So wise, so young. Clearly the Spirit of the Lord is with you. You are a blessing to many, you by your existence, give Glory to the Father. Thank you!
I completely disagree.
@@einarabelc5 May I ask why?
JoseitoEdlVodao why
brother Caesey saved my life
Its definently better than hearing militant agressive catholics telling me that I am going to hell for listening to metal or watching horror movies....
@@Marco85111 Those two things do not send you to hell. Whoever told you this is ignorant or plan stupid.
@@Catholic-Redpilled-Spaniard idk anymore
@@Marco85111 Oh, I know. Believe me. Being a radical, militant catholic is a good thing. Church Militant, for example. Greatest catholic channel in the planet. But the things you have heard from people like that are bullshit. Listening to metal? What is wrong with that? So long as the music is not blasphemous. Watching horror movies? Depends on how you take them.
brother Casey did not save your life. It was christ who has spoken through his servants (Casey) that has saved you!
Truth. If you ignore the devil then he has no power over you.
I agree dude
So many catholics focus so much on the devil they become one with him in their fear and worry
I don't think that is true, don't ignore his temptations/lies because if you keep doing that it will sneak up on you. Be vigilant and ready.
That's so dumb is not even funny. That's exactly what Adam and Eve did.
@@einarabelc5 Why do you say that? I am not saying to give into temptations. I know that the devil is predictable and dumb, and how I know that because I pay attention to when he tempts me. The devil you don't know is worse than the one you do. It's dumb to ignore the tactics of our enemy.
….pray always and the devil will stay away..I've wrestled with the evil one all my life but the more I pray,, especially for help from Our Lady, the stronger I've become...believe me, it's worked for me...…….i
The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled, was convincing the world he doesn't exist.
That's a common cliche, but I don't agree. Frankly, I think we give the devil way too much attention and if we chose to never speak of him again that would be fine. The greatest "trick" the devil pulls is not convincing the world that he doesn't exist, but rather encouraging us not to care. Apathy, more than anything else, is the work of the devil.
If one accepts for the sake of argument that Baudelaire was a degenerate who didn't recognize the light of Our Lord in his own life - in and of itself a precarious and simplistic presumption - that doesn't mean that His light didn't radiate ever the more even if His instrument may not have been wholly aware of it, via the prowess of his literary skills at the least.
It can be a convenient omission of the mind to gloss over the many descriptive cautions against the ways and abode of the evil one that Jesus provides His followers in the Gospels, but amidst His myriad and manifold blessings are the reminders that hell is real, and that you do not want to end up there.
When these necessary glimpses of the ravages wrought by our sins come into the culture from those such as Baudelaire, and on down to the present times, the right response is recognizing the warning only as much as required to put our focus back on Jesus.
In short the devil's greatest trick isn't much of a feat - every evil successfully promulgated nevertheless by contrast reveals the vast heavenly rays to be that much more brilliant for those souls disposed to see. The deeper the darkness, the brighter the light that shines forth from it.
TL:DR - Both the saying referenced by the OP and Brother Casey are right. Finding oneself in agreement with Baudelaire's quote is the first step to putting one's focus back where it belongs. No matter the trick, once it's known as such it's rendered moot.
I just recently confessed a huge sin that has bothered me for years and always avoided saying it out loud. It is related to your talk today. When i was young i was living in a bad situation (not a good excuse ever for doing what i did) and needed to move on and I was stupid enough to say that i would bargain with the devil to get me out of here, i meant it. I am devastated over that now but didn't care back then. Please say a prayer for me because Father has said his absolution over me but it still haunts my soul.
God can forgive any sin, however big or awful it feels to us. If you truly regret what you did, and you've gone to confession and received absolution, then your sin should be something that you learn from not feel bad about. Instead of focusing on what you did, how bad it was etc focus on God and his love and mercy. Sometimes the encounter with mercy we experience after a troubling sin can be a powerful step on our journey with God. X
Your guilt has had holding you back to fully accept His grace- forgiveness ...well, as a human you can take it as like this narrative-- a father will always forgive and will continue to love his child and he might be saddened in fleeting moments but will not hold disdain to his child!...( Conversely, you might consider this - that you exude gracefulness in handling your dire situation then because this had undeniably lead you closer to Him!)
