war-in-heaven-2

Two thirds of the Angels in Heaven remained loyal to God.   Fallen angels, Protestants in the sky, were thrown out of Heaven by Michael and the loyal Angels among the Nine Choirs whom God created to do His Work.

The same war once waged in Heaven is fought here.  Each human mind since Adam and Eve is a battleground.  Pride fights obedience in the minds of every man, woman, and child.  Dark, destroying demons draw our souls to sin.

Our senses take in images of wealth, power, and sex.  We may let ourselves be drawn to them.  We sink into sin as thoughts become words, then deeds.

There are Nine Choirs of Angels.  Some can be as small as the electrons that move positive charges in our neural connections.

Opposing them?   Seven Tribes of Demons strive to short-circuit the thoughts that keep us obedient to The Loving God.

Pride, envy, greed, gluttony, anger, lust, and sloth draw all whom they can to disobedience.

Demons, like the angels, may be as small as electrons.  Racing through the neural fibers of our minds, they seek to cancel the connections that draw us to belief and obedience.

The seemingly “Christian” snares of Protestantism are invisible to those ensnared.  “I have a ‘personal relationship’ with Jesus, and that is all I need!”, they announce, with varying degrees of pomposity.

“My personal relationship with God allows me to disobey whichever of His commands I want.” reflects the pride of many Protestants in every generation.  That same pride that possessed Adam and Eve as they ate of the forbidden fruit.

The Bright Light of Heaven shines upon the obedient.  God promised one way to life, repeating His bizarre Winnowing Instruction EIGHTEEN TIMES, “If you do not eat My Body and drink My Blood you do not have life in you.”

On earth, as it once was in Heaven, the pride of every protester is made manifest in all who ignore The Only Church He Founded.
