Re: Walking the Wet Way
If there is one thing Fatima taught us it is that even a crowd of thousands can succumb to mass hysteria and vouch witness to an event that only one little girl says she saw.
Some of us believers have also learned that we should not be distracted from our prize of the enjoyment of Christ by superstituous and sensational visions.
The Apostle Paul warns us in Colossians:
"Let no one defraud you ... dwelling on things which he has seen, vainly puffed up by his mind set on the flesh." (Col. 2:18)
Visions for visions' sake are not to be quickly and undiscerningly attributed to God, like the Fatima fiasco.
