Hey, what do you mean by "THAT" bad? ;) :D

...anyhow, I figure I've caused myself more trouble than anyone else.
Yep, me too.

But I was blind and deaf and didn't know it.

The enemy took advantage of that. Still tries to.

Or do you not comprehend that!
I comprehend it very well. So please take note:

Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour (1 Pet 5:8)

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. (Eph 6:12)

Our greatest enemy is death.
Certainly not for Christians, but for humanity.

For Christians to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. WHICH IS FAR BETTER according to Paul.

Devils only tempt us to sin, but the decision to sin comes from ourself. Therefore ‘ourself’ is our greatest enemy that brings about punishments, diseases, and wrath.

“Be not afraid of those who can kill the body, but be afraid of the One who has the power to destroy both body and soul.”

Good answer.....during the millennium, Satan will be chained in a deep pit in order NOT to influence any man. As John's Prophecy tell us, even with Satan's influence out of the picture, Mankind's sinful nature continues. It continues to a point where He aligns himself with Satan against Jerusalem and Jesus, at the end of the millennium (the 2nd Armageddon)

To summarize, while outside influences (i.e lifestyles, worldviews, politics, etc.) help lead mankind away from a righteous life, it is still mankind's responsibility to stay faithful to the Gospel of Jesus until death.

The Christians' greatest enemy is THEMSELVES.

The reason Jesus said to DENY YOURSELF (Luke 9:23)

This is the reason why if you do not know how to sober yourself, the devil will devour you (1 Peter 5:8)

You must know how to control your lust, anger and the works of the flesh that are mentioned in Galatians 5:19-21.

Living in the works of the flesh will bring you eternal damnation as mentioned in Galatians Chapter 5.
