Breaking Generational Sin?
Hi Father. How does one renounce or break the bondage of generational sin? After listening to the episodes on Free Masonry and generational sin (i.e. the story of the alcoholic family) I am beginning to think my husband’s family may be in some sort of bondage to the sin of lust. My husband has been battling addiction to pornography through Celebrate Recovery, prayer, counseling, confession, etc. His brother and sister struggle in this area as well. My husband can think of no reason why he decided to look at pornography when he was just a child. There was no trauma event that he can recall. We have prayed over this before, but maybe the prayers need to be more specific. Any advice? We haven’t looked into if this has affected previous generations yet.
Is Halloween Demonic?
Hello. Hope all is well. I have a question I’ve been wrestling with for the last few years. Is celebrating Halloween, aka dressing up and going to friend’s costume parties, a sin/opening doors to the demonic/participating in the occult? As a non denominational Christian, it’s even celebrated by the Church. I am not aware of the history of Halloween and learning about yoga, the ouija, and the demonic has made me much more weary of it.
Baptism in the name of the triune God or Jesus?
Fr. Carlos, which biblical references, other than Matthew 28:18-20, support being baptized in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit? Many Christians argue Acts 2:38 states to baptize in the name of Jesus. Acts 19:5 also comes up because Paul baptized in the name of Jesus. Thank you Fr.
Pretending to leave
Some people in pagan religions say they can "cas out weak spirits." I say "weak" because I saw one saying that for stronger ones they send people to a pastor or preast. Could you talk about your experience in relation to spirits "pretending to leave" or people looking for other sources to cast them out? Good morning!
