"Casting out" demons

[AlanFromWichita]

I have learned something I can only tell as a riddle, so I’ll say this is about casting our demons.

If you swallow a lie, then you’ve taken the bait. The lie is the bait of the carnal mind. To a spirit no words are lies; they just have so many different meanings that self-proclaimed absolutists don’t know real absolutism from a hole in the ground.

Then it struck me. Jesus is the first person who didn’t swallow the bait before casting it out. He knew there was no way a holy human can lie, so he took out the spirit of deception and buried it in a hole in the ground. So whether you are an absolutist is for you to say, not for others to “tell” you.

I just got another thought.

My kids used to play “opposite day.” It’s kind of like Calvinball in the cartoon strip.

The best way to make somebody think you’re lying is to tell your best absolute truth. People don’t believe you’re not concealing anything because they know they aren’t concealing information when they tell truth, but are concealing their joy in speaking the truth. That’s why Jesus can forgive even Bill Clinton for arguing over what “is” is.

I just got another idea, then I have to go to work.

About “carnal mind bait” being lies, turns out it’s also bait for spirit minds.

The carnal mind wants to swallow the bait to grow. The spirit mind wants to swallow the bait to gain power againt the carnal mind.

So does the fish gain nutrients from real or artificial bait, or does the fish provide nutrients for the fisherman?

If I’m late for work, I don’t care because I have one more for you. I say this not for your good, but to blow off steam from some incredible evil I experienced in a five minute visit this morning to the adoration chapel.

Q: How is the church fishers of men, and how did Jesus reconcile sin with heaven, through His church?

a: The church is the bait. It is the full truth so it is a magnet for evil spirits, so the church is willing to take the blame for any and all evil in the world, through reconciliation.

 

[AlanFromWichita]

Oh, no. after I got used to the evil I felt writing the last few posts, I sensed even more evil wanted to make my jaw flap, but it’s so simple and silly that I can’t say it directly because it would spoil all the fun.

Wonder what it is?

Really, just trust your heart no matter what you might think about whose church.
