The connections betwwen TELEVISION, SATAN, and the Spiritual world Q's POST 3951 about SATANIC TV got me looking into some things, and I think it is interesting that in the Garden of Eden God did not want Adam and Eve to eat from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, but when they did their EYES were opened. It wasn't like they couldn't SEE before that, it was just that they didn't know EVIL, but were able to SEE it afterwards. And the Devil was involved in making sure they could see EVIL. The word TELEVISION has a Greek and Latin origin.  It is unusual for TWO different sources to be used to make ONE WORD. Television means I SEE FAR. Just like in the BIBLE where Adam and Eve had their eyes opened. Also, the words MEDIUM or MEDIA are used in connection with TV, and so is the word CHANNELS.  All these words are also used by people that practice witchcraft, and other practices condemned by God. STRANGE COINCIDENCES OR IS IT? There are two Saints that also said that TV would bring the DEVIL into a home. One was Padre Pio, and the other Elizabeth Ann Seton who had a WARNING prophecy about the TV WAY before it was even invented. THE SCRIPTURE that mentions SEEING after eating from the forbidden tree. Genesis 3:5-8 New International Version (NIV) 5 “For God knows that when you eat from it your EYES will be OPENED and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” 6 When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it. 7 Then the eyes of both of them were opened. Where the word TELEVISION came from, the Greek tele, DISTANT, with the Latin vision, SEEING MEDIUM and MEDIA : an individual held to be a channel of communication between the earthly world and a world of spirits A CHANNEL is a passageway, a means of access for a thing, a communication, or an idea.  What did some of the saints think about the television? ANSWER! PADRE PIO "St Padre Pio was disturbed and disgusted by the television. He realized it would destroy family life and told everyone not to buy one. Regarding cinema or “sin” ema he always gave the same answer: “The devil is in it.” Could it be that a man which the world recognized as extremely holy, who heard countless souls in confession and would tell them sins omitted, could also have correct discernment about television?"  "American St Elizabeth Ann Seton(1774-1821) had a vision she could not understand in the middle 1800’s: “Every American would have a BLACK BOX in their home and the DEVIL WOULD ENTER.” This one statement by a modern saint (canonized by Venerable Paul VI in 1975) should strike you heart like lightning. Go to any outlet store and look whether this American saint was wrong about the devil entering the home through TELEVISION.. Television was invented in 1928, almost 100 years before she made this prophetic statement which I am sure she did not fully understand."