Our Father has already forgiven you, now go and sin no more!
First off the devil can’t OWN your soul or anyones soul. God is the only one who can send to hell. Hell is not Satans to rule in fact just like all condemned to hell he also is condemned. God is the most powerful and he and only he has the power to send anyone to hell.. your soul belongs to God in the first place you can’t bargain a deal with something that technically isn’t yours? All souls are made by God and therefore belong to God.
Father we know you are a most loving God concerned with our minds and our convictions. You know that not everything we say we mean and that some things that fall off our tongues are not from our hearts. You examine our hearts and by this we know your judgement is just. And we can trust you will have mercy on those who act in true ignorance. You are always willing to forgive any sin to those who’s hearts are truly repentant. Amen
I don't know why the devil thinks he's even capable as being in the same league with God. God created the whole universe and the devil couldn't even win a fiddling contest with a guy from Georgia haha. Seriously though, needed to hear this today. Awesome video!
Frr
Great tune. "I told you once you son of a gun, I'm the best there's ever been!"
As I've experience, the more I put my attention to God the more temptation blocks my way. But very thankful I overcome them. thank for the video brother Casey, God bless, inspire more people.
Needed to hear this today. Thank you!
This was a much needed message for me - thank you !
Isn’t it funny how Mega Churches do this same thing. “For only $20 a month, God will give you [fill in the blank].” Actually, God paid the price for anything you need and you never have to give some “Pastor” your money for it. As I’ve said before, I’m not Catholic, but you speak more truth and anyone I’ve heard Bro. Casey!
If there is a "church" that forces you to give money then it´s a rippoff people donate to catholic church because they like what it does and want to sustain it. They give how much they want when they want. You can live life without ever giving anything but why would you do that when you use the buildings and stuff.
God bless You! May the holy spirit always be with You and inspire for more of this great yet easy explanations of things we are afraid to admit. Glory to the Lord!
Wealth without work? We have to pick up our cross and follow him
Very true that we must keep our eyes on God 💖🙏🌈😇
Sadly the bad has to exist so we choose the right direction, God is amazingly wise, so much in His plan even the Devil appears. Like you say, we do not have to fall for his tricks.... Keep talking about this things, it makes people think and see the light. Make a crack in people's heart so the light of God can get in. God bless us all, specially you Fr. C.
Muchas gracias fr Casey!!!🙏🏼💯💯
Thank you Father Casey for this wonderful video.
Thank u 4 opening an important door of spiritual awareness. Most of us fall in2 temptation bcos of lack of this insight. God bls u & keep u well Fr.
You are a wonderful inspiration and vehicle for God's peace.
Thank you.
That was the most precise and logical description I have heard of dealing with the Devil.Thank you Brother.
You are very wise and thank you for the upload 👍🏽 god bless..
Thank you, Father Casey! I'm watching your videos in preparation for Lent.
:)
Yooooooo I cry a littler bit :(.... This is one of my favority channel in youtube keep up the "Good Work!"
Amen !!!
God bless you !!!!!
Mind blown 🤯
Thank you. Wonderful perspective.
That really helped me. Thankyou Casey. The only thing I would say is be careful the devil is full of wisdom and perfect in beauty and a creator of music. He is no fool. He knows God personally he was the anointed cherub who covered God's throne and was blameless legally. He knows God's standard of perfection since he was the seal of perfection! I've prayed for you and your protection.
Yes Priest,,,... insane spirit affecting innocents, their devil arts be crashed,,, in Jesus's name amen"🙏.
kawaii dseka
The Devil was once an Angel named Lucifer who had everything, but gave it up when he wanted to be God himself (Isaiah 14:12-15).
Good for you Father do not give the time
We have God Amen
Amen
Great topic, and a great reminder. Thank you for the video.
