Episode 1418: Recognizing Temptation

You know we tend to go through life oblivious to the temptation around us. Our humanistic society has taught us the devil realty doesn’t exist and no body really goes to hell and so temptation is just an old fashion belief. So live it up without any caution. Or if people admit they believe in the devils temptation they can handle it just fine. No need for prayer or intercession from the angels, saints and the blessed mother. That’s too old-fashioned. I am in control. HA! The Devil will and is sifting you like wheat and yah don’t even know it.

We even have a number of Catholic bishops and cardinals who have stated that people do not go to hell. Some of the most notable include:

Cardinal Walter Kasper: In a 2014 interview, Kasper said that he did not believe that hell was a place of eternal punishment, but rather a state of separation from God. He said that "hell is not a place, but the state of being deprived of God's love."
Bishop Thomas Gumbleton: Gumbleton, a retired auxiliary bishop of Detroit, has been a vocal critic of the traditional Catholic teaching on hell. He has said that he believes that hell is "a myth" and that "no one goes there."
Cardinal Carlo Martini: Martini, the former archbishop of Milan, said in a 2005 interview that he did not believe that hell was a literal place, but rather a "symbol of the absence of God." He said that "hell is not a place where people are punished, but rather a state of being without God."
These are just a few examples of Catholic bishops and cardinals who have questioned the traditional teaching on hell. Their views have been controversial, but they have also sparked a much-needed discussion about the nature of hell and the possibility of salvation for all.
Well lets she what Christ and the Apostles said about this matter.
here are some examples in the New Testament where Christ and the apostles spoke about temptation, hell and Satan's power:
Matthew 4:1-11: This passage describes the temptation of Jesus by Satan in the desert. Jesus was tempted to turn stones into bread, to throw himself down from the temple, and to worship Satan. Jesus resisted all of these temptations, and he emerged from the desert stronger and more confident in his mission.
Luke 10:18-20: In this passage, Jesus tells his disciples that he has seen Satan fall like lightning from heaven. This passage shows that Satan is a real and powerful force, but that he is no match for the power of Jesus Christ.
Mark 16:15-18: In this passage, Jesus gives his disciples the Great Commission, which includes the command to "go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation." Jesus also tells his disciples that they will be persecuted, but that they will not be overcome by Satan.
Ephesians 6:10-18: This passage describes the spiritual battle that Christians face against Satan and his forces. Paul tells Christians to put on the full armor of God so that they can stand against the wiles of the devil.
1 Peter 5:8-9: In this passage, Peter tells Christians to be sober-minded and watchful, because their adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. Peter encourages Christians to resist the devil, and to submit themselves to God.

These are just a few examples of the many passages in the New Testament that speak about temptation, hell and Satan's power. These passages remind us that Satan is a real and powerful force, but that he is no match for the power of Jesus Christ. But but but and these are very important buts! They also remind us that we must be vigilant in our battle against temptation, and that we must always rely on the power of God to overcome. We can’t just walk into temptation and commit sin that offends God and state “Well I am only Human”.
Yes you are only Human and yes God created you with free will but also please remember why you were born. This is your test to fight your human nature and pick the City of God and not the City of Man where the devil rules. Be strong against your own Inconstancies as we say in the novena to OPM
But let’s listen to the good Fr Penida because he does a much better job than I. I may teach but he will preach.
