St Paul's miraculous power, along with his followers' use of 3rd class relics

St. Paul's writings have been used by millions of ... let us politely say ... anti-Catholics, to justify living the life of laziness & selectively retained immoralities.  According to them, St. Paul said that you can do whatever you want and go to Heaven anyway, as long as you proclaim belief in a certain Nazarene whose name has been repeatedly used in vain, on modern movie screens.  

Newsflash:  This just in ===> The exact same St Paul wrote exactly the opposite.  

Example #1:

                  Do you not know that the unjust will not inherit the kingdom of God? 

                 Do not be deceived; neither fornicators  nor idolaters   nor adulterers 

          nor boy prostitutes  nor sodomites  nor thieves  nor the greedy  nor drunkards 

                        nor slanderers  nor robbers will inherit the kingdom of God. --- 1 Cor. 6:9

Let it be repeated.  St Paul, the disciplined & self-controlled aesthetic, NEVER wrote that you can commit all the sins you want and still go to Heaven, so long as you express belief in the miraculous Nazarene who was crucified by Roman soldiers.  Yet, an entire religion that kept splintering into "denominations" was founded upon that one premise.  Concerning this overly audacious Biblical interpretation, when Paul wrote that he no longer followed the law, he was referring to the Law of Moses and its many rituals which included animal sacrifice.  He was NOT referring to the moral law.  In fact, he also wrote:

              Now the works of the flesh are obvious:  immorality,  impurity,  licentiousness, 

         idolatry,  sorcery,  hatreds,  rivalry,  jealousy,  outbursts of fury,  acts of selfishness, 

            dissensions,  factions,  occasions of envy,  drinking bouts,  orgies,  and the like.

                    I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things 

                                             will not inherit the kingdom of God.  ---  Galatians, 5:19

Equally important is that Romans 3:28 did NOT state that "Faith alone suffices."  The less than diplomatic Martin Luther added the word, "alone," changing the entire meaning of St. Paul's mission & ministry.  Martin Luther dedicated his beer-drinking (ale-drinking) years to promoting the Sin of Presumption --- the sin of presuming God's mercy. 

Yet today, all of the modern Protestant Bibles omit the "Luther translation," having published instead the Koine Greek version of Romans 3:28 that actually was written by Paul.  That scriptural passage simply stated that a person is justified by having  Faith in the Jewish Messiah of Nazareth without needing to perform the rituals of the Jewish Law of Moses which included animal sacrifice.  The actual translation is:

 For we consider that a person is justified by faith apart from works of the law.  Does God belong to Jews alone?  Does he not belong to Gentiles, too?  Yes, also to Gentiles, for God is one and will justify the circumcised on the basis of faith and the uncircumcised through faith.  --- Romans 3:28

In electing to revert to fidelity in the Koine Greek version of Romans 3:28, Protestant denominations elected to delete Protestantism's thesis statement.  They deleted Protestantism's raison d'etre.  This is tragically ironic, in light of the wars & killings which could have been prevented --- highlighted in the 30 Years War and in Cromwell's genocide of Irish Catholics, as well as in the severely emotional anti-Catholicism of 19th & early 20th Century America.

There is the need of millions of people to quit making a mockery out of Saint Paul's epistles.  Moreover, there is a canonized saint of recent decades who converted from Protestantism.  He famously stated that, the deeper you delve into history, the further you remove yourself from Protestantism.   The exact quote was, "To be deep in history is to cease being Protestant."  His name is John Henry Newman.  All in all, St. Paul ... and Elizabeth Ann Seton ... as well as John Henry Newman ... should be the patron saints of Protestant conversions.  That will work ... really well.

In order to rationalize its existence, Protestantism performed selective amnesia in discarding 1,100+ years of Church history ...  all deleted from the Protestant memory, being that there was no Protestantism on any scene for the first 1,450 years of Christianity.  Protestantism will acknowledge Christianity up to the time of the FIRST Council of Nicaea, in 325 C.E; but not the SECOND Council of Nicaea, in 787.  After the Year 325 comes the amnesia blackout in the mind of Protestantism.

Martin Luther wasn't born until 1,450+ years after the original Pentecost Sunday, when Peter first spoke publicly in the name of Christ.  According to Protestantism, God the Holy Spirit is a liar who was not guiding the believers of Christ for 1450 years.  According to Protestantism, Martin Luther is the Vicar of the Holy Spirit who finally brought the Holy Spirit to mankind.  Protestantism denies the reality of the very sacraments which divert souls from spiritual death and which give souls purpose for being.  Protestantism is the Big Blackout, in several ways.

