7 holy virtues?

Question

I'm Catholic and i learned that there are 7 deadly sins: greed, lust, envy, gluttony, wrath, pride, and sloth. Now each is paired with a demon: for example:: Lucifer = Pride. What I want to know is which angels are matched with which virtue?

Answer 1

Here are the seven holy virtues as opposites to the seven deadly sins. According to Dante's The Divine Comedy the sins have an order of greatness, and the virtues a respective order of greatness as well. This order is shown below from the lowest to the highest.

+ Holy Virtues +
Chastity (purity)
Moderation (self-restraint)
Generosity (vigilance)
Zeal (enthusiasm)
Meekness (composure)
Charity (giving)
Humility (humbleness)

+ Deadly Sins +
Lust (inappropriate desire)
Gluttony (over-indulgence)
Greed (avarice)
Sloth (laziness)
Wrath (anger)
Envy (jealousy)
Pride (vanity)

The history of this list goes back at least to Pope St. Gregory the Great and St. John Cassian, but while the list itself is not strictly biblical, the Bible proscribes all seven.

Sorry, I did not know there were angels attached to each.

With love in Christ.

MODERN-DAY dictionaries define “virtue” as “moral excellence; goodness.” It is “right action and thinking; goodness of character.” Lexicographer Marvin R. Vincent says that the original classical sense of the Greek word rendered “virtue” denotes “excellence of any kind.” Not surprisingly, then, such qualities as prudence, courage, self-discipline, fairness, compassion, perseverance, honesty, humility, and loyalty have been hailed as virtues at one time or another. Virtue has also been defined as “conformity to a standard of right.”

To whose standard of excellence, goodness, and right should we conform? “According to the dominant school of moral philosophy,” said Newsweek magazine, “the skepticism engendered by the Enlightenment has reduced all ideas of right and wrong to matters of personal taste, emotional preference or cultural choice.” But is mere taste or preference a satisfactory way of determining right and wrong? No. For us to cultivate virtue, we need a reliable standard of good and bad—a standard by which a certain act, attitude, or quality may be judged right or wrong.
Virtue is not a passive avoidance of what is bad. It has moral power. A virtuous person has goodness. “Virtue,” says one professor, “needs to be learned with the heart as well as the head.” Cultivating virtue, then, entails more than a thorough acquaintance with God’s Word. It calls for meditation on what is written there so that our hearts get filled with gratitude for Jehovah and we are moved to apply Scriptural principles in our lives.

Answer 4

At least there are seven sins that God supposedly will not forgive.

There are six things the Lord hates, seven that are detestable to him as in Proverbs 6:16-19 declares:

(1) haughty eyes.

(2) a lying tongue.

(3) hands that shed innocent blood.

(4) a heart that devises wicked schemes.

(5) feet that are quick to rush into evil.

(6) a false witness who pours out lies.

(7) a man who stirs up dissension among brothers.

This list is not what most people understand as the “seven deadly sins.”

Answer 5

Perhaps Mammon could be paired with greed.

Wrath paired with the demon that Michael fought for two weeks- the ' Prince of Persia'.

But I wouldn't set myself on one of them as being the nature of those demons. Rather they attempt to gain control. And they are being somewhat sucessful. But I think that you could be attempting to apply attributes that are the antithesis of those that are applied to saints. If find it unnecessary ro do that.

God is not the unjust judge. He is there if you only pray to him. I understand the interest in demonology, but it is better to focus on trusting God for all you needs, according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

The demon's attempt to confuse Christians, especially the weak ones who are unprepared for the battle we have; for they are our enemies, those that we do battle against. Discernment is of utmost importance as to the battle thereof.

The only way to get that is by trusting God, who puts his Spirit in us, and we become empowered for the contest of our righteousness. not that we are ever sinless, but that we are covered and declared righteous by God through Jesus the Christ.

You are being lied to. Stay away from man made doctrine and turn to God and His true word in the KJV Bible. God will not mislead you, but man will.
