Who is the stupid one? Aen Saturday, November 19, 2016

Question:

Even though the devil is noted to be much more intelligent than humans, how can anyone say the devil is "so intelligent" when he blew the entire chance at being with God in Heaven? I would say that that is the ultimate stupidity.

Dear Aen:

Angels and Demons are more intelligent than human beings, but as it can be with highly intelligent people, the capacity for stupidity is just as high. Pride blinds demons (and people) from intelligent thought. 

Lucifer and his companions were blinded by pride, which caused them to make the stupid decision to rebel against God. Today, Satan and his minions are not only blinded by pride, but also be revenge and hatred. This sometimes leads Satan and his demons to do really stupid things in hopes of seducing people away from God.

For example, Satan may try to appeal to ego about some attribute a man has, such as organizational abilities, to which he is fully secure and confident. The demonic agenda is to try to prick his ego into feeling insecure about this talent for organization. But, if the man is secure and confident in ability to organize without any egoism, the devil will have little chance of seducing him. The devil may try anyway in a vain hope his seduction will work.

God Bless,
Bro. Ignatius Mary
