@Methodios007@ChristiansSTDT People who use the "well which God is the real God?" argument can just be written off as not taking it seriously, because if they'd actually studied any of these other religions out there, they'd know.
@GermanCarranza3 The casual dismissal is something that I actually find pretty funny these days.
Maybe if the guy had watched The Neverending Story when he was younger, he'd realize that his dismissal was about the same as Bastian going: "It's only a story! It's not real! It's only a story!"
@humus_or_Hummus @OrthodoxPole81 I mean... okay, if that's your view.
It's not a view based in reality, according to Fr. Stephen De Young and what he hears in Confession, which is what the OP was about...
But okay, just call the Priest a liar, I guess.
It'd reply to this, but OP has blocked me.
100%
Everyone whom I have seen deny this sort of thing actually does not take their Bible seriously. They only want how they understand things, not how the Apostles themselves thought or understood things.
Outside of any of the other controversies, this line from Father Stephen De Young to Tucker Carlson on the pornography problem is massive. "All men and most women."
Guys, even in the Sethite hypothesis regarding the Nephilim, you have the daughters of Cain teaching people sorcery.
You cannot teach sorcery without demonic possession.
@EmbracingTara Saint Jude cites the demons and fallen angels chained up in the underworld because of their sins -- doing exactly this.
Please take your Bible (especially your New Testament) seriously.
@AngloVarangian@frjohnwhiteford@SabaIsper "Cope and seethe, you [insert desired heresy]" -- and then insert some sort of quote mine from the Fathers or Ecumenical Councils.
That seems to be the MO of this new generation of converts coming into the Church.
Lord, have mercy.
@LowStudies Hopefully, this begins to guide Tucker (as well as those who still listen to him) out of his sudden desire to embrace Islam (which came as a result of finding out just how satanic Zionism is).
@OrthodoxPole81 People have all but forgotten that the pagan Romans admired Christian men for their ability to have control over themselves in that manner.
@DSWcab @ThePolemikOne "There, but by the grace of God, go I."
The habit of many former Zionists (like myself) once they wake up to how demonic Zionism is is to into full-bore legit antisemitism and embracing of Islam.
The only former Zionists I know who aren't like that are now Orthodox Christians.
Genesis 6 describes the Nephilim as demonic hybrids who occupy positions of authority in human society. They’re entirely real, says Father Stephen De Young.

@mkcselby "For those of you Christians who believe eating meat during Great and Holy Lent is a sin, what the heck is a man supposed to do when the urge comes? You're supposed to suppress your entire desire for meat as a faster? I don't get it."
Yes. You fast from meat as you do from sex.
