Evil

Post Categories

God is good. He is Goodness itself. God is Love. His infinite goodness and love urged Him to create other beings in order that He might share some of His goodness and love with them. He wants to makes us happy. Thus making us was an act of purest love. So what about evil?

God wishes us to share in His divine life. God takes care of all things. He is always in charge. So why is there evil? We are subject to evil, to sin and to suffering. Why?

The answer to why evil exists and sin and suffering is because God has given the angels and we humans He created the gift of free will and some of the the angels and we who are mankind have misused that gift.

Without free will we created beings with supernatural souls would not be capable of loving God and each other. But as we do have free will possible then is love of God and one another. Also possible because we have free will is hatred of God and others and rejection of God and His ways.

One third of the angels, lead by Lucifer, misused the gift of free will and are now demons who hate God and us. They are allowed by God to try us before the final accounting. And with temptation from Lucifer(Satan)and his demons we in one way or another have abused our gift of free will given to us from God starting with Adam and Eve.

It is because of the misuse of free will that we are now subject to evil, to sin, and to suffering and death.

God does not will evil. The demons and we humans are the ones who will evil.

God could stop evil by taking away our freedom. But that would reduce us to creatures of His on the same level as that of the animals He created. God leaves us free. And while He hates the evil we do and He does not will it, yet He permits it and He draws good from it. God finds a way to use it for good.

Adam and Eve forfeited God’s infinitely rich inheritance of gifts that of sanctifying grace and the pledge of everlasting life and the Vision of God. Thus they could not leave them to us, their children. They burned them in the flames of pride and all they had left to hand down to us is the ashes which are the evil consequences of their disobedience known as original sin.

As Adam and Eves children we come into this world in a disinherited state. We have the effects of the original sin of Adam and Eve on our souls. “Therefore as through one man sin entered into the world and through sin death, and thus death has passed unto all men because all have sinned.” (Rom. 5:12)

Adam and Eve were false to their trust in God. And we who are their descendants are all born into this world in the state of original sin. We are subject to the anger of God at their offense. We are deprived of those gifts which made up the state of original justice and we are bereft of the friendship of God and harried by the devil.

In the state of original sin we are deprived of the supernatural gifts and not having them we are not pleasing to God. In the supernatural sense we are not His children. We do not possess The Triune God within our souls and neither do we have claim to heaven.

Because of original sin we are deprived of the preternatural gifts as well. We do not enjoy immortality or freedom from physical suffering. Neither do we have integrity. Therefore we experience the hardships of labor, trials of all kind, and sickness and death.

Our natural gifts are not destroyed or crippled by original sin but they are weakened because the nature that we did inherit is a fallen nature deprived of the supernatural and preternatural gifts. Our minds crave truth. But they must seek for it with much mental exertion, often falling into traps of the devil and into error. Our wills may desire what is good, but frequently choose apparent good rather than true good. We often lie to ourselves. Because of the loss of grace we experience an inclination to excess and sin. And yes, many of us choose evil outright over good.

What do we need? We need God’s grace. The tendencies of our lower nature are not going to work in harmony with our soul for the best interests and happiness of our whole selves without using God’s grace. Each tends to seek its own satisfaction or pleasure in created things.

We have a great desire for things which pleasure us. We have an evil inclination of the human appetites which has arisen from original sin and which leads us to do what right reason opposes. We have an inordinate tendency for power, superiority, and honor which is known as pride of life or self-worship. We have an inordinate tendency to gain money and other goods of this earth, along with the poisonous curiosity to see, hear, and know everything which is concupiscence of the eyes. We have the inordinate tendency or desire for the sense-pleasures which is concupiscence of the flesh.

God spoke to us through St. John of this triple tendency to sin. …all that is in the world is lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life. (1 John 2:16)

We have the Father who loves us to go to. We have Jesus who came and who showed us the way , the truth, and the life. And we have the Holy Spirit who is pouring down His grace upon us.

But much of mankind rejects God the Father and Jesus and the Holy Spirit. Many are failing to use the grace of God.

