There has been lots of Miracles coming from the Virigin Mary Statues and also sightings of her as well. Icons such as the Madonna and even Pictures of Jesus Christ Crying Blood.
These have been seen my Millions of people at the same time, in certain parts of the world. I believe that this has to be some kind of message from God that the world is in a lot of trouble and heading for a disaster. Even my Supervisor saw her Aunts Statue of the Blessed Virgin Mother Cry on three different occasions, it was not blood but just tears.
Her Aunt who is the owner never saw her do that, but it was revealed to my supervisor for some reason, and she is a Believer in God, but she is a non-practicing Catholic. Anyway here is a web.site on all of these wonderous things that have been happening all over the world.

Mary's Touch

Beware of extra-Biblical happenings and ideas.

1. Where in the bible does it say to pay attention to weeping statues, and 2. if it's not specific instructions from god, we should ignore it.

I have heard that a smell of roses when there is no reason for it is also supposed to be associated with Mary. I have had that happen to me outdoors in the wintertime (no it wasn't perfume)

Well according to that Web.site that I read, they were coming from God, as they saw an apparation of Mary and Jesus that spoke to the people about Repenting, so it had to be from God, Few People are called to Bear the wounds of Christ, But as the Bible states try the Spirits to see if it is from God or not. Many of the Saints Bored the Stigmata the Wounds of Christ.

Also my Supervisor's Aunt has a Statue of the Blessed Mother Mary, My Supervisor saw that Statue Cry Tears on 3 different occasions, and she wiped the statue at 3 different times. She is not one to make up Stories, also she was terrified and told her aunt she would not go near her statue again, but her Aunt who is the owner never saw her statue due that. I have the Blessed Mother Mary and St.Martha on my Altar, and I would love to see my Statues weep, that would be a Blessed event to see something so Supernatural like that.

One should be very careful with these icons, statues and/or images. Only those that have been fully accepted by the Roman Catholic Church are entitled to receive the worship and devotion of the faithful.
In many cases, they are simply the result of some old traditions or superstitions. For instance, there are hundreds of Catholic Churches and Temples in the whole world who seriously complaint they keep a fragment of the Holy Cross! However, the same Vatican recognizes the fact that ALL these fragments put together would be enough to make not one Cross but several hundreds...
Consequently, while there must obviously be some which are the true ones, the majority are fakes although people do not really care. :)

The bible is very clear when it comes to idols. Just saying...

I of course agree with you!

Just what do these supposed tears add to our knowledge of God? Nothing. We have what He has given and preserved for our code of conduct and revelation of Himself to us. All these occurrences do is to further confuse people's minds and detract from the message that God would have them hear.

Well my father has passed on, but he always said that seeing something like this was a sign revealed by God to that person who saw it, a sort of watershed moment in that person's life. That something important was about to happen to that person. And if this strenghtens their faith somehow I don't see any harm in it. But as for feeling special that they saw it and others didn't, I don't agree with that. That would lead to pride on their part.

Sure statues cry etc. It's another way God shows us that he is everywhere, even in us. This is threatening to those who seek to control God by only approving of certain things.

1 Corinthians 10:14
Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry.

Again I will warn.. the bible is clear when it comes to the topic of idolatry. God laid down the ground rules. Praying to Marry, or any false idol is idolatry.

Tears and some of these beliefs, as I already said, do not add much, if anything, to our knowledge of GOD, as you say.
However, we cannot neglect or ignore other accepted occurrences like the ones in Lourdes or Fatima, or the much more recent in Medjugorje (Citluk, Bosnia y Herzegovina) where for the last 15 years in a row /from June 24th, 1981) The Virgin has been appearing almost on a daily basis to the 6 children, that are now grown up men and women.
Incidentally, ALL the towns and villages surrounding Medjugorje were almost fully destroyed during the war (1992/1995) BUT, for some strange reason, Medjugorje was spared... Not a single shell fell into the town!

It does not matter at all what your denomination may be! The important thing is that you believe in the Scriptures which implies believing in Jesus Christ, as the Son of GOD.
This is what really matters! If you believe in THE WORD and you follow what it says you are on your way to Paradise!

Some denomination they believe in the bible but they don't understand the bible and don't follow what is written in the bible. They bow down in grieven images. Bowing in images is an act of worshipping. In the bible it is wriiten" And Ifell down at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it no: I am thy fellow servant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit od prophecy" Revelation 19:10. Even the angel of Lord St. John don't allow to fell down in feet. Now the other denomination its okey to them to fell down images made of stone or wood.

As I say, the important thing is to follow Jesus' message to us. Which implies complying with the 11 Commandments! That's All

It is my opinion that anything the Lord wants to reveal to us, he did in his WORD.. period. None of these things mean anything to me, nor should they mean anything to a Christian. He has said all he needs to in his WORD. But we being stupid sheep would rather look for some sign... sigh... we are no different than Israel in the Old testament.

By the way, Mary had to be saved too! She was a sinner saved by Grace. Yes she was special because she was our Lord's mother... yet she needed salvation.

Absolutely. Whatever we should know to get Salvation HAS ALREADY BEEN TOLD TO US through OUR LORD'S WORD! ALL THE REST IS ACCESORY, or so I think.