What Armor and Strength have given me GOD through the simple words that he put in the mouth of this young Priest!
!GLORY TO GOD!
Thank you Fr Casey..
7:45 Yes sir, Freudian Slip Theory, Liar, Life, Lol, 🦄👼🏿👼🦅
Amen, brother!
Ameeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen.
Fr. Casey God bless you.
I thank you for A New Perspective on that idea
It is important to your enemy and put on the armour of God.
I agree with most of what you said and it was very interesting. I am not one that thinks we should dwell on the devil, but it is good to meditate on hell every once and a while because we should know what we are truly getting when we sin. Even Our Lady Of Fatima showed the seers hell so they may grow in their faith, and not lukewarm. Thanks brother Casey again for an other good video!! May God Bless you ministry of the priesthood.
Truth Fr. Casey! evil has no substance Satan perverts the good
I agree to most of what I heard, but the devil is not a fool, be vigilant and say your Rosary and Divine mercy everyday.
This videooooo! This channel. 🙏😊 Helps me a lot in my spiritual life!
Great insight. Thank you.
Amen...
the devi is fool
in a few words from a famous when he offers me something meh "I am... disgusted" lol. Great video Casey!
The devil is very clever, we can't deny it. It's said that he was the greatest angel before his fall. If he was one of the first creatures ever created, then he had a "eternity" to get more intelligent than all of us together. It's his nature that obligates him to tempt us with these "foolish" resources that God allows him to use. But of course it's not our cognitive capacity that makes us saints, but our connection with the love of God, fixing our eyes on God like P. Caesey said and saying YES to Him like Mary did. 🙏
I think this helps, thank you
A great and necessary lecture!
Amen. 🙏❣️
When you have a thought or feeling something bad is going to happen to myself or my loved one how can I tell if it’s the devil trying to scare me or tHe Heavenly Father trying to worn me about something? How can I put the devil in his place and tell him to go away and leave me alone?
So right Father o f m
Big question: Why does the devil tempt us in the first place? I see it can't get anything in return, a total lose-lose?
I mean, they first fight for political power with God to rule the world, right. How come that political war some how turn into a justice war????
What is your take on watching horror movies such as the exorcist?
I think it depends on the person. There are people out there with a strong sensitivity to evil and the occult, and spending time watching movies like these can be very damaging. For others, it can simply be entertaining. I'm not a fan of making any sort of general rule for censorship, as I think art can affect different people in different ways.
I would not call the devil's games stupid.. He is very cunning.
Eph 6.11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.
Jude 1.9
But even Michael, one of the mightiest of the angels, did not dare accuse the devil of blasphemy, but simply said, “The Lord rebuke you!” (This took place when Michael was arguing with the devil about Moses’ body.)
1 Peter 5. 8-9
Be sober-minded and alert. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. 9Resist him, standing firm in your faith and in the knowledge that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kinds of suffering.
Mark 13.22 For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.
Alot of deception from Satan, the angel of light...
Jesus referred to him as “the ruler of this world” (John 12:31), and Paul calls him “the prince of the power of the air” (Ephesians 2:2) and “the god of this world” (2 Corinthians 4:4). John makes a further distinction when he says: “We know that we are of God, and the whole world is in the power of the evil one” (1 John 5:19).
At times I read my Bible then find myself doing something else the next minute. Iv been a target for the devil way too long . I want to be free . Free of fear , hate, grudges, frustration, anxiety attacks the list goes on. How can I be free of these things and put the devil in his place ? What is your opinion brother Casey ?
I'm sorry, but I can hardly answer that question for you. Each person is different. To answer this question, I would need to spend a lot of time with you in spiritual direction to get to know you, hear your whole story, understand what you've tried, and test out a few things. Have you ever spoken with a spiritual director?
Matthew 6:1 NIV "Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.". It means don't go around doing what you're doing basically.
Thank you for the gracious opportunity to respond. I pray your ministry will be very fruitful.
