Iruka: I am [[aware]] that there will be a [[visitor]] for several months here, merely show her [[love]] and help if she asks for it. If she is used to a big [[City|metropolitan]] area she will just have to get used to the roads and the transit systems. She may need help with that, but just show her [[friendship]] and love and [[listen]] to her. See what she needs, oftentimes moves can be stressful and she may just want to [[talk]]. So [[play]] it by ear and just meet her and get to know her. Does this help?

===='''''[[Evil]]'''''====

G3: Hello Iruka, my question is concerning what part does the [[devil]] play in our everyday affairs or our everyday living. You very seldom talk about the [[Evil|evilness]] in the world and mostly when we have our lessons you mostly speak about the [[love]] of [[God]]. I do have a friend who is very concerned about the [[power]] of [[evil]] and [[the devil]] and sometimes she will say that such and such a [[person]] is [[possessed]] by the devil and this has been a [[conversation]] that we have [[debated]] over whether or not a person can be possessed by the devil. And also is there a such a place, [[physical]] place, [[material]] place as [[hell]]. Does that still exist or what is...could you help me out with these two [[questions]]?

Iruka: Certainly, I will try. On the planet [[Urantia]], there has been one [[word]], one name for [[three]] [[individuals]]. When you refer to the devil humans usually refer to an individual named [[Satan]], one named [[Lucifer]], or one named [[Caligastia]]. They are sort of rolled up into one [[being]] and called the devil, and since [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1984 1984] when the [[Lucifer Rebellion]] was [[adjudicated]], these beings are as if they never were. They do not exist anymore. There was a [[time]] that humans could be, [[possessed]] is not a very descriptive term, but overwhelmed might be a better word. But since [[Jesus]] walked [[your planet]] this does not happen anymore, it cannot happen. The [[evil]] that is here is created by man. As there becomes more and more [[love]] in the world, this will [[dissipate]], this will go away by itself. It takes enormous [[energy]] to sustain [[evil]], and it will not last, it will go away. You don't need to be [[afraid]] of someone taking over your [[personality]], your will, your [[desires]] and making you do things or think things that you don't want to.

===='''''[[Hell]]'''''====

As for the subject of [[hell]], that was created centuries ago for people who appeared to have [[everything]]. [[Money]], [[power]], and so to make the [[poor]] people feel better about the [[rich]] person who was [[evil]] and had all this [[money]], they were told that he would spend his [[eternity]] in a place where he would be eternally punished, in [[pain]], on [[fire]], some horrible thing would happen to him. This [[idea]] has been created by [[humans]]. [[The Father]] has such [[capacity]] for [[love]], He doesn't want to loose even one of His [[creatures]], one of his children. But if they [[choose]] to not serve Him, or move towards Him, or [[grow]] to be like Him, they can [[decide]] to not exist. It would be terribly [[painful]] for [[the Father]] if [[Lucifer]] was in a place where he was miserable, where he was in [[pain]], where he hurt. Even in [[Lucifer]]'s [[error]], [[the Father]] still loved him. The Father is incapable of [[wishing]] this type of [[torment]] on anyone, even someone who has turned against Him. So in answer to your [[question]], no there is no place like [[hell]]. [[The Father]] could not stand it. Does this help?
