How God shows evil and uses it as Good - ad docendum

  Omnis Scriptura divinitus inspirata est et utilis ad docendum, ad arguendum, ad corrigendum, ad erudiendum in iustitia All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness (2 Timothy 3:16) Usually, it seems that God's action is not present in history, but this turns out to be true only for those who do not know how to read the structure of God's work, the way He structures his signs. In fact, as Augustine clarifies, God, in this world, let deliberately the devil operate, a wicked essence by his choice (d iabolus voluntate sua malus ), so that good may arise from evil: [Deus] fecit, ut diabolus institutione illius bonus, voluntate sua malus [. ..] id est, ut prosint temptationes eius sanctis, quibus eas obesse desiderat, [God] created the devil good by his order, but wicked essence by his choice, in such a way that his temptations would benefit the saints, with respect to whom [the Saints]...

About those who are looking for the truth and those who are not

  There is a real risk to end up thinking that those who do not seek the truth it is because they are predetermined to act in such a way. But as Saint Augustine makes clear, from the very beginning we are given the possibility to decide. It is up to us, it is in our free will to decide whether to remain in the Good that has been given to us from the beginning or to choose Evil. The choice, obviously, always takes place following certain signs that appear around us, we are immersed in a system of created nature, and through this system, we are interacted, interoperated and connected with the One who set this whole system in motion, in lay terms with the Moment-When-The-System-Originated. In fact, Saint Augustine said [1] naturae competit esse cum Deo : It belongs to nature to be with God. Because sine dubio, ubi est vitium, natura non vitiata praecedit : without a doubt, where there is vice, a non-vitiated nature precedes [1] De Civitate Dei XI, 17

Why are some seeking the truth and others not?

  The man who is not seeking the truth is not seeking it because he was created by a constituent other than the truth, but because he has decided, knowingly or unknowingly, not to remain in the truth, even though he has been allowed to remain in the truth, as Saint Augustine clearly exemplifies it when he is speaking of Evil par excellence: the Devil, or the fallen angel: Ille [Diabolus] homicida erat ab initio et in veritate non stetit... non dixisse Dominum: A veritate alienus fuit; sed: In veritate non stetit, ubi a veritate lapsum intellegi voluit, in qua utique si stetisset, eius particeps factus beatus cum sanctis angelis permaneret (Augustinus, De Civitate Dei, XI, 13) "From the beginning, he [The Devil] was a murderer and did not remain in the truth...the Lord did not say: "It was of another nature than the truth", but: He did not remain in the truth. He wanted to make understand precisely he was ousted of the truth because if he had persevered in it, of which h...

Comment on "A new stage in the conflict between democracy and religion" by Alvydas Jokubaitis (second part) - Devil's strategies

  The article we are going to discuss  is to be found here:  https://m.delfi.lt/uzsakomasis-turinys/pt/article.php?id=90330401 There is also a YouTube video available:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9US3TFvA3uc&t=432s One of Jokubaiti's main leitmotifs is that science, being harnessed by a vision that man can be changed starting from external determinants (Marxist vision: change society and you change man), falsifies reality trying to explain everything (the real world) without considering (putting it aside as no worthy of explanation) the spirituality of the homo interior , God; deliberately forgetting that man gali girdėti sąžinės ir Dievo balsą "man can hear the voice of conscience and God"(cancel Christianity - the obsession of the Masonic elites) as Jokubaitis had written in one previous book of his, Politinis Idiotas ( Political Idiot).  Science has become atheism and atheism consequently science, and finally science has become a perfect vehicle (...

Demons Exist - Some notes on John A. Keel's Book Operation Trojan Horse

    I read John A. Keel's book, OPERATION TROJAN HORSE: The Classic Breakthrough Study of UFOs, a book published in 1970. A text all in all quite boring to read but it contains an overwhelmingly detailed examination of sightings and contacts with UFOs and demonic, angelic entities and miracles that have occurred along with the history of Christianity. The basic thesis, which I am inclined to believe, based on everything that is happening now in the world, is that UFOs are nothing but energetic entities that come from parallel dimensions and that likely have always inhabited the earth, before man originated, as The Forgotten Books of Eden testify . And since man has existed, the primary goal of these entities is to get rid of him and dominate him. In other words, for Keel, aliens are nothing but demons. Obviously, in this world there are also other forces: the power of good, angels, the Madonna and her apparitions. Certainly, for those who have not gone so far as forcibly someo...

What happened after Jesus Christ's death?

Et omnis, qui vivit et credit in me, non morietur in aeternum. Credis hoc? (John 11:26) After he cried out to the universe, there was a big earthquake. 120 tombs opened and 120 dead people resurrected. And darkness fell upon the earth. The sun disappeared, the moon vanished and the stars lost their light and the dark was horrible. The resurrected people were healthy and sound and for 40 days and 40 nights were talking and comforting their families. And among them, there was Saint Simeon, to whom it had been revealed by the Holy Spirit that he would not see death before he had seen Our Lord Jesus Christ. Saint Simeon, the one who circumcised Jesus.  It was him who described to his family the way Jesus Christ visited Hell because he was in Hell. He said: we heard three knocks. It was Our Lord. And he was knocking at the door of Hell. And He wanted the doors open for Him. Although he could, whenever he wanted, open those doors, as a Sovereign. But he was asking, nevertheless. He is F...
