| Behind Door #1, Door #2, & Door #3 are three distinct personality traits of evil. Yet, they're dreadfully similar. |
This fragmentation of mind constantly reminds the first amongst the rebellious angels that he is only a finite being, incapable of unifying within himself one divine being, in three distinct persons --- or even in three distinct personality traits. This punishment would be close to Dissociative Personality Disorder. This constantly shows the rebel angel that the Holy Trinity has no equal.
 |
| If you ever read St. Augustine, you'll know why any ocean is symbolic of the Holy Trinity. |
The Anti-Trinity, on the other hand, is the Evil One in three personality traits. This is a being who was created with a spirit & intelligence, as well as free will. This is a finite being created for the purpose of participating in God's living fountain from which springs forth all life-giving things.
However, this is a finite spirit who was and is crippled by envy. He envied the idea of the same God creating a type of being which is simultaneously material and spiritual. This is a being whose framework and faculties are one echelon lower than that of the angels.
The Evil One became outraged over the idea that God would become a member of this inferior race, called mankind, and the Evil One refused to pay homage to even the idea of God-made-man.
The Evil One, therefore, is the Envious One. And of course, through the envy of the Devil, death came into the world (Book of Wisdom, Ch 2, v 24) ... into the world of mankind. Envy translates into Brutality. The intellectual form of Brutality is Cruelty.
God uniting with all of creation by becoming a member of that creation
God becoming Man is known as the Hypostatic Union. This refers to the nature of mankind being united with the divinity of He Who Is . . . of he who has always been. The person who was to become God and Man simultaneously is known as the Messiah ... the Anointed One. This refers to the Divinity of the Eternal God anointing human nature in one person, by means of God the Son becoming a member of the human race.
God becoming Man occurred in the New Ark of the Covenant, namely in Miriam of Nazareth. This occurred during the reign of Caesar Augustus. Concerning her role as the designated & consecrated Ark of the New Covenant, concerning her bodily integrity, the following was God's will for her:
"This gate must remain closed. It must not be opened, and no one may come through it. Now, being that the Lord, the God of Israel, came through it, it must remain closed." (Ezek 44:2) In as much, Jesus had cousins and "fellow countrymen" who were referred to as "brethren," aka "kinsfolk." The New Testament, which was handed down to the successive generation of Christianity in the Greek language, makes mention of ADELPHOI. This is a Greek term which meant more than merely a DNA sibling. And it meant more than cousin.
After all, a "City of Brotherly Love" wasn't a city where everyone was a sibling or cousin. "Brother" was and still is a state of being, as in "Band of Brothers," "Soul Brothers," "Brother from a different Mother," "Fraternity Brothers," "Lodge Brothers," and "Brothers in Christ." In Italian America, such persons are called "peisani' which means villagers. In American, such persons were called "fellow countrymen" and even "compatriots."
Now, Jesus had no children, and his mother only had one child. Yet, there have been hundreds of millions throughout history who recognized the phrase, "Brothers & Sisters in Jesus Christ." Anyone who believes in the true Christ today is a brother or sister of Christ, despite that person's DNA haplogroup . . . despite that person's ancestry.
Jesus did NOT have biological brothers and sisters. Proof #1 consists in Jesus on the Cross telling non-relative John (son of Zebedee) that he was to now regard Mary as his mother. During the same moment, Christ told Mary that John was now her son. Well, in Jewish law, caring for a widowed mother was the responsibility of the eldest surviving son. Thus, if the eldest son died, then the second eldest became the designated caretaker of his mom. Yet, Jesus did NOT tell Simon or Jude to take care of Mary. Thus, neither Simon nor Jude were DNA brothers of Jesus. They were cousins. All in all, Jesus bestowed the assignment of caretaker to non-relative John the Apostle; to John the Evangelist.