Now, Protestantism got its beginning by . . . stealing massive amounts of Roman Catholic Church property, in places where they could get away with it . . . and by killing Roman Catholics by the truckload, in places where they could get away with it.  Now, is that any way to start a religion?  Is that any way to start anything?   None the less, Protestantism was largely a geopolitical movement with occasionally unseemly (unexpected allies.)  This meant that Protestantism was a political party.  Then, out of it came religious fanaticism.

All in all, there was NO REFORMATION in the 1500s.  There are only Theft & Murder back then .... and defamation; lots of defamation.  That which was called the Reformation was actually the Great Defamation ... even the defaming of God, in claiming that the Holy Spirit was a liar and a bumbling failure who didn't guide the Church for 1450 years --- in claiming that the Holy Spirit was such a failure that the German ale drinker, Martin Luther, had to replace the Holy Spirit.  

Yeah,  Martin Luther was going to show the Holy Spirit who was boss.  Guess where Martin Luther is at this very moment.  Did you ever study exorcism transcripts?  His name came up, when a possessing devil was ordered by the exorcist to give his name ... to the exorcist, during a 19th Century exorcism.  For the record, damned humans have the capability of possessing a living person as much as a demon.  A demon is a fallen angel.   A devil is a damned human.

Martin Luther died a sudden death (at the age of 62).  He died without the Sacraments of the Church.  He rejected the Sacraments of the Church.  Do the math, here. 

Let us now address the miraculous power of Saint Paul which was somehow transmitted into linens and aprons whenever they touched St. Paul, himself.   Acts 19: 11-12 reads as follows:

                              So extraordinary were the mighty deeds which God accomplished 

                             at the hands of PAUL that, when facial cloths or aprons that 

                            touched his skin were applied to the sick, their diseases left 

                           them and the evil spirits came out of them. 

Now, Acts 19 describes the valid & successful use of Third Class Relics -- or third degree relics.  Such relics are pieces of cloth or other physical items such as paper that are touched to an actual living saint or to the bodily remains of a saint who has already gone into eternity.   

Of course, the Church never declares any living being a saint.  None the less, people in the Church, on occasion, were known for miraculous results to their interactions with others.  It doesn't happen everyday, but it did happen in the very turbulent history of the true church of Christ ... as opposed to a "knock-off" church produced by Henry Tudor, his less-than-friendly daughter, Martin Luther & the politically motivated Elector of Saxony, the Swiss John Calvin, and more recent names who became associated with mass suicide and/or gun battles with federal agents.

Of course, a person who identifies himself as "a born-again Christian" or a Baptist or a Fundamentalist or someone "saved" would call the use of relics the ritualistic act of idolatry.   Well, to declare this is to declare St. Paul a ritualistic idolater.  In fact, it's to call the New Testament ritualistic idolatry.  This is because the use of third-class relics were used to spread Saint Paul's miraculous power.  Therefore, relics are Biblical.  The Catholic tradition of employing saints' relics traces itself back to St. Paul's followers.

The Old Testament gives at least one instance of a miracle involving a First Class Relic --- or first degree relic.  That type of relic is the actual saint, himself; as in a bone fragment, etc.  In the Second Book of Kings, a miracle occurred when a corpse was thrown into the grave of Elijah's prime student and spiritual heir, Elisha. 

2 Kings  13:21

 Once some people were burying a man, when suddenly they saw such a raiding band.  So they cast the man into the grave of Elisha, and everyone went off.  But when the man came in contact with the bones of Elisha, he came back to life and got to his feet.

 Thus, miracles done upon contacting a first class relic IS very Biblical.  So, if you are no-no on relics, then you are also no-no on the Bible, probably unbeknownst to you ... until now.  Now, concerning the Cloak of Elijah:

2 Kings 2:14: 

Wielding the mantle which had fallen from Elijah, he struck the water and said, “The LORD, the God of Elijah—where is he now?”   He struck the water.  It divided, and he crossed over.   Elijah's prime student did this with Elijah's cloak, so stated for the record.

