2 Corinthians 11:14 warns that Satan himself can disguise as an angel of light. These apparitions DO NOT agree with the Bible.

Franklin Li, it is true that Satan can disguise as an angel of light but that is more appropriate in your pastors and ministers who invented their own religion and churches for the sake of enriching themselves.

Concerning the Apparitions. I think you should read your Bible thoroughly because THE DOCTRINE OF APPARITION is well established in the Sacred Scriptures:

1. Luke 9:8 [Good News Bible] "Others were saying that Elijah had APPEARED, and still others that one of the prophets of long ago had come back to life."

See, the Jews during the time of the Lord Jesus had a clear belief on Apparition. They actually expect an apparition of a holy man of God. They are like Catholics in their understanding of Life After Death. Did the Lord Jesus corrected them on that? No, no, no... Instead the Lord gave them incontestable proof that they are right. Here:

2. Matthew 17:3 [King James Version] "And, behold, there APPEARED unto them Moses and Elias talking with him."

See, holy people or saints or great men of God like Moses and Elijah appeared on earth. These are two Saints that actually appeared and have been seen by Apostolic Witnesses no less. Ha, ha, ha... THAT IS APPARITION. Much more, this is supported by other Gospel passages:

3. Mark 9:4 [KJV] "And there APPEARED unto them Elias with Moses: and they were talking with Jesus." Also,

4. Luke 9:30-31 [KJV] "And, behold, there talked with him two men, which were Moses and Elias: WHO APPEARED IN GLORY, and spake of his decease which he should accomplish at Jerusalem."

Ha, ha, ha... Look at that... Behold. The Saints APPEARED IN GLORY. That is very similar to the apparItions of other Catholic Saints especially the Mother of the Messiah who is definitely more holy than your religious leader. HOW COME THERE IS NO APPARITIONS OF SAINTS IN THE BORN-AGAIN CHURCHES? BECAUSE THEY ARE FAKE!

If you will check the translation of Good News Bible or Today's English Version the words used were: "heavenly glory". Moses and Elijah appeared in HEAVENLY GLORY. That is very similar to Catholic Apparitions.

5. Matthew 27:52-53 [KJV] "And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the SAINTS which slept arose, And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and APPEARED UNTO MANY."

Ha, ha, ha... once again its very Catholic. There is the resurrection of the body for the SAINTS. Then they APPEARED and seen by MANY. Ha, ha, ha...

How come the Jews, the Apostles and the Catholics have witnessed Apparitions yet Franklin Li and his religion do not? IT MEANS YOU BELONG TO A FAKE CHURCH. Go to the Catholic Church... The One True Church.

Again, please read this one:

6. Acts 2:17 [Amplified Bible] "And it shall come to pass in the last days, God declares, that I will pour out of My Spirit upon all mankind, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy [telling forth the divine counsels] and your young men shall see visions (DIVINELY GRANTED APPEARANCES), and your old men shall dream [[c]divinely suggested] dreams."

See, it is in the Bible: DIVINELY GRANTED APPEARANCES... Very Catholic, isn't it?

Finally, here is the Biblical passage for the Apparition of Mary:

7. Revelation 12: 1 [KJV] "And there APPEARED a great wonder in heaven; a WOMAN CLOTHED WITH THE SUN, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a CROWN OF TWELVE STARS."

Almost every apparitions of Mary gives almost exactly the same description as this passage whether in Tepeyac in Mexico, Lourdes in France or Cova da Iria in Fatima, Portugal.
