I think I was demonically attacked last night

[pdudgeon]

well thank you both for being honest and laying your cards on the table here.
I'll do the same, and choose to believe that Christ knew what He was talking about.

When He was referring to what ?

 

[eastcoast_bsc]

You were demonically attacked in a dream ?

You realize they aren't real, right ?

Nagging spirits and demons are a reality.

 

[pdudgeon]

When He was referring to what ?

everything.

 

[S.ilvio]

Nagging spirits and demons are a reality.

You reckon?

I give everything up to Christ who is eternally more powerful than any supposed nagging spirit. As a follower of Christ I am fully protected. All I have to do is invoke his name...

I'm glad you saw the dream and demon for what it was. Demons lie, of course. And a demon with rotten flesh promising healing...gosh, sometimes they are stupid as well. The dream might be a foreboding of something that hasn't yet happened: a panacea offered to you that you have a bad feeling about but seems good on the surface.

I think you hit on something. A rotting demon promising healing? Seems Mikhael saw it for what it was.

agreed.

 

[S.ilvio]

Is this talk cosher with current Catholic teaching? This certainty that demons are infiltrating Mikhael's dreams?

I think it would fall under private revelation. And Mikhael is not teaching anything contrary to Church teaching so it's cool.

Be careful insulting demons. I'm not saying love them, but be respectful of them, because God created them for his use. Some ministers have ran into REAL problems insulting deamons that have taken years to fix.

 

[Sitsatdeskwithpen]

Let me clarify... Everything you said is true, demons lie. Calling them stupid is a judgement on your part, not good. That is where people get into trouble.

 

[Michie]

Yeah there is warning in Scripture about that.

[Tigger45]

Yeah there is warning in Scripture about that.

Jude 1:9 Archangel Michael didn't rebuke the devil by his own words but said " the Lord rebuke you."

You're right, thank you for the reminder. If nothing else, I might become lax thinking they are stupid and succumb to a deception. And I know that scripture, I just had a lapse.

 

[benedictaoo]

Yeah, I think they are.

That's because you just don't believe.

 

[Michie]

Pope Francis has spoken often on the reality of the devil.

 

[benedictaoo]

Catholic teaching would tell us not to give it attention. We know demons are real but we don't play with them spending time talking about it.

 

[Michie]

So this thread is bad? That's ridiculous. I am just amazed that Christians act like Satan is the tooth fairy or something.

 

[benedictaoo]

Jude 1:9 Archangel Michael didn't rebuke the devil by his own words but said " the Lord rebuke you."

We are never to take on the devil one on one, that's asking g for T-R-O-U-B-L-E. I'm not comfortable even talking about this.
