Arlington woman finds Virgin Mary image on a rotting grape

by PegNews wire

Arlington resident Becky Ginn is a practicing Baptist, so perhaps the image of the Virgin Mary she found on one of the rotting grapes she was preparing to throw out means something different to her than if she had been a devout Catholic.

Regardless, she thinks it's a pretty clear representation, and she's considering putting the holy fruit up for bid on eBay. With the money thus obtained going to her church.

The (formerly) rotting grape is now in Becky's freezer, where it will rot no more - at least for a while. Here's a blog post showing the image in question.

Very spiritual indeed and the first I've seen on a fruit. I'm glad to see more Virgin Mary's are found on more healthful treats instead of grilled cheese sandwiches.

My dog left something on the lawn this morning that looked like the virgin mary!

Why do people worship Mary? To do so is idolatry. She was just a woman that was obedient to God. She is not diety. It's just one of many lies that the Catholic Church has used to deceive billions of people. Jesus didn't say, "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me and my mom!" Only Jesus saves!

Vatrujillo: Isn't she a saint? As I understand Catholicism, saints are like the Customer Service Representatives of Heaven, listening to complaints and passing them up the chain o' command.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

on that note, why is the pope "so holy" ... he's sinned just like the rest of us.

Pavel Lishin: Catholics call Mary a co-redemptress along with Jesus Christ which is blasphemy. They also claim that she was also immaculately conceived and that she never died...none of which is in the Bible. Praying to someone who is not God is idolatry. The 2nd commandment in the 10 commandments clearly says (Exodus 20:4-6..."4 You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. 5 You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, 6 but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments."

Also, a saint means anyone who is set apart by God, because he is saved by his faith in Jesus Christ through the grace of God. Catholicism has perverted the meaning of the word saint.

and there is only one "Customer Service Rep" in Heaven lol...

1 Timothy2:5-6 "For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all men"

In the real realm and not the spiritual realm, or from a common sense perspective; it looks like she had an affair with someone other than Joseph. Never admitted to it so they accepted it as god’s will. This day and age it would be solved with DNA. Anyway, that is a rotting grape. What deity wants to appear on rotting fruit? I think it suits her because she had rotting morals.
