Evil
God is in charge of everything. God takes care of all things. So why is there evil? The answer to why evil exists is because God has given the angels and humans He created the gift of free will and the angels and 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 and rejection of God and His ways, and hatred of one another as well.
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. He 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.
Adam and Eve forfeited God’s infinitely rich gifts of sanctifying grace, the pledge of everlasting life, and the Vision of God. These gifts of God we would have inherited. But Adam and Eve 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 are 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 born into this world in the state of original sin. We are subject to the anger of God at their offense and are deprived of those gifts which made up the state of original justice. We are bereft of the friendship of God and are harried by the devil.
In the state of original sin we are deprived of the supernatural gifts. And in 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 the 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, 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 we must seek for it with much mental exertion and so we often fall into traps of the devil. We often fall into error. Our wills may desire what is good but frequently we 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, there are those of us in mankind who desire evil and who choose evil outright over good.
We need God’s grace. And we need to use it. 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 is rejecting God, the Father and the Son Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. Many are failing to use the grace of the one true God.
There is the great apostasy from God. 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 is joining 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, including Christians,have stopped listening to God’s truth. Most of mankind has 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)
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.
The evil angels and our own evil desires of the human appetites is what moves great numbers of men and woman to be inclined towards the same sex for pleasure. 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. Lot’s wife looked back at the cities she loved, at the demise of the people at odds with God but whom she had no problem with. God turned her into a pillar of salt. 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 in this regard.
A terrible fate awaits those who 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. (1 Timothy 4:1-3)
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 another evil that has many falling away from Christ. All who have any attachment to abortion are not of God but against Him. Saying you are of God does not make it so. Dictating to God what is right and what is wrong is do the same as Satan.
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).
The error of Modernism differs from the righteousness of God. 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.
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) Open your eyes as to what is going on! See just where we are at right now!
Man is not free to do whatever he pleases. A man and a woman do not have the right to have sex with someone of the same sex. A woman does not have the right to do whatever she pleases with her body. This naturalistic outlook alone is greatly in play in having us as an evil people before the Lord.
If you believe that man is free to do whatever he pleases, if you believe that men and women have the right to engage in same sex acts, and that a woman does have the right to do whatever she wants with her body, including killing the baby in her womb created by God (One of the great lies of our time) ,then you belong to the Devil!
Woe to you in Christendom who are cowards and traitors to the faith!
Denying that you are an evil doer before the Lord will not change it. Repentance is a must for any embracing the false happiness they get from fornication, homosexual acts and same sex marriage , from abortion of their baby and the like. Your perverted happiness will be short lived. In its place will come what cannot be undone for all eternity, that which is most terrifying and painful! You will not have life on high with the God who created you. You will not have peace of mind or of body and spirit and soul. Not ever!
Those of you in need of God’s rescue, who ignore writings such as this and who go on to do as you please, who spurn the correction of the Lord, when you go before the Lord He shall say to you: “Out of my sight, you evil doers!” See Matthew 7: 21-23.
Whether man or woman, you are only free to do what you ought to do, free to obey the voice of reason and faith, free to obey God. To do what you want to do in any other light, such as a woman having an abortion and others permitting it, is to commit sin.
Is there even ten people among all senators and congressmen and 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. For all in some way have compromised with evil and have become 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 to the Lord. So if our leaders 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 you who know that you are in the days of the Son of Man and who do right by Him. See Luke 17:26-29 Blessed are you who prepare the way of the Lord. Blessed are you who hold out to the end in this evil hour of the last days. For you are the ones who will see salvation! (Matthew 24: 13)
Do not look for a premature rapture, nor mid-rapture. We must witness the truth to all nations and not go along with the evil agenda. This is to be done to the very end and then Jesus will come.
It will not be easy. But we must do it. ( Matthew 24: 14)
I have every right to speak this way. God has assigned it to me. It is God who moves me to the task at hand. It is God who needs to be heeded. So discern wisely and with God.
Evil is a problem which is consuming mankind. And it will consume most of us if the truth is not allowed to be told and if people fail to use God’s grace which He is pouring down upon us.
The times are real. Jesus is coming again. Satan is taking his last stand for souls and for demonstrating his hatred for God. The times are evil.
Evil is not a reality. 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 are struggling between good and evil, between light and darkness. Everyone knows this. Everyone will be accountable. So leave evil and cling to good.
Only through Christ will any of us make it through this time of evil. But even most who are marked as of Christ by Baptism are preferring to follow after the counterfeit spirit which allows such evils as contraception and abortion and same sex marriage. So many of you are calling these evils good and are calling those of us 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)
We 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! Woe to those who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!”
As a people we have spurned the laws of God. As a people we are doing great evil before him. On top of that, as a people, we are calling evil good, such as abortion and sodomy and same sex marriage.
You who are calling what is a good thing an evil thing, saying it is wrong to say such things as abortion, sodomy and same sex marriages are evil, your calling what is good and of God wrong is proof of the dangerous state of your souls.
It is you who are calling those who are with God and against evils such as fornication, sodomy,transgenderism, abortion and the like prejudiced and haters, who are the in fact the prejudiced and the haters. Your love of evil over good which has blinded you will be the end of peace for you for all eternity.
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.
Be true to God and not to peer pressure, be brave Drew and so many of you. Do not be traitors and cowards to Christ.
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 and those going along with these evils. Be not among His people doing or supporting in any way these evils. Do not call evil doing good. See Isaiah 5:20.
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!
“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. 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.
Beware of the moral depravity and false teachings of many men and women of our times. Beware of those in the media, on television, on radio, in the papers, on the internet and in all arenas, who speak what is against God whether from a political, religious, news, movie, music, sports or any other background. All these are teachers. They influence us in the biggest of ways. These depraved and false men and woman are with Satan are they prevailing with their influence with far too many who are now lost souls. 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 him , 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 living our faith. Evil is not believing all that God has revealed and doing all that God wishes us to do for love of Him. Evil is going along with crimes in the name of good , 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!