Yet refusal to discuss Satan strikes me to be as wise as army commanders refusing to discuss what the enemy is up to. Thank God for holy scripture that gives us insight into how the devil works (II Corinthians 2:11 & Ephesians 6:11): his accusations (Rev. 12:10); his false wisdom (James 3:15); instigating strange tests (Job 1:6-12 & 2:1-7); his eagerness with God's permission to deceive those who love deception (II Chronicles 18:19 & II Thessalonians 2:11); his adding words/phrases to scripture (Matthew 4:6); Satan posing as an angel of light (II Cor. 11:14) and some 20+ other scripture passages.
When I pray for wisdom, I often ask for understanding of how to defeat the power of Satan in my life, and thankfully, God has answered those prayers. Here's fundamental trick to watch out for: Satan can easily deceive us through other religious people like myself with good intentions, but never through the Words of Christ and Sacred Scripture himself taken in the right Spirit. In short, always be careful to trust Christ and not man (Jeremiah 5:13). The CCC was written by the Spirit of God using hundreds if bishops, not one single man. One needs the CCC to understand scripture. Don't neglect it.
Hope there are more young men for vocation, praying that they may choose God rather than this earthly things that it could ruin our souls.
2:26 the devil is right I earned my money
Know your enemy, be as wise as a serpent! May God protect you from the Lavender mafia
In regards to the lemon juice I prefer it but I get the analogy but I would drink lemon juice all the time if I could I love sour tasting things like crybaby candy and warheads
But I think that's exactly the point, right? You think you want it, but if you drink it over fresh water you might enjoy it at first but you're going to suffer in the long run: lemon juice will erode your stomach and will not actually hydrate you.
I never thought of it like you just earned my respect which is very hard to obtain keep up the awesome videos and by the way when it comes to the RCIA how long can I stay in inquiry
The RCIA is not something that has a set time limit or requirement. The purpose is to reach readiness. If someone is not ready to move on, they are not going to be forced to.
This is nice but it would have been nicer if you also mentioned his role as a test for some saints.
Yeah, I don't get why people are afraid of the Devil. He can't even touch you if you have faith in the Lord. I mean, he is called the Father of Lies; why would you believe anything he says.
The problem is when people fail to acknowledge his existence. Then you don't even know you are being played and can't recognize the obvious tricks.
Great video as usual brother cassey but i got a question. If the devil can not touch us but how come kids can be possesses by evil spirit .
I searched foolish devil to get a youtube name but I got this
I would love to talk to you sometime man
Philip said, “Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us.” John 14:8 If God is all you have, you have all you need.
Gotta disagree with you in this one Father. Evil is smart, and insidious. The worst kind of evil comes in the guise of good, and says "you're good, but those people, over there, are wicked and bad and you have not only the right, but the obligation, to subdue them." That's when evil takes control, and catastrophe results: discrimination, slavery, the Holocaust, Stalin's purges, and the list goes on and on. I respect evil. I really do. And yet injustice needs to be confronted and stood up to, but it's hard to oppose evil without becoming evil oneself. As the sister in Doubt said, in fighting evil one sometimes has to step away from God, but there is a price.
Jude 1:9 NASBS
[9] But Michael the archangel, when he disputed with the devil and argued about the body of Moses, did not dare pronounce against him a railing judgment, but said, "The Lord rebuke you!"
I’d be careful to write a title like this video.
You are correct of course in the final analysis, but on the other hand Catholics do know to look past the headlines
Does Catholicism have an explanation for where the devil came from?
Well..he was an Angel that rebelled against God
I agree with much of what you say but I would not call the Devil a fool in this sense. Yes he was a fool to rebel and his gifts are cheap and worthless but hes wise in his understanding of humans hes watched us since the beginning and knows exactly when and where to strike at the vulnerable to make it sound like a deal to good to be true. He will give you everything you want and all he wants is a piddling little thing you don't really care about it's foolishness of course but in the right m oment of weakness. Well Peter denied Jesus thrice didnt he and if the stories are true St Theophilus the penitent sold his soul for a role he had already turned down. When we are strong it's easier to resist Satan, although he is very clever, but he doesnt focus on the strong. I'm reminded of a quote from Catholic demonologist Ed Warren "the devil isnt a damned fool hes a damned angel and if you let him he will make a damned fool of you." I agree cleaving to Jesus is the defense but discernment matters there as well there are false prophets active in the world today who claim and truly believe that they are buying that private jet rather then building a promised hospital for the greater glory of God.
