    A like in advance. Fr. Robert Spitzer is the man that made me reach to the very border of reason, at a point where my "jump of faith" to Christ was and is full of knowledge for a higher good. I can even dare to say that my faith is so solid I can evangelize whose around me with no fear, but not throught just speaking of the Word to anyone, but by enacting it and giving reason on why I do somethings and why I don't do something clearly. My example may led people to search to grow in Reason and Faith as Father Spitzer has done it to me in a marvellous way.

      Jung said The Holy Trinity is incomplete and needs the devil added to it. His blasphemous thoughts are without boundaries but he cleverly hides his hatred of Christ by using His name in vain in his writings. But when one studies them, they see how blasphemous this highly influential person actually was. This is the basis of his psychological theories that almost the entire world uses now as a first aid in troubles. He also taught all his disciples that the Age Of Christ is over and he initiated A New Age. This is the basis for psychology: to remove God and Jesus and the Church from society. This is what he wrote to atheist psychologist Sigmund Freud: "But 2000 years of Christianity can only be replaced by something equivalent. An ethical fraternity, with its mythical Nothing, not infused by any archaic-infantile driving force, is a pure vacuum and can never evoke in man the slightest trace of that age old animal power which drives the migrating bird across the sea and without which no irresistible mass movement can come into being… we must give it time to infiltrate into people from many centres, to revivify among intellectuals a feeling for symbol and myth…to transform Christ back into the soothsaying god of the vine, which he was, and in this way absorb those ecstatic instinctual forces of Christianity for the one purpose of making the cult and the sacred myth what they once were - a drunken feast of joy where man regained the ethos and holiness of an animal… A genuine and proper ethical development cannot abandon Christianity but must grow up within it, must bring to fruition its hymn of love, the agony and ecstasy over the dying and resurgent god, the mystic power of the wine, the awesome anthropophagy of the Last Supper - only this ethical development can serve the vital forces of religion…” All of psychology is based on these kind of people. Until this day Carl Jung inspires people to become a medium, create their own reality, Gods, etc. He wore a crowned snake on a gnostic ring on his finger. He worships the snake of the garden of Eden, he deceptively promises people that they could be like God. They only talk about The Self, which is God in their eyes. Self-worship is what psychology teaches. And guess where most people now find solace? Psychology. Their war on Christ was highly successful. It's time to fight back!

    Thank you for sharing this lecture. During Covid my sister and I did home hospice for her husband. She had a ring camera in his room. The night before he passed, we kept a vigil, but dozed off We checked the camera to see if we missed that he was in distress. We were shocked to see, that when I covered his face, the camera went blue and there appeared to be static electricity in the room; a large round orb came from his covers. There were also small orbs circling around the room. After his body was removed, these orbs stayed active until about a year ago. I have a video showing her little dog barking at these orbs and one with a life sized form passing across the room. Your lecture about the existence of a soul, prompted me to share this experience. I don't know what this is, but it changed me. My brother in law was not religious so this phenomenon, I believe, is not exclusive to him. We just happened to capture his passing on camera.

    No matter how much proof the non believers find, to test and reject God to fit their puny human understanding, this God also revealed to humans (thru the Catholic church).
    Matthew 7:13-14
    “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.
    This God showed everyone the way, but He never said everyone is coming to eternity with him😅
    some are really passionate not to and it is the risk they wish to take without even diving deep in the 2k+ years of God's teachings in the Catholic church.😢

    That's the first time I've heard the monkey typing Shakespeare analogy. I read a quote from one astrophysicist who compared the fine tuning of the Universe to covering North America with playing cards four feet deep and picking the marked card out on the first try. He said anyone openly dismissing the possibility of intelligent design is just flat out being intellectually dishonest, and he admitted that he was an atheist. I wish I could recall the source and cite the man properly but I read that a while ago and my memory lacks the necessary fine tuning to pull it out of the LTM databank. But it was one of those statements that stayed with me.

    If God is unarguably the most important issue in all our lives and you don't know God is the creator of the creation is because the cult wants you ignorant believing in the impossible to hurt you. The information is manipulated to deceive you. Atheism is a logical fallacy that assumes God is the religious idea of the creator of the creation to conclude wrongly no creator exists because a particular idea of God doesn’t exist. The atheist logical fallacy would test your IQ and honesty and the error in reasoning is easy to understand being honest and impossible lying to oneself. Innocent and vulnerable children would be good judges and would understand who wants to deceive and hurt them. The question "does God exist?" means "did an intelligence created the creation?" and the right answer is always God is eternal because nothing can be created from nothing. It is impossible the existence of the creation without the creator therefore a reality of an infinite nature or eternal exists. The creation is what has a beginning of existence or is not eternal, like for example yourself or the universe, that is a reality of a finite nature, beginning and end, birth and death, causes and effects, transforming. Atheism is blind faith in the impossible, the belief inmune to arguments that all reality is the universe. The proof that atheism is a logical fallacy is that atheists ask to prove that the creator of the creation is God, when God is whatever created the creation by definition! The saddest I can say is that I have lived long enough to know Nobel Prizes are given to friends and family and people don't care. To end the war in Ukraine the discovery that atheism is a logical fallacy has to be news. Atheists would not be able to prove their own existence to themselves if the logical conclusion is that God exists and lose their children believing without questions asked that gambling causes a brain disease, and when they are told they don't care. To find the truth and God only to think for oneself is necessary. To think for oneself is the opposite of defending an idea without any arguments.

It betrays an unexamined philosophical bias that has absolutely NO warrant whatsoever in Scripture!

    What is there about “not by works” (Eph 2:8,9) that you don’t understand - reducing Biblical faith (in the Heb 11 sense) to mere (volitional) belief, impugns the fact that God is sovereign over absolutely everything, INCLUDING the righteous standing of man before God!
