Christ and Satan

Christ was offered by Satan “all the kingdoms of the world and the glory in them” if only Jesus would fall down and worship him. But Jesus rejected the offer in favor of dying on the cross to save the world. I ask: Was Jesus gullible enough not to have questioned Satan where he got the rightful titles to those properties and kingdoms to legally be able to give them away? See Matt. 4: 1 – 9. In the meantime, Jesus said: “Many are called, but few are chosen.” In other words, reject Satan; never mind your free will. Poch Suzara

But Satan indeed has power in this world especially over unbelievers. Just look at the horrible leaders in the past and even in the present. The "Spiritus Mundi" denounced by the Church Fathers is indeed the world of the Devil.

Thus we are asked at our baptism and at the baptism of others (also during Easter) if we "reject Satan and all his works". We reject the Spiritus Mundi.

Funny that you mentioned it @ deusvolt. Other Christian church accused Roman Catholics of being evil too (lol!)