There is the great apostasy from God. It is because, even with God giving us His only begotten son, even with Jesus coming and dying on the Cross for us, even with His showing us the way, the truth, and the life, and even with His giving us the Holy Spirit, Christendom for the most part joins with much of the rest of the world in not wanting to tolerate God and His sound doctrine and in not wanting to use God’s grace to choose good over evil in many instances.

Following their own desires over the will of God most in this world today and in Christendom have stopped listening to God’s truth. Most have wandered off to their own truth.

What many in Christendom love is to have the fables they prefer preached and told to them. ( 2 Timothy 4: 3-4)

Jesus Himself warned us that the love of most would grow cold because of the increase of evil. ( Matthew 24: 12)Who is willing to open their heart to the truth to be saved?

The love of evil is so accepted and so unopposed by those who should oppose it. What a folly.

God has loosed Satan upon this world. All who delight in evil doing will be condemned. ( 2 Thessalonians 2:11-12)

Our natural inclinations are good in themselves and are necessary. Everything God created was good. He had good reasons for our liking food and being attracted to the opposite sex. God intended these inclinations to be used in His service and for His glory. The fact that they are now disordered and tend to pleasure contrary to the dictates of reason and the laws of God is a result of our own sin. One cannot see it differently without calling good evil and evil good.

Humankind on earth right now is more evil than it has ever been. Modesty? A thing of the past for most. Morality? A thing of the past. God’s Ten Commandments? A thing of the past. Obedient love of God? A thing of the past. The gifts of the Holy Spirit being sought and used(wisdom, counsel, fortitude, knowledge, piety and fear of the Lord)? A thing of the past.

What rules the day is foolishness, dullness, rashness, cowardice, ignorance, hardness of heart and pride. The gifts of Satan are what you see most sought and used.

What few of us do anymore is prayer, penance and sacrifices.

Many who are ministers of Christ, televangelists, pastors, priests, bishops, cardinals are on the road to perdition and are taking many other souls with them. Even a pope could be on this road. Many are cowards and and traitors as evidenced by their lack of rebuke against modernism and sins such abortion and sodomy, on to the evil of same sex marriages. The silent men of God in these sinful matters are not without guilt. So where is the leadership towards holiness? Where is it?

Understand that our natural inclinations are good in themselves and are necessary. Everything God created was good. He had good reasons for our liking food and being attracted to the opposite sex. God intended these inclinations to be used in His service and for His glory. The fact that they are now disordered and tend to pleasure contrary to the dictates of reason and the laws of God is a result of our own sin.

The desires of many men and women are greatly disordered in this last hour of the last days as evidence by the want of women to have sex with women and men to have sex with men.

What moves great numbers of men and woman to be inclined towards the same sex for pleasure is the influence of the evil angels( even from birth) as well as their own evil desires of the human appetites.

How greatly disordered are their desires. It is not God moving them to do as they do. It not something good. There may be love for someone which is good but the homosexual act is evil and against God. (Romans 1:27)

The practice of this evil, and of its offspring which is same sex marriage, is calling down God’s wrath upon us.

Those of you who do not live the gay lifestyle, who do not have this evil appetite, yet who are going along with the acceptance of it as being something good, you too are guilty of sin. You too are caving in to the influence of demons. You too are guilty of calling down God’s wrath.

When you accept marriage which is not of God you forbid marriage which is of God. God has not changed how He feels about Sodomy . It is foolishness to think so. And He has not changed His mind about His Sacrament of Marriage He gave us. His laws and His standards have not been lowered. On the contrary, God is about to punish the world for its evil doing.

All in a position of leadership who say they love God but who fail to address these evil human appetites belong to Satan. All who follow their lead belong to Satan as well.( 1 John 1:5.)