I do not think the video is entirely wrong. You make some great points. But for people who have been spiritually wounded by the devil mostly in part to they way they lived their lives, cultivating sinful habits, knowingly or unknowingly, it is not that easy to just state the devil is a fool and move on. There were times in my life where I thought I was going on the right path but was actually not growing in virtue at all. My pride would tell me I was doing all the right things but it was a lie. The devil is by leaps and bounds more intelligent and cunning than we are. Given the right circumstances He can make you think your doing the right thing when you not.
As you said prayer (faith) and practicing living virtuous lives (works)are some main defenses. I just would not recommend ignoring the devil. We must be vigilant, always aware that he is lurking but not obsessing over it or taking him lightly. How did the saints who were attacked by satan deal with it. They could not just say your a fool and all will be good. They had to prepare, be disciplined and fight.
I guess my point is lets not fall into the presumption that all the will be well . Ignoring something does not make it go away.
The Devil is no fool. The Devil challanges you. If you face the bastard....you'll win!!!! Have a LITTLE MORE FAITH.....in yourself. God lives IN you. There is a moment of light when the sperm cell meets the ovum within the womb at the moment of conception. It's called The Zinc Spark. THAT......IS GOD IN YOU!!!!! You were created in a ray of perfect light. Never forget that. You were made of pure love. Never forget that. But please.....don't underestimate the Devil.....He is NO FOOL!!!! Thank you so much for posting. Much love to you and everyone here. Xoxoxoxo

Speak of the devil! (Jokes aside, good video)
What are your views on "Violent Video games"?
Why don’t you have the Franciscan hair cut
didnt the heavenly father create the devil ? , an old quote if its too good to be true ,it not
If the devil is bad and will hinder us in knowing and loving God, why would God allow his existence? Why would God allow temptations that most of us helplessly fall for, that, even seasoned holy men like priests and bishops succumb to? God knew that we are very weak, but why would He allow it? No one can match God’s power, it is wrong to believe that the devil is competing with God for eternity.
Everything is God's kingdom including this material world. But this is a part of His kingdom where wayward spirit souls like us live. The devil is really God’s servant tasked to carry his mandate in this part of His kingdom - to delude us because that’s what we want. We fell from grace from His spiritual kingdom because we didn’t want to obey Him. God has given us this (educational/correctional) world to learn. The devil put us in the illusion that we are our bodies and our enjoyment is gratifying our senses. The devil is just helping us and providing what we want. God covered our knowledge and love for Him because we rejected Him.
That love needs to be reawakened and nurtured again, through Jesus’ first and foremost commandment. It cannot just believe and have faith, we need to actively develop that love like how we develop the love for the person we like in this world. That’s how we relinquish the devils influence on us. The devil will walk away in shame, like Jesus shamed him repeatedly. Unalloyed devotion to God.
That’s how material enjoyment becomes shallow and tasteless, because loving God means feeling of overflowing transcendental happiness. If we have been practicing religiosity all our life and yet our attraction for the world is still strong as ever, we haven’t had a change of heart and we still gratify our senses, exploit people and children, then, we have failed in our practice. We have failed Jesus and God.
In the Vedas (book of knowledge written 5000 years ago), the devil is called Maya - illusion personified. She is a servant of God and tasked to tempt us and grant our material desires for enjoyment. Illusion is the predominating energy that governs the world. In the spiritual kingdom of God, the predominating energy is love. There is no question of illusion. But, we still have our free will. That’s the nature of love - out of free will and not by force.