Elijah's Cloak was a Second Class Relic.  A second-class relic is a former physical possession of a saint.  Examples are a writing quill, a walking cane, a favorite chair, an article of clothing, and Elijah's Cloak.   With this comes the conversation of metaphysical power which can be a lengthy topic.  HOWEVER, all angels have a METAPHYSICAL attachment to physical creation, and they perhaps come into the relic schematic, in matters involving second-class relics effecting miracles.

 Of course, Catholics understand that not everything is in the Bible, being that St. John wrote this into his Gospel.  Plus, Paul told his followers to also observe that which he taught them verbally, in addition to whatever written teachings were sent to them.  Verbal teaching is usually called, TRADITION.

Tradition comes from none other than the Latin, TRADITIONEM.  It means to deliver across something ... to hand-over ... to hand down.   The Greek equivalent is parádosi̱ which actually means to surrender something to others. 

2 Thessalonians 2:15

                       Therefore, brothers, stand firm and hold fast to the traditions that

                 you were taught, either by an ORAL STATEMENT or by a letter of ours.

                *************************************************************

Thus, TRADITION --- church teaching that comes from outside of the Bible ---  is Biblical, ironically enough.  The Bible is NOT God.  It's a testimonial to the existence of God and to the mindset of God.  Mindset is understood to be the same as "personality."  Moreover, the Law of God and the Will of God are the exact same thing.  To claim that "everything is in the Bible," is the sin of  IDOLATRY.  It's the worship of the Bible, instead of God.

Moreover, being that God is so infinitely massive, the task of being God cannot be accomplished by merely one person.  It takes three infinite persons to accomplish the mission of being God ... literally.  In as much, in order for God to exist, God can only exist as a multiplicity of Three Individual Persons who share the exact same essence and nature.

Also see: http://www.theheartofmary.com/2011/08/comparing-holy-trinity-to-song.html

While we're still here, let's address the claim that it's a sin to call a priest, "father."  After all, Jesus did say to call no one your father, but God the Father.  Well, the Catholic Church does recognize God the Father to be the Unmoved Mover ... and the Uncatalyzed Catalyst ... who authored life and wrote the blueprint of the only Church ever founded by his only Begotten Son.  The use of the name, father, as it applies to priests, has a lesser meaning of the word.  And that practice came from St. Paul, himself.   In the FIRST Letter to the Thessalonians, Chapter 2, verses 10 to 12, Saint Paul wrote:

                               You are witnesses, and so is God, how devoutly,  justly,                                                                       and blamelessly we behaved toward you believers.

              As you know, we treated each one of you as a FATHER treats his children,  

            exhorting and encouraging you, while insisting that you conduct yourselves 

                      as worthy of the God who calls you into his kingdom and glory.

 

The conclusion is that calling a priest "Father" IS BIBLICAL.  Case Closed.  Catholic haters lose.  The bottom line is that some people think that they know the mind of God & the Will of God, when the fact is that they are clueless.  Concerning people who don't read the Bible at all, they are more talented at insulting a person's intelligence.  Each example of this would be an article of its own.  

 

None the less, the aforementioned shows --- at face value --- that the Biblical Paul --- the author of multiple epistles --- had a significant influence upon the ordinary practices of the Catholic Church.  Catholic haters are not willing to admit this.  The Catholic Church was the first Christianity.  It will be the last Christianity, also.

 

C'est tout, pour maintenant.

Comparing the Holy Trinity to a Song, a Chant, or a Hymn as well as Comparing Him to a Waterfall with a Radiating Mist

The following comes from:  1} St. Bonaventure's Spiration (his teaching on the

eternal interaction between the persons of the Trinity,)  2} St. Thomas Aquinas'

writings on the essence &  attributes of God, and 3} St. Catherine of Siena's men-

tion of transformative love.  If this article fails to achieve understanding, then it's

the fault of the writer (yours truly,) and not the aforesaid doctors of the church.

It's important to first know that the mystery of love is that of in transforming in-

to the object of your love.   In the Holy Trinity, the Father eternally transforms

into the Son and the Son eternally transforms into the Father.   This transforma-

tion is the Holy Spirit, itself.  Now, if one were to describe a basic outline of the

Trinity, by means of comparing him to a song, then one would start by stating:

The first infinite person of the Trinity begins
by generating the lyric: 
               
                Let there be light.

The second infinite person of the Holy Trinity
simultaneously requites the generated light, by
radiating a tone of understanding and consent
which says: 
                             So be it

     The light is the Holy Spirit himself.

