"The devil attacks at our weak points, and if he can’t get coax us into heresy or mortal sin, he will subtly try and turn us away from God in the guise of “defending the Church” or something like that."

These are very good thoughts, Claud.

If you're a horn-dog, the Devil will try to get you with horniness, but if you're a Church Lady, the devil will try to get you with churchiness.

If you're a moral type, he'll try to get you addicted to high-proof moral indignation (hotter than hard liquor, I can tell you).

Some people would be in a real dilemma if they were faced with a choice between Gehenna with Gregorian chant or Heaven with Marty Haugen.

lol True. Some get so wrapped up in churchiness they lose track of reality.

“If you’re a moral type, he’ll try to get you addicted to high-proof moral indignation (hotter than hard liquor, I can tell you).”

He’s a distorter, right? I find a positive example of the distortion in Psalm 119:

“Hot indignation seizes me because of the wicked, who forsake your law” (vs. 53)

Even if coming from a right spirit, that will never sell in the marketplace. But most believers can relate. This God-loving indignation is often yet another casualty of the “don’t JUUUUUUUDDDDGGGGGGE” obsession. No one is righteous, not even one BUT...WE side with God against ourselves and say, “Let God be true and every man a liar”. It’s more of a standing up for the righteousness of God than “ain’t I goooood?”

Bless you.