Many have turned away from the faith heeding the deceitful spirits and the things taught by them and by those believable lying men and women with seared consciences following the demons lead who influence you in every kind of media format now. (1 Timothy 4:1-3)

Following the lead of these demons and men and women over just this one matter alone in this the last hour of the last days will have you as an enemy of God. (1 Timothy 4:1-3) They do not teach what God has taught! Heed God lest you be destroyed( Luke 6:45-49) (Romans 1: 21-32)(1 Cor. 6:9-10)(1 Thess.4:7-8) (1 Timothy1:8-11) (1 Timothy 4:1-5)

Just this one matter of evil and sinfulness is enough to claim the souls of many to damnation. But there is so much more evil being done.

Abortion is not of God. It is against God! This is another evil that has many falling away from Christ. If you have any attachment to abortion you are not of God but are of Satan. You are against God. Saying you of God does not make it so. Dictating to God what is right and what is wrong is not only not of God but in line with the pride of Satan. It is to do the same sin as Satan.

Dictating that you are of God while embracing evil is to be on the road to perdition. ( 2 Timothy 3:4-5) ( 2 Timothy 2:3-4)

The false notion that there are no evil angels lurking about to tempt to do that which is against God will have you steeped in evil.

The false notion that there is no original sin and the false doctrine that human nature is completely good and that it has no evil tendencies is an outlook on life which will have you steeped in sin (evil doing)

Beware of the many leaders praising and calling upon God who are promising you a freedom from God’s punishment for doing such acts as abortion and supporting the right to murder your child, on to the acts of sodomy and the right to live in such error and to support it and so on. (2 Peter 2:17-22 )

Beware of Modernism! Beware of anyone who says that Christian faith and morals must be brought up to date in the modern world . Modernism results in a loss of grace, which breeds even more skepticism and a further loss of grace. Modernism is the synthesis of all heresies.

Modernism is aggression against God. The error of Modernism differs from the righteousness of God.

Beware of Naturalism! The error of naturalism has many denying the need for redemption. It has many Christians denying the need for the sacraments (the foods of God- 1 Timothy 4:3). It has them denying the need for grace and for the guarding of the senses.

Even many of the very elect , the highest of leaders in Christendom, have fallen into the snare of modernism. Discern the spirit of every Christian leader with sound doctrine and with prayer and with the embrace of the Holy Spirit.

The modern world is against God and His Church.

But the biggest problem is not that. The biggest problem is that most Christians have embraced modernism. What is craved now by most Christians is earthly pleasures leading to their deserting God. They not only desert Him but repudiate Him altogether.

To the modernist Christian abortion is seen in the light of the modernist world which says a woman has the right to choose, that her body is hers to do with as she pleases, and this includes pregnancy. God says ,a woman’s body is not hers to do with as she pleases, a woman’s body is hers to do with as she ought to as dictated by her Creator.

If a woman loves God she does not go against God. Abortion is sin. It is murder in the eyes of God.

To the modernist Christian the gay rights agenda is an end to one kind of racism. To the modernist Christian same sex marriages are equal rights. To God this is evil doing. God says the gay rights agenda is to join with Satan the master of deceit in his last stand of evil.

The gay rights movement is at odds with God. All who support it are at odds with God. It is to dictate to God what is right and what is wrong when God has already spoken on the matter. (See Genesis 19:1-29, Romans 1:18-32, Jude 1-7, 1 Corinthians 9-11, 1 Timothy 8-11)Under no circumstances can homosexual acts be approved. They are acts of depravity before God.

The modernist Christian leader teaches that the Christ of faith was not the Christ of history, that He did not personally found the Church or sacraments but that these were historical developments.

Such a modernist Christian leader may say about Baptism that it is just an Initiation rather than Regeneration from original Sin. Such a modernist Christian leader may say that the Mass is just a Meal or Agape, rather than the HOLY SACRIFICE- the very same sacrifice of Jesus Christ on Calvary. Yes, the modernist Christian leader dictates to God what is true or false about so much which is of God. This is why he will not heed God’s messenger of the Covenant who is tasked with refining and purifying the sons of Levi.

The modernist Christian is of a mindset not to heed God’s rebuke, nor accept His refining and purifying, nor accept His revival.