Jesus was tempted by the devil but Jesus shows how a pure devotee of God behaves. He was already in the highest platform of spirituality, feeling an overwhelming love for God that nothing material enjoyment can match and tempted him to give up God. Unlike many of us, we give in immediately even to a slight temptation. Why? Because we want to satisfy that innate feeling of “to love and be loved”, to enjoy and be happy.
But because we are away from God and we think we are the body, we think we will be happy by fulfilling the body’s desires. But, this inherent feeling of love is our natural loving relationship with God that we misplaced in the forms of this world. Jesus came to teach us that, by his first and foremost commandment. Sadly, not many of us pay attention to that and we get sidetracked with so many unnecessary, misinterpreted, and oftentimes invented method.
Not many teaches it properly the way Jesus wanted to.
“Teacher, which commandment is the greatest in the Law?” Jesus declared, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with your entire mind.” This is the first and greatest commandment.” - Matthew 22:37-38. This is the process.
“But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh, for these are opposed to each other, to
keep you from doing the things you want to do.” - Galatians 5:16-17
“We know that while we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord. Yes, we are of good courage, and we would rather be away from the body and at home with the Lord.”- Corinthians 5:6-8. We are spirit soul distinct from material body.
“The soul must wholly lose all human knowledge and all human feelings, in order to receive in fullness divine knowledge and divine feelings.” - St. John of the Cross…. Material feelings like passing sentiments is totally different from transcendental love for God. They are not comparable.
“Flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor can the perishable inherit the imperishable.”-1 Corinthians 15:50. …We are eternal spirits, not flesh and blood.
“Outside of God, nothing has any existence at all.”- St. Veronica Giuliani….
This guy is a genius he must have an iq above 130
His iq is so high it reaches heaven.
Did Satan realize who Jesus actually was when he was tempting him? This highly confuses me. If he knew Jesus was God, he would’ve known that his attempts were futile. If Jesus would’ve given in to the temptation, how would that work, would the Trinity somehow be split?
I think it points to the fact that Jesus had to be tempted just like us to know what our human experience is like. Could Jesus, who is God, truly deny himself? Probably not. But his humanity could experience the pain and hurt that the devil's temptations can cause, offering a perfected example of what humanity could look like.
That makes sense. He came in human form and experienced both our physical pain and the mental pain of temptation. I’ve been wondering about that for a long time. Thank you very much, it finally makes sense to me now.
I thought about this for a while and I think it reveals to us Satan's arrogance, that he was so proud and arrogant he actually tried to tempt God by quoting scripture! He tried to tempt God using Gods word! It also for me anyways reveals how Satan will use Gods word to get us to sin (like protestants who follow a twisted interpretation of scripture think they're following God yet they're still sinning)
Paryer open heaven everyone Jesus saves
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
be careful. Devil is not stupid. This is very intelligent creature. he is less powerful than God, of course, but more clever than you are. I like books from Vella (ofm conv :) and Amorth, both are exorcists. Boring theme, I think, and it isn't good to be fascinated and in fear, but sometimes people are very surprised to laughing about demons and then to meet one
Are you intersted in canon law?
No, not really. Why do you ask?
I started watching you one year ago, and I am just wondering if you speak ever about law. The law is also part of church. I am a physicist I received PhD one year ago, and I am also a catholic :) I started learn about theology (I am not a student of theology but I attendent lectures on The Pope faculty , I am interested in dogmatic, history of church and canon law. I understand u graduated from theology faculty, could you tell about your master thesis - title ? I am intersted in what part of theology is the most interesting for you - I mean - what kind of subject on theology study do you prefer.
Oh, okay. Well I am a seminarian, not a faculty member of theology. I do not have an academic theological degree, nor have I written a thesis. In two months I will graduate with my M.Div., a pastoral degree in theology that priests are generally required to obtain.
Good Luck ! I engarege you to take challenge to start doing PhD in theology in the future. I go sleep, in poland is now 3 am. Thx for attention.
