Follow up on Video Footage question.
            QUESTION from John on May 30, 2004

You said:

"St. Paul tells us to think upon things of excellence and purity. Do not contaminate your mind with such images when you do not need to."

Yet, you also said "Yet these things have not increased people's belief in the devil".

Eh? If people can't even get access to this "footage", then how can it "increase" people's "belief" in the devil? Why not just show everyone this footage so they believe? If it's REAL, I am sure it would spark a second thought in every non-believer's eyes.

By the way, the motive behind me wanting this footage is to find an answer to a question I desire answered: does a spiritual realm exist?

No, I don't want any alternatives, thanks.

Dear John:

You have fallen for one of the devil's favorite tricks. The devil would love to convince people that they will believe in his existence if only one watches some movie that rapes your mind.

The Bible answers this very well Luke 16:19-31:

19 "There was a rich man, who was clothed in purple and fine linen and who feasted sumptuously every day. 20 And at his gate lay a poor man named Lazarus, full of sores, 21 who desired to be fed with what fell from the rich man's table; moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. 22 The poor man died and was carried by the angels to Abraham's bosom. The rich man also died and was buried; 23 and in Hades, being in torment, he lifted up his eyes, and saw Abraham far off and Lazarus in his bosom. 24 And he called out, 'Father Abraham, have mercy upon me, and send Lazarus to dip the end of his finger in water and cool my tongue; for I am in anguish in this flame.' 25* But Abraham said, 'Son, remember that you in your lifetime received your good things, and Lazarus in like manner evil things; but now he is comforted here, and you are in anguish. 26 And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been fixed, in order that those who would pass from here to you may not be able, and none may cross from there to us.' 27 And he said, 'Then I beg you, father, to send him to my father's house, 28 for I have five brothers, so that he may warn them, lest they also come into this place of torment.' 29 But Abraham said, 'They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.' 30 And he said, 'No, father Abraham; but if some one goes to them from the dead, they will repent.' 31 He said to him, 'If they do not hear Moses and the prophets, neither will they be convinced if some one should rise from the dead.'"

If they do not hear Moses and the prophets, neither will they be convinced if some one should rise from the dead.

We have the prophets, the Apostles, the Church and the Bible to instruct us on the existence of God and the devil. If people will not listen to those sources, then neither will they be convinced if they saw a movie of demonic worship and sacrifice.

Let go of you misplaced curiosity.

God Bless,
Bro. Ignatius Mary
