The World, The Flesh, And The Devil
In Christian theology, the world, the flesh, and the devil (Latin: ''mundus, caro, et diabolus''; Greek: ''ό κοσμος, ή σαρξ, και ό διαβολος'') have been singled out "by sources from St Thomas Aquinas" to the Council of Trent, as "implacable enemies of the soul". The three sources of temptation have been described as: *world -- "indifference and opposition to God’s design", "empty, passing values"; *flesh -- "gluttony and sexual immorality, ... our corrupt inclinations, disordered passions"; *the Devil -- "a real, personal enemy, a fallen angel, Father of Lies, who ... labours in relentless malice to twist us away from salvation". Those sources are seen as in opposition to the three persons of God, i.e. the Trinity. Sources Scripture Scripture that refers to the three sources of temptation is thought to include: *Jesus' parable of the Sower (Mathew 13): the first two scenes of unproductive soil represent the devil and the flesh (not so much the world) ...
