Its Sunday Evening, when I was watching the Nigerian National TV (NTA), I saw a news which shows the cross (Jesus) bleeding in one of the Biggest Catholic Churches in Nigeria, the place has now turn to a pilgrimage site as many people are going there to see the bleeding cross. One of them who was interviewed by NTA said that Sins is too much in Nigeria, that Christians should reduce their sins.
What do you think is the cause of this?
Is it even true?
Isn't it created by someone for his own personal interest?

There have been a few hoaxes found, but there have been a tremendous amount of documented cases, by which I mean that the situation is investigated by people from different fields of science and they can say yes, it is definitely real and really happening but there is no cause that they can find for it. No manmade cause I mean and none known to nature. For that reason spiritual people often label these things as miracles. When I say these things, what I am saying is that I have seen them documented in the news for over 50 years, crying statues, bleeding statues, bleeding crucifixes and so on. Is it because the sin in Nigeria is too much? Well first of all, I did not see the report so I am not confirming it was reported, all I am saying is that if there is this newest report, it does not surprise me and people will think about it and present a reason why they think it happened. No doubt we have always been intended to think about them, because I do not know of more than 2 or 3 times we were supposedly told by the Divine, why it happened. One of those times I note though, it happened in Lebanon when great fighting was going on there and US troops invaded Granada. Another time was during the Vietnamese War. All of the times were war times. All of the shedding was of blood, so if you were to ask me, I would say God is displeased with all the war and bloodshed so He is dropping little reminders that we are not supposed to kill. Now, in a separate class there were apparations of Mary, mother of Jesus and she said it was because of oncoming war so she was asking people to pray. There were also a few statues of mary that instead of bleeding, shed tears. I suppose this is where you ask me what I think. I think like I told you, it is not because of Nigerian sins. It is a message to every end of the earth that God is not pleased with war. I also think that like a parent tells a child no, numerous times but the child does not listen and gets a slapped hand or such-I think God one day will get tired of how we act and give us some big disasters really, really, big ones for not listening and obeying.

The Catholic church has a history of worthless miracles. Mary shows up on Grilled cheese sandwiches and chocolate.
Why don't they feed people in Nigeria and cure aids.

Apparitions have and will continue to manifest throughout the world. Why the cross?
Satan can and will use any means of deception to LEAD PEOPLE AWAY FROM THE TRUE MEANING OF THE CROSS, FOR EXAMPLE.
If people are led to worship a piece of wood with blood, and not the messiah who shed his blood on it AND ROSE AGAIN, than they are lost.
IT IS A WICKED A PERVERSE GENERATION THAT REQUIERETH A SIGN.
faith comes by hearing, and that of the word of GOD.

Because of those pople, non-believers will more and more disrespect the Christianity. They are like the religion people in Jesus time. Jesus was cruxified for showing their wrongs and telling the truth.
