of the emphatic pronoun structure in his Gospel.

His Gospel, along with the rest of the Word, makes it clear that it is only through Jesus, that is through belief in Jesus, that we can gain eternal life.

The Greek rules out any other agency or person.

Any person.

The Greek, behind John 14:6 and other passages in John and the Word itself, removes any other agency through which people can gain the Father.

In essence when this is used in the Greek it is the writers way of contrasting on person with another.

That would include this apparition.

Roman Catholics would do well to seriously evaluate the statements of the "vision" at Fatima and compare them with the Words of Jesus.

The Mary of Scripture, the mother of JESUS, is not a false prophet.

The apparition that calls itself the Mary, mother of God, and tries to lead people to God through another means than Christ, IS a false prophet.

Peter, the guy who y'all claim is your first pope says this....

Acts 4:11-12 This Jesus is the stone that was rejected by you, the builders, which has become the cornerstone. And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”

Any spirit which claims that salvation can come through something besides Jesus, like praying and the rosary, and Mary, is a lying spirit, a false prophet, and should be recognized as such.

It wasn't the Mary of Scripture that appeared at Fatima.