In addition, some people throughout history conjectured that Saint Joseph had children to another woman, before he met Mary. However, this is not Catholic Tradition. And remember, Catholic Tradition includes the handing-down of historical fact and family archives. After all, to be Catholic is to be heavily engulfed in history . . . in the midst of mankind.
Moreover, during the flight from Herod's wrath, Joseph and Mary took flight into Egypt without the help of any "child of Joseph." None the less, once a Jewish woman took a vow of virginity, if she were to make this vow known to her betrothed, then her betrothed man was bound to honor that vow. This IS a directive expressly mentioned in the LAW OF MOSES.
In as much, St. Luke's mention of Mary being a virgin was the mention of a Jewish woman in an autonomous Jewish religious order, where each vowed virgin lived her own life, and not in any monastic community. The third orders of the Catholic Church were and still are that way.
Example: St Catherine of Siena was a "Third Order Dominican," and she lived at home as a vowed virgin . . . and she became very famous. She became so famous that a pope assigned her to be one of his advisers.
Early Church Fathers saw Mary as the New Ark of the Covenant
Mary was reserved for the most sacred of destinies. She was God's ciborium; the Temple of the Son of God; the Ark of the New & Everlasting Covenant. Plus, she made a vow of virginity, pursuant to the Law of Moses.
People who refuse to believe this are very weak-willed, lust-burning, and vile-minded individuals stuck on themselves. Being that they are void of virtue and/or discipline and/or a sense of decency, they cannot believe that anyone would be any different than them. In fact, certain women refuse to acknowledge the unprecedented gifts & sanctity of the Virgin Mary out of seething envy --- just like the very unclean Lord of the Flies.
That which these people despise the most is when Catholic Church Teaching admits that Mary is the one who crushed the head of the serpent . . . by the grace of God the Father. They go into a spiritual outrage over that concept. They simply despise Mary and want her out of the way.
These people deny Mary's virginity. Yet, there were numerous saints in the 2,000 year history of the Catholic Church who vowed celibacy. There are canonized saints who spent a lifetime as a virgin, resulting in apparent miraculous intervention from them, after they entered into the Great Beyond. There literally is a list. Example: St Clair of Assisi, St Teresa d'Avila, St Therese of Lisieux, St Gertrude the Great, St Mathilde, St Margaret Mary Alacoque, St. Catherine Laboure, St Frances Cabrini, . . . etc, etc, etc, etc. Thus, virginity has repeatedly been people despising the idea that Mary was a perpetual virgin is an element of White Trash Religion.
It's simply that the "Born-Again," "TV Evangelist," "I'm Saved," "Praise the Lord" mindset is that it's impossible to be chaste. So, the Lord "lets you slide," they claim, despite St Paul empathically stating that people who habitually engage in sin will not inherit the Kingdom of Heaven. In fact, the prime teaching of the religion which used to call itself "the Born-Again Christian" religion . . . and which changes its name as often as does Lucifer . . . is this:
They basically teach that Jesus came and suffered tremendously so that they can keep on living a life of sin. They have used the phrase, "The sins of your future are forgiven." They do not believe that Jesus saves anyone from his sins. Rather, they believe that Christ allows you to keep on sinning, as if belief in him is a "Get out of Hell Free" card. They partly carry the concept of the Ranters (which see.) Rasputin was a Ranter.
The True Heaven, as opposed to the Fairy Tale thereof
It is written about Heaven, "Nothing unclean will ever enter it." (Rev. 21:27) Likewise, the King of Heaven will not enter into anything unclean, upon his own volition and of his own doing. The Virgin Mary had to be immaculate, in order for the Son of God to become man in her. If she had the taint of sin in her, God the Son would have been too repelled to enter into her and he would have refused to be developed in her.
Without a woman created immaculate by God the Father, there would have been no Messiah. And remember, the Precious Blood of Jesus came from the blood of Mary. Thus, Jesus needed to have ... and he did receive from his Father's power ... a completely pure mother.