Within the Holy Spirit is the living fulfillment of every ideal embraced by the first
infinite person of the Trinity.   The ideals of God are not inanimate.  They're living
realities, living in the Holy Spirit.   They're not air headed "happy thoughts."  They
are a designed set of aspirations and preferences willed to be in existence.  In order
for such aspirations and ideals to be perfect, they must be actualized.  They must be
living.  They are the Holy Spirit, himself.  They're God's personality traits and God's
essence simultaneously.

The attributes of God include the virtues of fidelity and generosity, as well as kind-
ness and honesty.  They are humility and gratitude, as well as fortitude and fidelity.
They are equally justice and temperance, as well as mercy and generosity, existing
in equal fraternity.  It's not that God is full of virtue.  Rather, God IS virtue; the to-
tality of virtue acts in essence, infinitely existing and all at once.  Plus, within God
there is no conflict.

Divine Love is also known as Agape, (pronounced awe-gah-pay.)   Being that the
ideals of God the Father are living realities existing in one spirit, this means that
God is the infinite perfection of every virtue in existence simultaneously transpir-
ing in one being.   The aspect of God being living virtue, acting out all virtue, in-
finitely so, was explained by Thomas of Aquinas. 

Each infinitely radiating ideal is given the full consent of the second person of the
Trinity.  The second person was the inspiration for these ideals to exist.  That is to
say that the second person was the motivation for the Eternal Father's thoughts of
virtue.  In fact, the second person of the Holy Trinity is the First person's reason
for being.  If the second person of the Trinity didn't exist, the first person of the
Trinity wouldn't have been motivated to exist.

Each ideal, such as kindness, is the essence of the Holy Spirit himself.  Now, for
the finite human mind in the fallen state of original sin to comprehend the myst-
ery of the Holy Trinity is no different than attempting to place an ocean in a sand
bucket.  The most that we can do on Earth is make sand castles on the shoreline.

The general lyrics in the song of the Holy Trinity are a chorus:

First Person ------- Let there be light.    
Second Person --- I witness it to be good and I consent in it being.
First Person ------ Let there be the infinite perfection of every virtue.  
Second Person --- So be it in an unbroken collection.
First Person ------ Let it be alive in one Spirit.   
Second Person --- Let it radiate through me.

That's the paraphrased version of the Song of the Holy Trinity.  Now, the accom-
panying music to that song is of an untold quality, where the Father empties him-
self into his Eternal Son, somewhat like a waterfall.   The Holy Spirit happens to
be the water.

When comparing the Holy Trinity to a waterfall, the first person of the Trinity
becomes the light refracting throughout the water, while the second person of
the Trinity is the spray of that waterfall, making the droplets look like deeply
colored gems of a majestic quality.   It's music with infinite sustain, and there
is a gentleness to it, amidst majesty and deep tones.   If you ever come hear it,
your life will never be the same again.

A replacement word for "So Be It" is Amen.  This is why Jesus is referred to as  
the Amen  in the Book of Revelations, at the third chapter ... Verse 14, if you're
curious.  In fact, he is referred to as the Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, and
the Source of God's Creation.   He consents in the Father's Will and then makes it
happen.   He requites the same person's spirations ... aspirations and inspirations.
The Holy Trinity is the one able to be in the state of being without outside help.
_________________________________________________________________

The reason why God can only exist as a Trinity

Understanding the mystery of the Trinity with our finite
 minds is like trying to put an ocean into a beach pail.

How do you begin to write about someone who has no beginning?

Very simply, you enter into the midst of the person's being and describe the

activity occurring in the present tense.  That which is currently transpiring in

the Eternal God is that which has been occurring forever.

In eternity, there has always been one person with neither a beginning nor an

end who has been generating forth from his own essence an action which in-

cludes, but is not limited to, Charity.  (Note:  I don't use the word, love, when

speaking of spirituality, being that, in today's society, love is equated with Eros;

the erotic.)

This one person is the first infinite person of existence;  the first person of the

Holy Trinity.  Translated into human language, that which is spiritually being

spoken from this person is, "Let there be light."  So, what is this light?  This

light is every virtue in existence occurring simultaneously.

This endless action includes, but is not limited to, Charity, is:

1] an act of will ------ as opposed to uncontrolled motions, imposed by an

                                   inanimate force.

2] an act of desire --- where the desire was first inspired by the one desired.

