The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

>Deuteronomy 6:16 - “You shall not put the Lord your God to the test, as you tested him at Massah.

>Isaiah 7:10-14 - Again the Lord spoke to Ahaz: “Ask a sign of the Lord your God; let it be deep as Sheol or high as heaven.” But Ahaz said, “I will not ask, and I will not put the Lord to the test.” And he said, “Hear then, O house of David! Is it too little for you to weary men, that you weary my God also? Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.

>Matthew 16:1-4 - And the Pharisees and Sadducees came, and to test him they asked him to show them a sign from heaven. He answered them, “When it is evening, you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red.’ And in the morning, ‘It will be stormy today, for the sky is red and threatening.’ You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times. An evil and adulterous generation seeks for a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah.” So he left them and departed.

>1 John 4:1-3 - Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world. By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you heard was coming and now is in the world already.

Does the Lord never send signs in the world to people as guidance and comfort? Are all apparent signs really the work of the devil, or of God?

Don't demand signs. Have some healthy skepticism when they do come.

What is the best way to test them?

Test what?

Signs and such, to determine whether they are of God or not. I've been reading scripture and discussion on this subject lately and came across John 4:48-51

>So Jesus said to him, “Unless you see signs and wonders you will not believe.” The official said to him, “Sir, come down before my child dies.” Jesus said to him, “Go; your son will live.” The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him and went on his way. As he was going down, his servants met him and told him that his son was recovering.

and 2 Peter 1:20

>knowing this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture comes from someone’s own interpretation.

and I was wondering what other /christian/ anons think of the occurrence of signs and how to interpret them.

Check their fruits.

And of course in the case of apparitions and such wait for a declaration of the Vatican saying its ok, although you're not forced to agree.
