Thank you for highlighting us with this information.

From (hopefully) a loving catholic perspective, I personally believe that the virgin Mary apparitions at Fatima(Portugal) and also in Zeitun(Egypt) are part of a bigger message then just resolving the Russian communist problems that this two apparitions supposedtly addressed, personally I believe (and I don't know how this will be possible) that these events, have happen to re-unit our faiths... After all we are all creatures of god, so I believe he will try save us all from the hands of Satan...

My heart cries out with peace and love for people to realise that Satan hates us all, he tries to trick us all, and we must realise that anything said or done which has hate in it must be the works of the enemy, god would not wish any arm to come to his children, we have free will, but Satan is a liar and he will try to destroy us, his biggest trick is make us believe that he does not exist.

I also believe that Satan knows more about the sacred scriptures then we all realize... We do have an advantage over him he cannot read our minds, only god can read our minds.

Hate does not have a place in heaven.

I'm going to make a reference here to sin, the moment you commit sin, then Satan can control your mind, after this comes deaf... Take a look at the film "the passion of Christ" when Judas committed sin, after that he even tough that the children chasing him were demons, then he hang himself... so there you have the works of the dark angel in action.

There's a Egyptian web site run by an Egyptian orthodox priest where he has been filming mass over a few year now, and in this church(Egypt) you have Christians and Muslims alike attending mass in order to be blessed with holy water to cast out demons or lost souls which may have possess them without them know, so the priest goes around sprinkling holy water over everyone and then suddenly someone in the crowd will just go completely crazy just because a drop of blessed water is touch them... personally I don't know if any of this stuff could be made up, but from reading quite a lot about this subject I believe any lost soul or any demon is so scared of holy water, the crucifix, and when prayers like our father or liturgy of the saints are said that is they leave those bodies then... weather this simply the power of love and nothing else I leave this up to you.

As I'm not yet aloud to post url here until my posts go up so I will simply tell you the name of the site, it's an Arabic site, but try it is called alkalema dot net, when you go to this site it will redirect you to another site and the page you need is called video1.htm

'I was watching satan fall as lightning from Heaven. Behold, I have given you power to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and over all the might of the enemy; and nothing shall hurt you. But do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you; rejoice rather in this, that your names are written in Heaven."
  • Luke 10: 18-20
God bless you my brothers and sisters, peace be with you.

You should not believe in Satan, as he is a liar, his biggest trick is make us believe that he does not exist, he wonders throw this world to lose as many souls as he can, before the end of time.

30I will not speak with you much longer, for the prince of this world is coming. He has no hold on me

John 14,30

4The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.

2 Corinthians 4,4

5Who is it that overcomes the world? Only he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.

1 John 5,19

God bless you brothers and sisters, peace be with you.

Um, this is the discussion and debate non-Christian religions forum, where most participants, like myself, are members of non-Christian religions. Thus, yes, as a Pagan theist who doesn't believe the Bible is a spiritual authority, I do think Satan is a figment of your imagination. :)

And the Gods would never lose those they love. Don't worry. There is no hell, either. :)

Have you heard about the garabandal warning?

As far as I know this is has been official approved by the vatican.

Here is an extract from the garabandal dot org website



The Warning
Conchita wrote: "The warning comes directly from God and will be visible to the whole world and from any place where anyone many happen to be. It will be like the revelation of our sins and it will be seen and felt by everyone, believer and unbeliever alike irrespective of whatever religion he may belong to. It will be seen and felt in all parts of the world and by every person."

It will happen in the sky, no one can prevent it form happening. We will even prefer to be dead rather than to pass through this Warning It will not kill us. It will be a "correction" of our conscience. It will cause great fear and will make us reflect within ourselves on the consequences of our own personal sins. It will be like a warning of the punishment to come. In this way the world will be offered a means of purification to prepare itself for the extraordinary grace of the Great Miracle. Jacinta was told by Our Blessed Mother "that the warning would come when conditions were at their worst." The date was not revealed to the visionaries, however Mari-Loli does know the year; and she said that The Miracle will happen within one year after The Warning.

This discussion asks, does satan exist?

My brother as you don't believe Satan exists or that hell exists either, then you have to wait until you get there to find out.

Those were the words said by father pio (padre Pio) to someone who did not believe in confession to clear the sins, Father Pio suffered from a Stigmata when anyone went to receive confession, and what was so unusual about Padre Pio's stigmata was that when it bled, the blood smelled of perfume or flowers.

With regards to the garabandal warning, what do you make of it, do you think it will still happen???

God bless you my brothers and sisters, peace be with you.

:) I could easily be right and you wrong, however. I believe there is no hell and you are wrong when you say there is one.

I think that like most Christian "miracles" and "prophecies," it won't happen but those who believe in it will continue to believe that it was "fulfilled" in some fashion. Do you believe that the milk miracles prove Hinduism true?

No?

I don't, either. What makes you think, therefore, preaching at me about what you believe will convince me of anything other than that you believe what you say? I've heard it all before, you know, and I'm still a Pagan.

Thank you brother.

I allways welcome the work of god, but if it's the works of the enemy then I cast it into hell, in the name of the Jesus Christ who died for me and for you to overcome the original sin.

God bless you, peace be with you.

Does Satan exist?
Yes, he's been with us from the beginning. It is his envy of God that is present in us.I believe this is what causes us to accept the wisdom of the world over the word of God. This is why we make our own Gods and worship them.