3] an act of consent - liberating the desire to the point of transforming it into

                                   a living reality.

4] an act of power --- enabling the desire to be fulfilled in reality and actuality.

5] a command -------- testifying to the necessity of having the power liberated.

6] a way of being ---- living out that which is commissioned in the command.

7]  transformative --- in being a Charity (an Agape) so impactful that it makes

                                   you never the same again.

What is power?   ANS: Power is the ability to make things happen and to get

                            things accomplished.  Those governed must have the power

                            to abide by the command of the one in power, or the one

                            making the command will be powerless.  Thus, the second

                            infinite person of all existence already needed the power to

                            respond to that which the first infinite person generated to

                            him.  That power had within itself the power to inspire the

                            first infinite person of existence to generate his spiration of

                            Divine Charity and all other virtue, in the first.

 In light of this reality, as the way of God's being reflectively translates into

human life, power per se is NOT a trickle-down Reaganomics affect.  Rather,

power is something reciprocal.  Proof that even human power is reciprocal ex-

ists in the revolutions that plagued humanity throughout history, most of which

were triggered by the injustices of those in power.

                            In like fashion, the second infinite person of existence needed

                            the power to respond to that which the first person generated

                            to him.

In as much, a virtue is the power to let Being perpetuate forever.  The possession

of a virtue is the possession of a power that prevents the occurrence of nothing-

ness; that prevents the negation of being.  All in all virtue is a power that pre-

vents privation.   It prevents one from committing acts which lead to spiritual

death.  Thus, if God ever sinned, God would stop existing.

The first endless person of all existence has always had the power to keep his

own essence in perpetual existence.  This is known as being self-efficient.

This means that God is non-causative.  Nothing outside of God caused God

to be.

Concerning God's power, it's the power of existence which is equal to the

power to be forever free from the danger of entering into nothingness.  In

as much, God is properly described as He Who Is and  I AM - the one in

whom there is 1] the absence of nothingness, 2] the complete absence of

inaminateness,  3] the absence of frivolous vanity and pointlessness.

In God, there are neither any lapses of consciousness nor blind-spottedness.

Being that there is no pointlessness in God, there has to have always been

a reason for the first infinite person of all existence to have been radiating

forth his spiration of all virtue, in the first.  There had to have originally

been a reason for God to exist, being that God's existence was no accident.

God's existence is not happenstance.  He was motivated to exist and spirate

every virtue in existence.  Without the first infinite person's Reason for Be-

ing, the first infinite person of existence wouldn't have had any reason to

exist, and therefore, he would not exist.  Neither would we.

God's Reason for Being

The reason d'etre of the first person of all existence is none other than another

infinite person of all existence who has existed eternally, also.  In the infinite

spacelessness of eternity, this second infinite person is the one who consents

in the virtues that exude from the first infinite person.

The decisive truth in the second infinite person of existence is that he was the

one who inspired the first person to spirate virtue in the first place.  He inspired

the first infinite person to be.  Thus, the second infinite person of existence had

power; the power to inspire the first infinite person to be.  This teaches us that

power is reciprocal.  The power of the first infinite person is therefore equal to

the power of the second infinite person of existence.

Without the second infinite person of existence to inspire the first infinite person,

there would be no infinite person spirating forth any virtue, especially in light of

the fact that there must be a second person in existence to receive the simultane-

ous spirations.  This means that the Second Person of the Holy Trinity is not sub-

servient to the first person.  Father and Son are equal in power, as well as essence.

The Divine Chorus

The most proper human name for the first person of all existence would be none

other than God the Father, aka the Eternal Father; the one who initiated the spira-

tion of Charity and all other virtues..  In as much, the most proper human title to

give the second infinite person of existence is God the Son.  This is because all

that is the Father has been generated to the second infinite person of existence.

The second person inherited the Eternal Father's divinity and infinite virtue.

The second person is the sole heir to all which is the Eternal Father.  They

have the exact same spiritual DNA.  The second person then can generate

that which his father sent to him, making him a spiritual father, as opposed

to spiritual mother.  He is a son who can perform the generating acts of a

spiritual father, as opposed to being a daughter who radiates virtue but does

not generate it.

From all eternity, in his consolidated infinite action, the Eternal Father has been

saying, "Let there be light."  God the Son simultaneously responds by saying,

"So be it."  God the Son requites every current of charity and virtue generated

by the Eternal Father back to the same Eternal Father.