She was never divine. No Catholic ever believed that she created the Heavens & the Earth. Only an illiterate Protestant would accuse Catholics of such idolatry. Only a pervert would think of worshipping Mary, in the first place. She was simply the way that the creation of mankind should have been, all along . . . namely, sinless ... more specifically, humbly sinless.
The Double Hypocrisy of it all
Hypocrisy Numero Uno: Martin Luther .... the 16th Century German ... believed that Mary was a perpetual virgin. So, why do the followers of Protestantism ignore a teaching of the Founder of Protestantism?
Hypocrisy Numero Due: Protestants are willing to believe that Christ walked on water. They are willing to believe that he brought the dead back to life, instantly cured lepers, turned water into wine, and eventually turned himself into crystalline light during his transfiguration. But, they refuse to believe that his mother was a consecrated Jewish woman, reserved for God only.
In fact, Protestants are willing to believe that the miraculous Jesus Christ came into existence without a human father. They are equally willing to believe that John the Baptist leapt for joy in his mother's womb, upon the greeting of Mary, thereby being rendered in the state of grace. But they refuse to believe something as simple as Mary being created in the state of grace, so that she could be reserved for the coming of the Messiah --- so that she could be the Ark of the New & Everlasting Covenant.
Once again, in order to have been reserved FOR the coming of the Messiah, the Virgin Mary had to first be preserved FROM sin. It was God's grace to her. No Catholic believes that she is God. No Catholic worships her.
Protestants say that Catholics worship Mary, as a ploy to get people to refrain from adhering to the worldwide Catholic Church ... and to instead join their Television Network Protestant Sect. This endless defamation is done, so that money from Catholic people's pockets will eventually go into the Televangelist bank accounts, instead of going into the Catholic Church collection baskets. It's an advertising campaign. Demonize the competition and make money in the process.
Welcome to Lying for Dollars, hosted by Reverend Jim Bob Confederate Boy of the Church of the Extremely Saved
Protestant preachers see the heavily populated & historic Catholic Church as their business competition . . . in competition for tax-free collection basket money and the such. So, they lie about their competition. It's business. Strictly business. It's Lying for Dollars.
Now think: Southerners seceded from the Union (of the United States.) That mindset came from their ancestors seceding from the Union of the Catholic Church. However, the Protestant Reformation was actually the Protestant Confiscation, where a handful of northern kings literally stole all of the Catholic Churches, convents, and monasteries in their nations, ordering the Catholic churches to now be called Lutheran Churches (in Scandinavia's case) and "the Church of England," in Henry VIII's case.
Catholic priests were arrested left & right. Even the Catholic laity suffered martyrdom. Protestantism was forced upon the northern countries west of Russia. There was no popular Protestant movement of the people, concerning Martin Luther and similar other "reformers." The popularity aspect didn't occur until ... until the rise of the Huguenots in small sectors of France ... which were an offshoot of John Calvin.
Even at that, Cardinal Richelieu protected the Huguenots . . . for political & military purposes. If not for Richelieu, the Huguenots would not have had a chapter in French history, in the first place. However, it certainly was a popular movement, unlike Luther's movement which was founded upon the mass theft of Catholic Church property in Saxony, Brandenburg, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and Finland . . . and Henry VIII's mass theft of Catholic Church property in a land once called Our Lady's Dowry, also known as England.
BTW, it took Henry VIII four years to complete his "dissolution of monasteries." He did NOT have a popular movement. His "Church of England" was forced upon the English.
The Purpose for the Immaculate Conception
Mary was conceived without sin, for the salvation of mankind. She is the one who crushed the head of the demonic world ... done by the grace of God only. Thus, Mary has been and always will be integral in the plan of salvation, as well as always will be the Intercession of the Saints in Heaven. This includes Elijah and the miraculous Elias. It can also include you, if you remain faithful. Also integral in the plan of salvation has been & will be:
[1] the writings of the Apostle Paul & the other New Testament Epistles, [2] the Four Gospels, [3] the Seven Sacraments which includes the Priesthood of Christ & the ordination of deacons, [4] the Seat of Saint Peter, along with the Teaching Authority of the Church which exists in its faithful bishops ... which resulted in the Catechism ... which actually originated from the 1st Century's Didache (which see.)