Hate manpition tooth
Post haec reserata tibi sunt sancta sanctorum, ingressus es regenerationis sacrarium: repete quid interrogatus sis, recognosce quid responderis. Renuntiasti diabolo et operibus ejus, mundo et luxuriae ejus ac voluptatibus. Tenetur vox tua, non in tumulo mortuorum, sed in libro viventium. Ut benedicat tibi Iesu.
You and me both. Wish the Sisters without Mercy at my boarding school agreed with us. Mind you, the devil could have tempted my 7yr old self with a good home-cooked meal and a few words of love.
Will the Devil be saved, in the end, according to the Church?
Drăcea Dan-Adrian to my understanding, none of the fallen angels can be saved
Read Revelation Chapter 19.
I was under the impression that at least in traditional Christianity the devil is more of a figurative evil then an actual entity, its not like a rival deity but more a state of being. You know things like "the devil makes work of idle hands" etc. I thought the devil was supposed to be viewed more so as the archetypal representation of the darker sides of the inner human psyche as opposed to like a literally evil consciousness, err... like a force of nature that is manifested by the fact that humanity is imbued with free will... you get what im saying, am I wrong?
@Harry Peach - Yes, the devil is all of what you mentioned... and also an actual entity.
Throughout Scripture, there is an actual being that tempts or challenges humanity. Jesus speaks of this being. He is not "evil incarnate" or an opposing deity, but simply a being so filled with pride that he fell from grace. Some have suggested that such a being is more archetypal than literal, but as I have suggested in this video, I don't care enough about the Devil (literal or archetypal) to dignify him with an actual answer to that question. Maybe he's a literal being? Maybe he's a manifestation of our own evil? I honestly have no time or room in my theology to give him any attention. As I said, I'd rather focus my attention on Jesus.
@@BreakingInTheHabit what is your opinion on exorcism/exorcists if the devil and demons aren't literal beings?
@@snoopdog3771 I didn't say that the devil or demons aren't literal beings. I recognized what scripture says about them, and simply said it's not worth my attention to have an opinion of them.
@@BreakingInTheHabit ok 👍
Is the Devil beyond salvation?
No being is outside of God's grace. All beings were created by God, and so have at least some goodness to them, and God can only will what is good. I can't imagine how God could will anything but a desire for reconciliation and anger at arrogance. If Satan had repentance and sought God's mercy, I don't see how God could possibly deny it.
I have read that because Satan and the devils (who were former angels themselves) are pure spirit and are therefore not bound by time and space. The decision they made in the beginning- disobeying God, made them unforgivable because they were very well aware of the eternal consequences their actions would have caused. As opposed to human beings where we are finite and limited in time and space, we are still by God's grace given the chance for repentance and reconciliation to Him.
Please correct me if my understanding of this is wrong. God bless 🙏
@@BreakingInTheHabit The devil and his demons are outside of salvation because the damnation that they suffer is eternal. They have made their decision and it is locked for all of eternity. The devil and his demons are outside of God's mercy because they chose to be there. Hell is eternal and God cannot take anyone out of Hell. This is Church teaching.
@@BreakingInTheHabit I agree with you Fr. C. Yesterday we were just talking about that, God is our loving father, He will do anything to have all His sheep around him. It's matter of choosing .... Could you imagine if we could make a crack in the Devil's heart... The light could go in there. No more wars, just love .... Everywhere.... God bless us all.
Br. Casey is right in that God can do whatever He wants to do, I think the more accurate question might be would the devil want to be saved which looking at his track record I would say no.
No one would drink a glass of lemon juice instead of fresh water? Speak for yourself, brother! :D
I know, I'm weird.
Haha I think Brother was making of comparison of choosing between a tiny glass of lemon juice and a gallon of water, if you were in a desert.
I think he means sour lemon juice without added water and sugar, sweetened one is called lemonade according to my humble English 😅.
@@newstart1983 OH YES. That totally makes sense too haha
No I haven’t spoken to a spiritual director before. I think o sent you my testimony to your website breaking in the habit . I still send you emails every now and then through breaking in the habit website.