The false notion that there are no evil angels lurking about to tempt to do that which is against God will have you steeped in evil. The false notion that there is no original sin will have you embracing lie after lie from the mouth of Satan. The false doctrine that human nature is completely good and that it has no evil tendencies is an outlook on life which will have you steeped in sin (evil doing).

The error of naturalism has many denying the need for redemption, and it has many Christians denying the need for the sacraments (the foods of God- 1 Timothy 4:3) , and for grace and the guarding of the senses. The result is that it is as Jesus said it would be in the time of His second coming and the end of the world.” Indeed you will be hated by all nations on my account. Many will falter then, betraying and hating one another. False prophets will arise in great numbers to mislead many. Because of the increase of EVIL, the love of MOST will grow cold.” (Matthew 24: 10-12) This is where we are at right now!

More and more are embracing the false belief that human nature has no need of God’s grace. This belief called naturalism is opposed to Christianity and God. This false belief has many denying original sin and the need for redemption. It has many denying the need for the sacraments of God in many cases within Christendom. It has many denying the need for the guarding of our senses.

We are not free to do whatever pleases us. A man and a woman does not have the right to have sex with the same sex or with an animal. A woman does not have the right to do whatever she pleases with her body. This naturalistic outlook is greatly in play in having us as an evil people before the Lord.

If you believe that one is free to do whatever he or she pleases you stand with Satan in evil.

If you believe that men and women have the right to engage in same sex acts, or in sex acts with partners outside of true marriage which God created between a man and a woman, or in sex acts with animals, then you stand with Satan in evil.

If you believe that a woman does have the right to do whatever she wants with her body as so many now believe (One of the great lies of our time) then you stand with Satan in evil.

And if you are of Christendom or Judaism or Islam believing such things you are a coward and traitor to your God.

Denying that you are evil before the Lord will not change it. Repentance is a must in your case to have life on high with the God who created you. (1 John 3:4-10) ( Revelation 21:8)

Yet many even among the elite in Christendom will ignore writings such as this and will go on to do as they please. When they go before the Lord He shall say to them as He has already told them in the Bible: “Out of my sight, you evil doers!” See Matthew 7: 21-23.

Whether you are a man or woman, you are only free to do what you ought to do. You are free to obey the voice of reason and faith. You are free to obey God. That is what you are free to do in God’s graces. To do what you want to do in any other light, such as a woman having an abortion and others permitting it, is to do evil.

Is there even ten people among all senators, congressmen, supreme court justices and those of the executive branch, who makes our laws in this country and who enforces them, who are not on the road to perdition? I see no evidence of it. All in some way have compromised with evil and have become part of it.

It is as in the days of Sodom and Gomorrah.

And are there ten men of God who speak as they should in the name of God to these others? I see no evidence of it. For all in some way are acting as a coward or a traitor concerning the Lord.

So if our leaders both political and spiritual are as such is it any wonder that we are for the most part an evil people?

It is as in Noah’s day. This being true, blessed are those who know that they are in the days of the Son of Man and who do right by Him.

See Luke 17:26-29 and prepare the way of the Lord. Blessed are those who hold out to the end in this evil hour of the last days. For they are the ones who will see salvation. (Matthew 24: 13)

We must witness the truth to all nations and not go along with the evil agenda’s. And then the end will come. It will not be easy but it’s a must. ( Matthew 24: 14)

Do not look for a premature rapture. Nor a mid-rapture. We are to witness the truth to all nations and not go along with the evil agenda. This we are to do to the very end and then Jesus will come. It will not be easy. But this is our calling and we must do it. ( Matthew 24: 14)

I have every right to speak the way I do. I speak as God has assigned it to me to do. Question it and you do not question me but the one who sets me to the task at hand.

Evil is a problem which is consuming many of us. And it will consume most of us if the truth is not allowed to be told.

And if the truth is indeed heard and people fail to use God’s grace to accept it? Then God’s just judgement will come upon us full force.

The times are real. Jesus is coming! Satan is taking his last stand for souls and for demonstrating his hatred for God.

The times are evil. Evil is not a part of our reality. It is not true to life. It is as St Thomas and St Augustine said: Rather, evil is the lack of perfection that should be present in a person, action, or thing as part of its reality.