Note: Faithful bishop is defined as one who acknowledges that, as soon as a Successor of Peter ratifies as infallible a doctrinal teaching, it cannot be reversed, discarded, or contradicted. No pope can undo the infallible ratification of any previous pope. This is important to note, because there have been many infallible doctrines that came out of Church Ecumenical Councils. The attending bishops at those councils defined such infallible doctrines, and then the pope-at-the-time ratified each doctrine as infallible.
The Church is only infallible in matters of Faith & Morals. NOT physics ... or military science ... or in history ... or in astronomy ... or in engineering ... or in agricultural science ... or molecular chemistry, etc, etc, etc.
As far as goes an individual pope making an infallible statement on his own, without the presence of an ecumenical council, it happened only twice in history: Once in 1854, concerning the doctrine of the Immaculate Conception which declared Mary sinless from the start ... and once in 1950, concerning the Bodily Assumption of Mary into Heaven.
There were times in church history where up to 22 infallible statements were promulgated in one day ... always through & only through the Church's Ecumenical Councils. And of course, a number of councils had no infallible statements at all. This includes Vatican II ... the SECOND Vatican Council.
Also, in order for a teaching to be infallible, it cannot contradict the Bible. The teaching doesn't need to be stated anywhere in the Bible. But, it cannot contradict anything that is stated in the Bible. The apostles came before the officially defined Bible came into existence. Thus, tradition preceded the Bible. Tradition came first. In fact, the Bible is merely a part of Tradition, and the New Testament was written by a few of the original apostles and a few of their closest followers, namely Mark, Luke, and St. Paul.
The Catholic Church is the sole composer, compiler, & rightful owner of the NEW Testament. Without the Catholic Church, there would have been no New Testament. This resulted in the greatest hypocrisy of the Anti-Catholic, Bible-Only People in the Protestant world. If the Catholic Church is as evil as you Extremist Protestants claim it is, then you must toss all of your Bibles into the trash ... and burn-away that remnant of the Catholic Church. However, without the Catholic Church's property, there would have been no Protestantism, in the first place.
Protestantism is the Religion Founded Upon Grand Larceny. In as much, there was NO Protestant Reformation. It was the PROTESTANT CONFISCATION of Catholic Church property, upon the command of a very small number of Northern European kings of the 16th Century. It was literally likened to a bird going into another bird's nest and knocking that bird out of his own nest.
The Other Salvation Checkpoints
Also integral for the salvation of every human who consents into entering the aisleway of salvation is:
[6] voluntary penitential supplications, as well as penitential cleansing, as is done through fasting & other "mortifications," [7] the Catholic Church's long history of charity organizations, [8] sacramentals which includes the Rite of Exorcism, [9] the Book of Psalms, the Book of Proverbs, & the Book of Sirach used in the Liturgy of the Hours, [10] retreats, meditation, and contemplation, [11] religious orders such as the Carmelites, Benedicts, Augustinians, Franciscans, and Dominicans, [12] the Examination of Conscience. In as much, in the Economy of Salvation, miracles are a bonus which actually provide extracurricular teaching lessons.
In review, the Virgin Mary was conceived by God in the immaculate state, due to the foreseen merits of Christ. She is a perpetual virgin who vowed her virginity pursuant to the Code of Moses. Her son, Jesus, is the Infinite & Divine Son of the Living God. Thus, Mary is the mother of God.
If you have trouble with this thought, then regard Mary as [1] the Mother of God-made-man, and/or [2] the Mother of God Incarnate, aka "Word Incarnate," and/or [3] the Mother of God-Among-Us, aka the Mother of Emanuel.
