Thank you for this video. Yup. Fr. Ripperger is spot on and tons of real data to back him up.

[@IAMChristianMedia]

You’re welcome! Glad you enjoyed the clip.

[@evelynbare1975]

Wow. That is so sad. I see so many parallels with human endeavor and failure, with the accompanying reasons and excuses. The dark side of free will? It really drives home that if we aren't serving God, we are serving the other's purposes.

[@josephjackson1956]

This line of reasoning about demons having kind of a self hatred for themselves because by their primary nature were made to do a specific good task, yet in their free will they chose to do evil for all eternity makes sense why demons hate everything that God made and falls in line with God still making everyone and everything good. No evil comes from God, only the evil that comes from our free will from rejecting God. This is the problem of evil. We have a choice and we decide “not God”.

[@TheLastRockNRollerAlive]

This is interesting, you know this leads me to think of the topic of “the dark night of the soul.” If you are living a godly life, the soul becomes consumed by the spirit as you grow and take in the daily bread in the word. At the same time I also believe if one is very sinful, and rebelling against God, the dark night of the soul can be consumed by Satanic forces, and eclipse the soul, eclipse the consciousness. That’s why people don’t feel a sense of guilt when committing a great sin.

[@Thomist_Priest]

It makes sense, that the demons have a kind of natural instinct (or "assigned task") which they follow, even if they are no longer free to choose the good. They're like steam engines that have jumped the track, so to speak, and cannot travel in a straight line anymore; they cannot choose the good for which they were created or follow their native instincts. All of this makes good sense. St. Thomas' thought is clear cut, descriptive and explains a great deal about what creatures are endowed with by God. A kind of correlative insight is that sin creates a blindspot, throwing nature off so creatures can no longer follow that for which they were created. Nature that loses grace becomes debased, and creatures (spiritual or material, angelic or human) can access only that good which is no longer infused with divine directives.

[@docgillygun9531]

It must be an awful existence to be a demon. Knowing that no matter what they say or do, Satan will never love or really care for them, nor will they ever be able to experience the paradise that is God and Heavan. How miserable and hopeless that must be.

[@JWellsUp]

But they knew it and chose it. They chose it bc they didn’t want to serve a human being as queen the Virgin Mary and Jesus Christ. They wanted to be above humans which is why they hate humans so much.

[@utherlightbringer3868]

@6islifeeternal yeah they couldnt fathom why would God come in form a man with ultimate humility of not using His Power and be torn apart, die and resurrect just to save petty humans by offering that as free gift to us through belief in Him, fallen angels Hated God for that.. i also ask same question myself why would God save us, we are miserable self absorbed creatures in general..

[@inconspicuous-new--account]

Satan needs love. God may give love, but there is more to existence than simply taking things that are given to you. If you have the ability, you can give to others who need something. The demons merely need to recognise that everything is all one thing, a single perfect creation, indistinguishable from the thing they desire. This, they cannot do as principles, but they can do in a possession. It is about adapting gradually over time, to regain equilibrium. Neurological change and healing.

Hi Everyone Is there a way I can contact father Riperger

[@Toreadorification]

It's impossible to understand angelic minds, but if they rebel against God they will still need to serve satan. So what is the point since they will never be able to be independent anyway?

[@inconspicuous-new--account]

The point is that it is God's will. All that happens, does so by the will of God. Humans may not realise that, because they run around being sinful willynilly all over the place, but demons don't get the same sort of free will. They get the kind of free will that is exercised by people who are chained up.

[@sueadauctus3306]

Thank you Father. Why do they possess certain people? They all chose not to serve, like satan, and want to be worshipped?

[@Dienekes678]

They can possess certain people because those unfortunate people have given the demons a legal right to inhabit them through grievous sin. It is a mystery why God allows some to be possessed, while other people with perhaps worse sins are not possessed. The good Lord brings good from evil. Possession is a horrific, purification process and the person who comes out the far side of it nearly always lives a life dedicated to God.

[@chommie5350]

Because the people choose them

[@carlyncook1211]

Please enlighten me, oh Lord. If angels are created instantaneously, with perfect understanding, why choose the Devil? And i was always taught that free will is what divides the creation: angels are supremely power, and possessed of foreknowledge, but no free will. Thats why humans have free will, but very little in the way of actual spiritual power. Animqls are governed by the law of nature, with no free will. Such is the way and the reason the God Himself became both fully divine and fully human in Jesus, our Savior. Fully powerful, yet fully experiencing human form, in order to bring humanity closer to the blessed creator. If angels have free will ... why are we even here?

[@IAMChristianMedia]

Angels do have free will. Do see this article which may be helpful: www.catholic.com/qa/do-angels-have-free-will

[@ninagordon4434]

​@@IAMChristianMedia They no longer have "freewill" because of the Holy War in Heaven. The angels relinquished this when they chose to obey God completely. If demons had "freewill" why would they make the same choice to fall from grace? --- Their freewill is fixed

[@utherlightbringer3868]

@rdon4434 i am scared of that i dont trust myself i would rather my free will be taken away just to not offend God lol

[@inconspicuous-new--account]

Whilst I personally always had my focus firmly set on God, I can see that the Devil is an alternative option, like you might find in a two party political system. Obviously the Devil looks bad, because he is not in power, and the party in power has a huge propaganda machine, dedicated to demonising their opposition. The Devil has different priorities in his manifesto. God just figures everyone should sit around being happy and chilled out, and not worrying about stuff. However, that's a similar evolutionary path to the jellyfish. The Devil likes people to learn and develop, to increase their understanding, so they may grow and spread, in order to really explore this universe God has given us. Some people favour the Devil's agenda, rather than the chilling out stuff.

[@IAMChristianMedia]

His fault has always been trying to unduly claim what is belongs to God.

[@inconspicuous-new--account]

Personally, I think if your assigned task is to be Pestilence, then it is not that unreasonable, to not wish to have any part of it.

I have only one question: why?

[@IAMChristianMedia]

very mysterious.....why is what?🤔

[@JWellsUp]

They did not want to serve The Virgin Mary nor be underneath humans. They envied The Virgin Mary purity and title in heaven.

[@sueadauctus3306]

Why do they want in peoples' bodies?

[@IAMChristianMedia]

It is because they want to destroy anyone made in the image of God, who has the potential of spending eternity with God. This is a jealousy coming from their own damnation and eternal separation from God.

[@jt708083]

They of course believe in God from infused knowledge but they don't have faith as faith is not only believing in God but also believing in everything that God reveals to be true. Therefore even though they knew the penalty for rebelling against God they doubted and lied to themselves in their pride. Once they rebelled it soon became clear to themselves that things don't work in the manner they wanted it to be in their self deceit and became enraged because of the grave error they made causing themselves eternal misery. Lucifer rebelled because he wanted the place given to Our Holy Mother to be the most beautiful beyond compare to all of God's other creatures. They failed to comprehend that beauty in ones self does not involve wanting to be the most beautiful but in wanting and sacrificing ones self to make the beloved beautiful.

So, those babies seen in Hell by some visionaries cannot be human babies as our babies cannot go to Hell as are not in age of reason to sin. Those babies seen in Hell are fallen little angels.

its probably false vision same as false apparitions of Virgin Mary after She appeared in Fatima
