I was reading scout1's post (yes I was lol), and he kept eluding to CC being a devil. Which got me wondering, is there really a devil, and a band of demons after people's souls?
To myself I find no evidence there is a devil. I accept there is a spirit, God if you will, but I do believe that this spirit and God, however you want to say, is unconcerned and rarely intervenes. I see IB's as interveing though. But I believe most religion to be a part of the FI (actually, close to all of it), and the teachings of a devil were to strike fear into the hearts of the masses. So for those who may or may not believe in a devil, what say you?
Thanks in advance.Yes, definitely. Many, in fact.
And his greatest deception is to make men believe that he doesn't exist.
And dreamways is correct. Belief is over ridden by experience. When you become aware that there are demons, (many of whom live inside of people) they become aware that you are aware of them. It is a frightening experience. But it is no longer a question of belief. But then the belief becomes more important because we are unarmed being "just human" when compared to spiritual beings. But those who are with us are more powerful than those that be against us.
But as human beings we have the potential ability to be in communion with The Spirit which they do not have. That is why they hate us.
My teacher used to say that they do not give human beings that much attention until they begin to make progress spiritually. That is because they have you anyway.