You can even call her [4] Mother of the Hypostatic Union. In fact, it was through the Archangel Gabriel that God the Father regarded her as "the highly favored daughter of the Most High." So, you can call her that title. Plus, as a result of the Annunciation of the Archangel Gabriel, Mary became "the Mystic Spouse of the Holy Spirit." That's another title of Mary.
Incidentally, the concept of Jesus being the Word of God was to convey the idea of Jesus being the WISDOM of God ... "the Logos" describes "the Utterance of God," aka "the Declaration made by God," or even the "Testimony of God." Something similar thereof.
Moreover, the Early Church Fathers regarded Mary as the Ark of the Covenant ... and the New Eve. Now, the name, Eve, is from the Jewish language's, Haya, meaning to live. Thus, Eve was called the Mother of all the Living. For the past 2,000 years, there has been a new Mother of all the Living. The problem is that numerous members of humanity have not yet gotten the message --- due to the oppression of certain governments.

| Honor your mother. Christ does. |
It was God who made that which ended up existing inside the Virgin Mary's body, attached the Virgin Mary's bloodstream. In fact, it was God ... through Gabriel ... who told Mary to name him Jesus. Mary didn't even create her own son's name. God did it for her.
All in all, there is a huge difference between being "a mother of someone" and being the "creator of someone." Keep in mind that the Blood of Christ came from the blood of Mary. Such a thing makes him very human and therefore very approachable. In the Virgin Mary, the Infinite integrated itself with Time. This makes Mary a very epic & cosmic crossroad ... intersection ... venue. This makes her far more cosmic than any hippie and any rock star of the 1960s & 1970s.
Honor Your Mother
Also keep in mind the law to "Honor your mother and father." Christ honored his mother in the way in which a divine king can do so. He did NOT cast her aside and ignored her in disrespect. She is definitely his queen and this is illustrated all throughout Heaven. She is definitely God the Father's most highly favored of all of the creations of God, and this too is illustrated throughout all of Heaven.
She is also the Spouse of the Timeless & Infinite Holy Spirit who intervened for the sake of mankind in the fullness of time. He he did so, by making Mary the center of his work. After all, making God man, in the person of Jesus of Nazareth, was the Holy Spirit's central work. Without Mary being immaculate, the Holy Spirit could not have done it. Without God the Father, Mary could not have been conceived in the immaculate state. Salvation was a team effort, on the part of the Holy Trinity.
Once again, it was God the Father who made Mary immaculate, in the first place. So, there is NO idolatry going on amongst people devoted to Mary. Rather, there is the fulfillment of Christ's Last Supper Command to "love one another as I have loved you." Thus, Catholics do not worship Mary in any capacity at all, whatsoever, in the least. Catholics love her. Catholics ask her to "pray for us sinners." Nowhere in the Hail Mary is there any mention of worshipping Mary as the Lord. In fact, it states that the Lord is with Mary. This proves that Catholics believe that someone other than Mary is Lord.
For those unaware in this era when religion was laid waster, the prayer starts as follows: Hail Mary, full of grace, the LORD is with you. Thus, Catholics NEVER claim that Mary is Lord. Rather, they claim that the LORD is with Mary ... and is therefore the cause of Mary's greatness ... meaning that Mary is the mirror who reflects God.
Moreover, it was God the Father who composed the first part of the Hail Mary, and it was the Holy Spirit who inspired St. Elizabeth to call out the second part of the same Hail Mary. See the opening chapters of the Gospel of Luke.
The words of the Archangel Gabriel to Mary, during the Annunciation, were the words of God the Father. After all, angels are the messengers of God. If you hate the Hail Mary, then you hate God the Father who composed its opening lines. And if you claim to be a saved Christian who hates the Hail Mary, then you are a soon-to-be-damned liar. God the Father does not bring into his kingdom those who hate him.
