"Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour" (I Peter 5:8).
Satan resides in many places, sabotaging much of the good that is being done. One of those places is our institutions of higher learning, where Satan is thought not to exist.
"Fifteen of the thirty most trusted advisers to Adolf Hitler held doctorate degrees. Some of them were medical doctors. These white collar criminals conducted a reign of terror exceeded only by those of Stalin and Mao. [I think I need to add that the murderous leaders of radical Islam are doctors and engineers. They are the masterminds. They recruit the poor and the ignorant to do their bidding.]
"The American psychologist appointed to examine accused Nazi war criminals at the Nuremberg trials said that the Nazi inmates had one thing in common -- 'all lacked empathy.' They did not feel the suffering of their victims. They were devoid of compassion. Such a state is the precursor of cruelty and is the essence of the satanic spirit. lucifer (I refuse to capitalize his name) is the destroyer precisely because he is incapable of love, devoid of compassion. Christ is the Savior precisely because He is love. The Holy Spirit is a counter presence to apollyon in the world because the Holy Spirit is love. He stirs us to the deepest empathy. He builds, nurtures, and protects, rather than destroys. Empathy may be the most powerful healing reality in any therapist."
Education is a good thing, but when the Spirit is not present the evil one turns the educated one into a clever devil. Love, joy peace, gentleness goodness, patience, faithfulness and self-control indicate the presence of the Holy Spirit. If these are not present then it is quite possible that satan is involved--beware!!
Grace&Peace,
