Grigori Rasputin: The Devil Incarnate

Grigori Rasputin was a Russian peasant who claimed to have mystic healing powers, and he even went so far as to say he was the second coming of Christ. He formed his own cult, and even manipulated the members of the royal Romanov family into believing he truly was a holy man.

Rasputin 'The deviL N'carnate'?? (Highly Quest'ion-able) This man was given the great responsibility 2 try 2 seek health 4 a Countress' son who was deathly ill:( @ that time N his-tory people were commonly taking Aspirin 4 EVERYTSING. *However, it was acknowledged & realized that IF Rasputin had given Aspirin, this would have KILLED this woman's son. Gregori was will N'formed & led by successful healing forces: however his superego convinced him that his services N'titled him 2 more than a sincere 'TY'. So the devil showed up N Rasputin when he gave place N'stead of fighting the good fight of faith. Now days, people (Simon Cowell took his best friend's wife) {Song 4 The Occasion from Motley Crue singing '..my dad with my best friend's wife..'} R following the same backstabbing vulture path with the N'tertainment N'dustry agg'ing this B'havior on soap operas ALWAYS:( If Rasputin was the deviL N'carnate: then the woods R full of such varments

There were other times: Rasputin used to try to use his influence with the Tzar to stop the numerous violent pogroms being committed against the Jews in Russia: it made him enemies in the court of the Tzar. I think Rasputin is one of the most difficult historical personalities to come to any definite conclusions about: whether he was a good or evil man, or both, some have said he was demonized and slandered intentionally by his enemies but I don't know. I plan on reading the biography of him that was written by his own daughter. He stank though, you can take that to the bank.

Guys, If the story is true then he is a saint. He tried to stop war, he healed his son, he prophesied his death and warned that entire Tsar family will be killed.

5:15 I'm sorry but that is THE spitting image of what i would imagine the literal devil taking human form. His stare is even more terrifying than Kenneth Copelands face and grin.

[@TheOnlyHollywood1]

I find Kenneth Copeland to be more nightmare inducing. That stare is unnerving, but the grin of the evangalists are much more terrifying

[@LaurieAnnCurry]

And that my friend, is saying a great deal.

[@lolilollolilol7773]

They both look completely deranged. They are both sect leaders and grifters. Rasputin was more ambitious and successful though. Think Charles Manson being a close advisor to the president and all his family.

He said that illiador confessed to the first assassination attempt in a autobiography so my guess is no one knew until he wrote it in his autobiography Let me be clear this is a not so educated guess so talk it with a mountain of salt

Illiodor eventually made his way to America eventually where he was relatively safe. He admitted his claims against Rasputin were exaggerated 💁🏼. Rasputin’s daughter moved to Hollywood and became a lion tamer. Fair dinkum

casco rick Why do people like you feel so obligated to insult the religious? It does not reflect well on irreligious people, and certainly simply insulting God is not going to lead anyone away from him. There is actually pretty serious evidence for the existence of a God and Jesus Christ on a philosophical and scientific level, and opinions are not often just formulated because people tell others to believe such things, you do know.

[@DanielKeithMorrison]

That explains why they used Rasputin the way they did in the Kingsmen movie. Pretty on point lol.