Mary is the ultimate Glory of God's grace-giving action. No grace ever given to Mary was ever wasted. Thus, Protestants blaspheme God by holding Mary in disrespectful disdain, in their thinking very little of her. Such persons think very little of grace.
Christ does NOT think very little of his own mom, and he does not appreciate it when Protestants do. But, of course, Christ never founded any Protestant church. He only founded one Church 2,000 years ago, and it was perpetuated through the centuries via Apostolic Succession. Any church established after that time is an imposter church ... a fraud ... a Synagogue of Satan.
The Three Personality Traits of the Evil One
Each of the three personalities of the Evil One is contrary to the predominate attribute of each person of the Holy Trinity. The three personalities existing in the first rebellious angel are named [1] Satan, [2] Lucifer, and [3] Beelzebub, the Lord of the Flies. Three names. Three personality traits. One person. Thus, this involves the three major definitions that describe the same one evil person who set himself in direct defiance against the THREE infinite persons of the Holy Trinity.
And remember, this evil person was created angel, comprising all spirit and no body. Spirits and angels are the same thing. It's only a matter of differentiating fallen angels from holy angels. Such a thing is known as Discernment. Discernment is a gift of the Holy Spirit. A college degree will not get for you discernment. However, being validly baptized will do so. In fact, baptism results in you receiving Infused Knowledge. Such a thing is an understanding of God and how beings in the universe go about their ways.
[1] The first person of the Holy Trinity is God the Father, predominately endowed with the power to CREATE, resulting from his compulsion toward generosity. Thus, he is the Creator.
The first personality trait of the Evil One is Satan, aka the prosecutor ... the condemner ... the accuser. The predominate personality trait of this personage is the power to destroy ... or to perform the role of Executioner. Thus, whereas God the Father is the Creator, Satan is the Destroyer. Satan is the Inversion of God the Father.
[2] The second person of the Holy Trinity is God the Son, He is the Great Amen who consents in all that the Eternal Father wills. His predominate attribute is WISDOM. He is the teller of truth and the bringer of inspiration. He is literally ... and NOT figuratively ... mankind's lifeline.
The second personality trait of the Evil One is named LUCIFER, the one created to be the carrier of light. Such light helps others to see truth clearly. Yet, due to Lucifer's rebellion, his predominate personality trait is that of a LIAR, via theatrics. He is the bringer of discord, and he casts shadows of dark mindedness throughout humanity. Instead of giving people impulses to do good, he gives temptations for people to sin. He is the inversion of God the Son. In as much, Satan is the Father of all Lies, and Lucifer is the Son of all Lies, thereby fulfilling Satan's will, all the while masquerading as an angel of light.
Just because you do NOT believe that Jesus is mankind's lifeline, it doesn't make it suddenly happen that he's not divine. After all, if a guy on the other side of Planet Earth doesn't believe that you exist, it doesn't make you stop existing. Your mind does NOT make reality. Reality came into existence without you. It's a matter of you magnetizing yourself to reality. This is actually known as the Gift of Infused Knowledge.
[3] The third person of the Holy Trinity is the Holy Spirit, and his predominant attribute is KINDNESS.
The third personality trait of the Evil One is called BEELZEBUB, the Lord of the Flies. And of course, flies are the ones who pay visits to beings, after death has been achieved in them. BEELZEBUB's predominant personality trait is CRUELTY, and he is the inversion of the Holy Spirit.
In conclusion, the Evil One is predominantly the Cruel & Deceptive Destroyer. In his cruelty, he distorts people. In his deceptiveness, he gets people to distort and destroy themselves. He is the destroying angel who sits on a throne of lies and whose motivation comes from seething cruelty. In sequence, his cruelty came from his sense of envy towards God-made-man. The temptations he casts upon you are designed to get you to destroy yourself and everyone else around you. He can't do it himself. He needs your help to do it ... to destroy you. The Evil One simply tricks people into destroying themselves.
