Only “the whole armor of God” can protect us from the many demons who want to devour our soul!
Question 1: “Did St. Paul recognize the power of demons?”
Answer: “Yes!”
~
Question 2: What passages?
Answer: “2 Corinthians 12:7-9 is clear. ‘And to keep me from being too elated by the abundance of revelations, a thorn was given me in the flesh, a messenger of Satan, to harass me, to keep me from being too elated. Three times I besought the Lord about this, that it should leave me; but He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness.’”

Question 3: “Does St. Paul identify demons?”
Answer: Ephesians 6:10-12 tells us what they are! ‘Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we are not contending against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world rulers of this present darkness, against the spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.’”

Question 4: “What is ‘the whole armor of God’ that we need to ‘put on’ to protect us from demons?”
Answer: “That ‘whole armor’ includes The Power of The Church He Spoke Into Being: ‘And I say unto you thou art Peter and on this rock I build My Church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. I give you the Keys to The Kingdom of Heaven.’”
Sadly, Willful Protestants only put on a few “pieces” of The Seven Sacraments of God’s armor! They proudly dress in robes of ‘belief’ but refuse to wear the helmet of ‘obedience’.
Catholic Sacraments include every necessary component of ‘the whole armor’ we need to wear 24/7/365.25.”

Question 5: “Specifically, what does St. Paul say demons are and are not?”
Answer: “‘we are not contending against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world rulers of this present darkness, against the spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.’
~
Question 6: “Are all the evils on earth caused by human “puppets” who let demons pull their strings?”
Answer: “Yes.”
~
Question 7: “How can we best ‘contend’ against puppets of the demons?”
Answer: “They have some Free Will left in their spirit. We remind them to focus on getting their immortal soul ‘the keys to The Kingdom of Heaven’! That lets His obedient “friends” wear the impenetrable ‘whole armor of God’.