Evil creates a conflict of good with good in the exercise of the will. “Detest what is evil, cling to what is good.” (Romans 12:9) All of us, we are struggling between good and evil, between light and darkness. You must know this. Thus, you will be accountable. So leave evil and cling to good.

Only through Christ will any of us make it through this time of evil. Yet many marked forever as of Christ by Baptism will prefer to follow after the counterfeit spirit which allows contraception and abortion and same sex marriage calling evil good and those who oppose these evils bad.

“But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come . . .Evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving (lying) and being deceived.” (2 Timothy 3:1, 13)

You are living in the last hour of the last days. This is a very perilous time. Heed Isaiah 5:20 “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!”

Most have spurned the laws of God. Most are doing great evil before him. On top of that most are calling the evil good such as abortion, fornication( living together outside of marriage engaging in sex) and sodomy and same sex marriage. And most are calling good evil, such as calling one who is with God and against evils such as abortion, fornication, sodomy, and same sex marriages as being prejudiced and a hater.

If you love someone you tell them the truth in the Lord and you do not go along with their doing evil before the Lord which will lead them in the end to an eternal unhappiness.

To be against what is evil is not to be against those doing the evil. Is this last hour it is to be a lover of those doing evil to tell them the truth of their sin before God. It is a great act of bravery as Satan has gained the upper hand with thinking and acting of not just many but most on earth.

God is about to destroy Babylon the Great. We are the great harlot. Oh the lewdness of this great nation so adorned! So gifted by God are we and so rebellious and in love with Satan’s ways!

Abortion, fornication, sodomy on to same sex marriage, these evils are of the harlot. Therefore the wrath of God blazes and He will strike His blaze of wrath against those doing these evils, especially against His people doing these evils and calling it good. See Isaiah 5:20.

Hear the Word of God! “Do not forget this: there will be terrible times in the last days. Men will be lovers of self and of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, profane, human, implacable, slanderous, licentious, brutal, hating the good. They will be treacherous, reckless, pompous, lovers of pleasure rather than of God as they make a pretense of religion but negate its power. Stay clear of them.” ( 2 Timothy 3:1-5)

Yet the many have embraced them and are not staying clear of them. Pleasure, this whole debate about gay rights and same sex marriage is about pleasure, and it’s about hating the good.” Can you not realize that the unholy will not fall heir to the kingdom of God? Do not deceive yourselves: no fornicators, idolaters, or adulterers, no sodomites, thieves, misers, or drunkards, no slanderers or robbers will inherit God’s Kingdom.” (1 Cor. 6:9-11) This is the 9:11 we need to remember most of all.

The terrorism that we are inflicting upon ourselves is beyond any evil before this time.

Why is it happening? “For the time will come when people will not tolerate sound doctrine, but following their own desires, will surround themselves with teachers who tickle their ears. They will stop listening to the truth and will wander off to fables.” ( 3 Timothy 4:3-5)

The moral depravity and false teachings of many men and women of our times (And those in the media, on television, on radio, in the papers, on the internet -in all arenas, who speak whether from a political, religious, news, movie, music, sports or any other background) they are teachers, they influence us in the biggest of ways, are prevailing as they are fast at work in this last hour of the last days. Many, many are with Satan!

Satan uses racism to divide us. Abortion is racism. But who see it that way? The rings on Satan’s finger’s give off a very bright but false light which many use to see as they wish to see with the deceiver.

So much is going on right now which is not being seen as it should. Who matters is God and all who He loves. Which is everyone.

Evil is not to live our faith. Evil is to not believe all that God has revealed. Evil is not doing all that God wishes us to do for love of Him. Evil is going along with the lies and the compromises. Evil is being a traitor and coward in this last hour of great danger to mankind as Satan makes his last stand for our souls.

If you are afraid of speaking the truth and making sacrifices to cling to it in this day you will not make it to Christ on high. Beware of the counterfeit spirit! Beware of Evil!

Your brother in Christ, Eddie
