The bible being my only source....I believe in angels appearing on earth. Paul said we "often" entertain them without being aware of it. (Paraphrased) God sends them to work on our behalf- it's noted throughout the bible, old and new testament. No, I don't believe the apparitions of Mary are real, or rather are her, because she was not "heavenly created" but born of flesh. All flesh dies and remains so until the resurrection. I believe, from scriptures, that Satan's co-horts can imitate the dead and thus fool some to believe they are seeing Mary or even uncle Joe. SO. That's my story and I'ma stickin' to it. :)

But what about the guys and the 3 tents. Am I getting it wrong, or were those 2 also born of flesh? Yet people saw them.

I don't believe in the apparitions of Mary. It's probably just that people really want to see her, so they do.

And then there are the inages of Jesus or Mary in toast and potato chips. rotfl

seem a little far fetched, don't you think...and statues that bleed or cry.
I feel sometimes the presence of my dad, protecting me. In life he was an Angel...so he is my Angel in death, and as Catie says...that's my story and I'm sticking to it. lol
I was always moved by the story of St. Bernadette. I recall as a child, seeing a movie about her and the visions she had...and it has always haunted me. I hope I've got my Saints right. Forgive me if I am mistaken.

Joan, I stated in an earlier post there are 3 who went directly to heaven, two of who were transfigured, by-passed death and went into heaven. Elijay and Enoch. Moses died, but it was before Christ, and Satan fought Michael for his body. God preserved him and took him to heaven. In many ways, Moses life symbolizes, and is somewhat of a metaphor for Christ. Thus God preserved him. To answer your question YES those were born flesh, but had been transfigured, raptured into heaven and are there to this day.
