To: Salvation
The pictures of the dancing sun were in the local newspaper. It is factual.

Recall that Satan can turn himself into an angel of light. Revelation also records He is able to perform signs as well.

Recall also that Satan knows the Word, probably better than all of us, and He will selectively quote it as we saw in the temptation of Jesus. He will also ever so slightly twist the Word as we saw in the Garden.

Pharaoh's magicians could perform some tricks as well.

Did something happen at Fatima? Let's concede for the moment that it did.

The task remains to evaluate the message of the "vision" against the Word to see if it stands up.

An honest comparison of the two will reveal that whatever the "vision" said at Fatima does not stand up when compared to the light of the Word.

Example:

Statement by the "vision":

"In order to move ever closer to Her, and therefore to Her Son, Our Lady stressed the importance of praying at least five decades of the Rosary daily. She asked us to wear the Brown Scapular (emphasis mine).

http://www.gotquestions.org/lady-fatima.html

What is the Brown Scapular for those who may be casually following this discussion?

From https://www.ewtn.com/expert/answers/brown_scapular.htm

Those who wear it practice it a special devotion to Mary. In the past this was the Little Office of Our Lady, but today this can be commuted by any priest to the rosary. In addition, the person has a special entrustment of themselves to Mary for their salvation. This, in fact, has been promised to those who faithfully wear the scapular: "Those who die wearing this scapular shall not suffer eternal fire."

Pay close attention....the ones who are wearing this are trusting in Mary for their salvation.

But this is not the Mary of the Bible for she never, ever said anything of the sort for she recognized that her Son, the Only Son of God was her savior.

Luke 1:46-47 (NASB) And Mary said, "My soul exalts the Lord, and my spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior."

Notice also, they are promised if they die while wearing this, they will not go to Hell.

Salvation, let me ask you a direct question for which I would appreciate an answer.

Honestly, is this supported anywhere in the Word of God?

No.

It is in direct contrast to the Word.

Paul writes in Romans 5:8-9 (NASB)

But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from the wrath of God through Him.

It is through Christ and Christ alone that we have salvation.

NO ONE ELSE.

The Word of God is clear on this.

Whatever happened/appeared at Fatima is a false prophet.

Do you suppose the one who claimed to be the angel Moroni, who allegedly appeared to Joe Smith, was actually Satan?

I could say you are useless.

But you are worse than useless.
