Does it look a lot like Amerika under mr. mulato?

great book - a group of demons explained that Hell is a miserable place that is cold dark and where one stands next to a millions others reliving their regrets for all time...

...has nothing to do with burning and being worked 24/7 by a wipe carrying horned master

I can a test to that same cold in Iraq one nite during my service...insurgents surrounded our location and were going to attack...prayers returned the heat and reality!

Thank you for sharing this. satan is on the move right now and the number of attachments I have observed have been increasing. (I never capitalize that name even when it is the first word in a sentence)

I have a hard time with the idea that Satan or demons can create. Counterfeit or twist the Lord’s creation, sure.

Interesting about creation of hell.

[onedoug]

While there is, I believe, solid mathematical and physical evidence for God behind the universe, there is absolutely no such evidence for Satan until humankind abstracts that information from its own mind. It seems an invention to which no form of evil is exclusively of human origin, but is rather attached in some way to this agency.

I’m an OT believer who sees the Serpent as God Himself. Any detachment from this view seems to me to undermine monotheism.

We see Nature constantly reduced to ever simpler terms. Although many of the ways into those terms still seem cloudily elusive, others have oft time been rendered with breathtaking clarity. Such it is, I believe with God, Who made His universe that way too.

Wonder what would happen if we did a remote exorcism on Obama!!!!!

When the devil interrupts with a saying like this, it means that God has obliged him to tell the truth. And this time it was extremely important. The faithful often ask me: “But how is it possible that God created Hell, why did he think of a place of suffering?”. And so that time the devil responded to the provocations of Fr. Candido by revealing an important truth about Hell: “It was not Him, God, who created Hell! It was us. He hadn’t even thought of it!” Therefore in the plan of God’s creation the existence of Hell had not been contemplated. The demons created it! During exorcisms, I have also often asked the devil: “Did you create Hell?”. And his response has always been the same: “We all cooperated”.

Nope! The devil - if it even WAS him and not another demon - was lying still. God knows the end from the beginning, before He made anything He knew how it would all come to pass. This calls into question everything else this priest claims if he can't even get God's omniscience correct. God's NOT surprised by anything or anyone. To suggest that He is or was is to discredit God's own infinite power.

The demons don't "create" anything, they will inhabit the final hell created by God along with ALL the fallen angels, the false prophet, the Antichrist and the lost humanity who rejected the gift of God which is eternal life through faith in Jesus Christ.
