A Comparison of Marian Apparition Messages and the Bible

A Reader from Michigan | Michigan USA | 02/14/2006

(4 out of 5 stars)

"I gave the DVD 4 stars because it's a unique visual resource addressing the paranormal phenomenon of contemporary, worldwide Marian apparitions. The first section of the DVD alternates between: 1) reinactments and first-hand interviews with observers of and believers in these apparitions and 2) observers who offer a more skeptical view of the apparitions. Some original footage from events at apparition sites also appears.

An interesting, but seemingly less relevant, mid-section reviews multiple fulfilled prophecies concerning Jesus in the Bible. These fulfilled prophecies confirm the accuracy and reliability of the biblical message and of Jesus' unique identity. The conclusion is that Marian apparitions exhibit no similar confirming authority for their proclamations.

The closing section contrasts specific biblical revelations with reenacted messages and claims made by various Marian apparitions. The main question answered is, "Do the Marian apparitions pass the biblical test for revelation by conforming to biblical truth?"

A bonus 17-minute presentation entitled "The Good Test" is included, which queries people on perceptions of their own goodness and explains the Christian gospel message.

The DVD would be most helpful in giving the viewer a general overview of both sides of the apparition issue. Even a grade school age child will be able to understand and ask questions about much of the presented material. The DVD is produced by Protestants and will probably not be as effective in changing the views of those with positive apparition experiences or those with entrenched mindsets on the apparition issue. However, the DVD provides ample information for the thoughtful viewer to consider when evaluating Marian apparitions."

The Truth about Marion apparitions!

"All Catholics I have known think that these apparitions that are appearing all over the world are the biblical Virgin Mary. In reality they are just another ploy from Satan to drag millions of souls into the depths of Hell.

The bible didn't say that even Satan can appear as an Angel of Light for nothing.

"Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness...(2 Corinthians 11:14,15)

If these followers would just read the Bible they would not be so easily decieved. Narrow is the path, and few that find it."

Thoughtful information on Mary visions & sightings.

"This DVD started slow when setting the stage/background on the subject of religious sightings of Mother Mary. However, the remainder of the film was worth the wait. I do not have a Catholic background and the information in this film was very helpful in how these events relate to sound biblical teachings and theology. This is an exellent film to have in your collection if you consider yourself a bible student."

A Biblical examination of the Marian apparations

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This video powerfully and clearly reveals the biblical truth behind apparitions which are being seen around the world - apparitions which many believe to be "the virgin Mary". This video is troubling at times, but very well done. It was actually better than I thought it would be."