Now, the synonym for So-be-it is Amen.  In the Book of Revelations, John the

Apostle records a vision that he had of the Second Person of the Trinity.  In that

vision the second person describes himself as the Great Amen.  After all, he is

the one who, in eternity, said so-be-it to the command, "let there be light."  He

simultaneously let the Will of the first infinite person of existence be fulfilled

in him.

More specifically, the second person of existence requites the charity that the

first person sends him.  In the process, both persons infinitely go through a

transformation which is complete, but eternal.  That is to say,  they are not

presently being transformed.  Rather, they have already been transformed

and are radiating the currents of accomplished transformation.

One God, One Reason for Being

Moreover, being that God is one, there is only one reason for God to have

been inspired enough to exist in the first place.  This reason for God's being

is the second infinite person of all existence.

The Third Infinite Person of all Existence

Even the virtues that are being generate from God comprise a living being.

Firstly, in God their is no lifelessness.  Even God's thoughts are alive in one

being.  The virtues which generate from God the Father and God the Son

are alive.  This is the Holy Spirit.  Properly speaking, the Holy Spirit is the

sum total of every virtue in existence being exchanged being the Father and

the Son.

In light of this, it is not as proper to state that God loves you as much as God

is Charity itself.  In sequence,  God is not merely faithful, as much as God is

fidelity itself.  Therefore, God is Truth & Kindness, endless innocence &

eternal heroism, along with infinite prudence and uncreated wisdom.  God

is also humility, fortitude, temperance, generosity, meekness, and mercy.

All in all, God did not create angels and mankind out of loneliness.  Rather,

God created angels and mankind out of generosity.

The Anti-Trinity: A Ferocious Liar & Demon with Dissociative Personality Disorder and the Seething Compulsion to Annihilate All of Mankind

Behind Door #1, Door #2, & Door #3 are three distinct personality traits of evil.  Yet, they're dreadfully similar.

Their Raison d'Etre, aka their Reason for Being . . . evil

The sole goal of the entire demonic world, as it applies to humanity, is to trick humans into destroying themselves.  The sole motivation of this desire was & is envy.  Envy kills.  But, the demonic world cannot kill off humanity on its own power.  The demons need humans to do it for them.  The servants of demons, therefore, are the ultimate Useful Idiots.   It's that simplex.

Summary --- Three Alter Egos in one Spiritual Being who wanted to be God

Satan, Lucifer, and Beelzebub are different names for the same one person.  That person is known as the Evil One.  In fact, that person is more popularly known as the Devil.  Now, he/it was classically given the title, the Great Red Dragon.  However, as far as goes the classical  title, Ancient Serpent, it symbolizes the entire demonic world, where each demon is one vertebrae of the spiritual serpent.

The first three names mentioned above define a specific personality trait in this Evil One.  He was created angel and was endowed with exceptional gifts.  However, his giftedness became his downfall.  He thought so highly of himself that he wanted to be worshipped as the central focal point of everyone's existence.  He was made to be the Carrier of Light, but he wanted to be God instead.  He wanted to be as glorious as God, with him replacing God.  So, in punishment, the Trinity fragmented the Evil One's mind into three personality traits.  The three traits are the opposite of each major attribute of each person of the Holy Trinity.  

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.

Each of the three personality traits of the Evil One is the antithesis of the one predominant attribute of each one of the three persons of the Trinity.  It goes as follows:

First  --- Being the Calculating Destroyer by first being a Pathological Liar

God the Father's attribute is Generosity guided on the rails of Harmony & Proportionality.  His motive has always been to honor an already existent Truth.  Predictably enough, the already-existent Truth is the second person of the Trinity.  God the Father simply wanted to share this living truth ... namely the Son of God ... with others.  After all, he did not want to selfishly keep the Son of God to himself.  So, he created "the others," endowing them with reason and free will.   This translates into God the Father being Creator.

Whereas God the Father is predominately the Creator, the Satan personality trait of the Evil One is the Destroyer; even the Executioner.  After all, Satan does mean accuser & prosecutor.  

All in all, Satan is the Inversion of God the Father.  This makes the Satan personality trait the first person of the Anti-Trinity.  Whenever God creates someone or something, the Evil One responds by wanting to destroy --- or at the very least --- to distort that which God created.  The desire to distort translates into Satan being a Pathological Liar.  After all, a lie is a distortion of the truth.  