Oh, I see. I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I cannot offer you spiritual direction through email. If you left is as a comment on the website, I unfortunately did not get it.
Can you elaborate on your point of God offering us these thing for free? He still demands our obedience and worship in return for His promises, does He not? After all, in order to achieve salvation we must follow Jesus, so it's still kind of a transaction. Maybe I'm confused about exactly what you mean by "free." Great message, though.
It's very important how we word this. We cannot "achieve" our salvation. Nothing we can ever do will ever "win" this from God or earn it above others. Salvation is truly only a free gift from God, something that we do not earn or merit.
The way I would put it is that salvation is free, but there is a cost to discipleship. Jesus gives it to us without caring who we are or what we've done. It is 100% free. But in order to accept it, in order to live in it, we might have to leave behind some things that get in the way.
Analogously, Jesus buys the ticket, but we still have to leave behind our old life, family, job, etc. and actually get on the train. We've paid nothing, but it required something on our part to accept the gift.
Why did Jesus speak on hell so much. Why did so many saints speak about he'll and the devil so much. With all respect you are wrong. the church has lost her way because no one fears God anymore. Preach the truth and say souls open your eyes to all the confusion in the church and speak the truth about it is better to lose all wealth family and friends than offend my lord
Do you worship your temptation?
I'm sorry, I don't know what that means. I'm going to go with no.
What is it you desire most?
Communion with the Trinity in heaven. Why?
I can't think of a thought more magnificent. Why doesn't that count as a temptation?
@@ddrse this reminds me of the show Lucifer it's gud show , 9.5/10 Recommend
Brother Casey can Jesus forgive Satan ?
No being is outside of God's grace. All beings were created by God, and so have at least some goodness to them, and God can only will what is good. I can't imagine how God could will anything but a desire for reconciliation and anger at arrogance. If Satan had repentance and sought God's mercy, I don't see how God could possibly deny it.
@@BreakingInTheHabit Beautifully put. Thank you for your channel! So much good is coming from your witness. AMDG
@@BreakingInTheHabit Sorry Brother but again you're wrong and teaching things that are misleading. Satan cannot choose to repent because no souls in Heaven can choose to repent. Their decision to be separated from God is for all eternity.
@@Diffman731 Except that, as I understand this, Satan is not in Heaven. As far as I know, he and his followers are somewhat schizmatic and he doesn't care about God or His law & realm. Some exorcists have reported "small talks" in which demons admit that the "establishment" of Hell was their idea. To conclude it, Satan wanted a private villa, so he 'gave them hell' ... and went on to build one.
With a few others, so he won't be bored.
I don't know whether or not he (and all the demons) can repent. But I love the 'Parable of the Prodigal Son' and I have no doubt that God would 'rush towards him with utmost happiness' in such a case. We must be humble with these statements, because we don't have a clue who is or is not "a lost cause". The mere existence of free will makes this option possible, however these realities are still unknown to us.
Satan is like the brother who is dead and lost. He left God's Presence, and that means to die; and he left God's Word, and that means to become lost.
We call the realm in which he now dwells "the hell". Just a reminder, in old Hebrew, the word that later on became "the hell", meant - a grave. So simple. Per his decision(s), Satan had fallen into his own demise and death.
And God Himself - and thus, the Bible - is (almost) silent about these realms. The hints that are in the NT are true and cannot be avoided in his actual state. Same for us. I have no doubt about that, either. However, do we know what it means ?
As l understand it, satan offered Jesus all the power and all the glory and all the wealth in all the kingdoms in all the world. Jesus said, "No thanks, my Father has a better deal."
There are those that say, "You know, satan, Jesus turned you down but it sounds like a good deal to me. I'll accept your offer." Those people are the jews.
I don't think it's fair to say that it is only a single group of people who have taken that deal. All of humanity falls to that temptation in one way or another.
Wisdom ✝️
"I know! I'll try to tempt the literal son of God! He'll certainly fall for it!"
Good one!
