For 6 yrs I've been warning that @Pontifex isn't the buffoon he appears to be, that his word-salad "mistakes" aren't mistakes & that his goal is to humanize Christ & elevate Satan. Freemasons do this by convincing Christians that there's an epic battle between Satan & God. LIES.
There's no battle between God & Satan. Satan is God's slave, even now. God could obliterate him with a thought. The Logos, Jesus Christ, is God. The battle is between CREATED beings.
She's right. Dark doesn't stand a chance against light. What happens when you go into a dark room & flip the switch? Darkness can't fight back. There's no "battle" between God & Satan. Satan is beneath Him. The fight is between His children & Satan, but the weapon is the light of Christ.
How bright it shines in you, how strong a warrior you are, what kind of weapon you are depends on what kind of vessel you are.
And that all depends on how well you follow the primary Commandment - how completely we love God with all our hearts and with all our soul and with all our minds and with all our strength.
Take the King's words quite literally, and you'll shine like the sun.
God isn't limited. He's very capable of choosing YOUR soul to be conceived when it was, and He did.
You are going to Witness this. You are a part of this.
You are called.
Just empty your vessel. Clean it out, and open the door.
Also ... angels are created beings. I've been ignoring this. I don't know why. But I'm not now, and I still can't stop laughing.
It's literally a war between humility & pride, purity & perversion, self sacrifice & self adoration. Satan, while God's slave & already condemned, has the freedom to try to prove to God that "we're not worth it." The Book of Job is a microcosm of the reality of salvation history.
But Satan's punishment is truly harsh because he knows that he is allowed to torment us only to provide us w/ opportunity to seek humility & salvific grace. God has never been in a "battle" w/ Satan. The entire concept is blasphemous. Satan is an insignificant worm compared to Him.
The Logos became Man to show us how to wage war against evil. He needed to, bc the way to wage war against evil is so counterintuitive & to open the door to the salvific graces of His final sacrifice. But that wasn't waging war v. Satan. That was simply giving us the arsenal.
So now we have Bergoglio continuing, subtly, to diminish & humanize Christ, & elevating Satan. Add the context around his words, & you can always rationalize them. But, you really can't. While Jesus is "Priest, Prophet, King, and Judge" none of these titles are accurate w/out
The underlying premise that He is God. Therefore, the questions are often posed "how can he be the mediator between God & man, if He is God?" "How can he be a prophet, when a prophet proclaims God's will, if He is proclaiming His own will?" These sort of questions helped
Give understanding to the Hypostatic Union & the Trinity - but ONLY bc the underlying premise was always: He is God. That guided the thought. To do otherwise inevitably leads to Arianism, which is basically where Bergoglio is trying to take Christianity, but worse.
And, to be blunt, I think he has shared this goal with some world leaders behind closed doors. Why do you think Jews are allowing him to lead, when they teach that Jesus is boiling in hell in a pot of excrement? Same with the Muslims. They know he hates Christianity, too.