Incidentally, the two classical synonyms of "Destroyer" are Abaddon (Hebrew) & Apollyon (Greek).

Second --- The constantly morphing ambusher, dressed in alternating camouflage

Whereas God the Son is the Way & the Truth, the Lucifer personality trait is the trait of a theatrical showman who manifests himself differently, during each exorcism where he does make an appearance.  He camouflages himself in different ways, for each performance.  He no longer radiates the light of Wisdom into anyone.  He only seeks to cast dark mindedness throughout  mankind, to the point of making mankind the most deadly enemy of mankind.  He sits in preparation, ready to ambush the minds & senses of humans, causing doubt or paranoia in them, as well as lust, arrogance, and even violent disregard for other humans. 

As the Second Personality of the Anti-Trinity, Lucifer seeks to sow alienation & animosity between the members of humanity.   And of course any history student can see that the history of mankind is the history of war after war after war after war, along with the traditional raping, pillaging, plundering, and enslaving.   Yet, this is always preceded by . . . DECEIVING OTHERS.  

More Specifically, the history of mankind is [1] Invade & Attack.  [2] Pillage, Rape, and Plunder.  [3] Enslave the Survivors.  [4] Take Inventory of the Property of the Dead.  [5]  Repeat Cycle, over & over again & again.   This means that Lucifer has been quite successful at his many endeavors upon the human mind.

In brevity, the history of mankind is Kill, Rape, Pillage, Plunder, and Enslave.  Accompanying these acts is always - - - The telling of lies, to rationalize & justify the wholescale crimes.  Today, this is known as Spreading Propaganda.  In as much, there is an obvious answer to the question, "Are there more people Heaven or in Hell?"  Simply study the history of mankind and do the math.

Third --- A bully with the urge to devour others until they reach total non-existence.

Finally, whereas God the Holy Spirit is predominantly Kindness itself, the Beelzebub personality trait is that of Cruelty.   Now, the Cruelty sprung forth from Envy.  This cruelty defines the Evil One as the Father of Bullies, when acting in the mindset of Beelzebub, the Lord of the Flies.  And of course, wherever there is death on Earth, there are flies.  If Beelzebub had his way, he would decompose your soul into full obliteration ... just like flies on the cadavers of wild animals in the woods. 

Being that he is the inversion of the Holy Spirit, Beelzebub is the third personality trait of the fractured Anti-Trinity.  Very simply, the Lord of the Flies is a marauder who seeks to Lord-it over everybody.  He is the ultimate Control Freak.

The Anti-Trinity is basically a highly gifted angel who became a fallen one.  He is now void of sanctifying grace and is weighted with the burden of dissociative personality disorder, as well as a vengeful hatred toward mankind simply for existing.  

The Evil One is the ultimate racist who hates the Human Race.  Yet, he is still a very successful danger to an easily deceived humanity.  He carries the power to twist, to distort, to deceive, and to manipulate violent outcomes.   Now, no demon has the power to make you no longer exist.  Your soul & spirit don't get annihilated into non-existence.  But, demons can get you to give them the power to have you exist in a mangled & disproportionate way.

                                                  End of the Introductory Summary.

If you ever read St. Augustine, you'll know why any ocean is symbolic of the Holy Trinity.

Now, in more detail.

We proceed to the Unmoved Mover ... the Boundless Catalyst ... the Undivided God

The Uncreated & Eternal Trinity is three distinct persons in one essence.  This essence has full cognizance ... aka awareness & intelligence.   It does not exist as a mindless cosmic force that doesn't even know that it exists.  

This living essence neither has a beginning nor an end.  Simultaneously, this divine essence is transcendent & imminent.  That is to say, this essence is untouched by any material substance and it's not confined by space.  It's simultaneously timeless, as well.  Yet, this same essence is in all things in that it is INVOLVED in all things.

The Distorter

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.

Also concerning those in the Protestant world who abhor the phrase, "Mother of God," as if Mary created God, know this:  No human mother ever created her child.  Yet, each woman who brought forth the life that was actually created by God in her is still the mother of each of her children.  Therefore, Mary is the mother of Jesus who happens to be God, even though Mary did not create Jesus.  Thus, no Catholic believes that Mary created God.  God created Mary.  In fact, God creates each child's soul inside each mother, individually ... every single time ... throughout the history mankind.  Thus, God is still the Active Creator.   

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.
