I know the devil exists, but I trust in God. If, for example, you start living in a devilish way and then in a Christian way, you will notice that you perceive, feel and react to the same things in a radically different way. What you saw before was an unbearable irritant and what you liked happens the other way around. It's as if you had a curtain in front of your eyes that presented the world around you in a radically different way. And if you've lived a hell of a long time, analyzing how things went, you'll find that nothing happened by accident and everything was interconnected and planned to drag you as low as possible. Another thing I can give you is that if a person strives to live a Christian life, and has the power to overcome a temptation and overcome it, it no longer tempts him for a while. But if he succumbs to it and commits a sin, then things change. He has no choice but to do it over and over again and can't stop no matter how hard he tries. He is forced, he becomes a slave to sin. And before that he was not a slave to sin and could overcome it with his own will. How does this work? To get rid of these shackles you will have to repent, fight confession and receive communion. That is why it is said that the most dangerous sin is that which is committed freely, voluntarily, without compulsion from the passions. He knew it was bad, but he just decided to give it a try. Other things - I saw a dark shadow in the air, and objects were falling around me for no reason. An ex-prostitute also told me how demons had inhabited her and what she had dreamed and done. How do spells work? Someone has to confuse, make sick or hurt that person. May God not allow a person to be deceived and engaged in divination, magic, bullet casting, communication with the dead, divination and other similar things. Even doing so out of ignorance will suffer a lot, and I don't think he knows what is written in the Bible about these things and still does them. Anyone who has ever touched these things will confirm to you that they have experienced extremely bad things since then. You can also see for yourself, but you can lose your soul with it.

In my opinion, in the distant past the devil was invented in order for the masses to be able to explain more easily why someone behaves badly / badly / negatively / inappropriately. Which, of course, is stupid, especially in my opinion. But the table should have been plowing and sowing the fields and looking after the cattle, not philosophizing ... which, in my opinion, is also stupid, because the two things can be combined. It's just that the people 'up there' don't have the benefit of the mass thinking too much, that's why in previous centuries religious institutions have been at a great height. Then television was invented ... I got lost :) At the time, moaning like a cardinal was like becoming a member of the European Parliament today, or a congressman in America, something like that, with a lot of influence ... In fact, this is with the cardinal. it may have been a bigger job, because these cardinals have influenced various future heirs to the throne since childhood ... Otherwise, the devil just shouldn't be tied to his tales. Try to stay away from the negative and there will be no chance with you;)
