Hi,
well the witches have an evil motive, and the Pharisees didn't go there for the right reasons either.... what I meant is that the devil would never say to someone to go to church so they would learn to love God, repent of sin, etc. If the devil would say this to anyone, it would be for some other reason.
Concerning checking the spirits at church... I didn't mean that demons can't be present in church, - there have been many stories even in the lives of the Saints when they were tempted in ways during Mass. I think that checking spirits is important, especially if someone receives a message from God, or a vision, etc - we have to test that. But I meant something specific.. if a person is away from God, the devil would never tell them - "go to church, confess your sins, attend Mass and receive the Eucharist". This is like the devil encouraging someone to believe in Christ. Now the devil might tell someone to go to a church with incorrect doctrine...to mess them up....or he might lead them in an incorrect path that LOOKS like it's from God, but isn't.... he might even tell them to do something that appears to be holy but is not God's will. But I dont believe he would tell someone to confess their sins and receive the Eucharist, if they are properly disposed and if it's in the church that God wants them to. The devil CAN tell someone to receive the Eucharist when they're actually NOT properly disposed and this is very dangerous... that's why we shouldn't discern things on our own and cut ourselves off from the wisdom of the Church, which says we cant receive the Eucharist if we don't confess our sins.
I agree with you though..
God bless
