Preter

 Preternatural is extraordinary, outside of nature.  It is relegated to that which is created.

Supernatural is power that is God's alone.  

We are all created and may create in that boundary.  Thus advances with inventions and so forth.

God created all from what we perceive as nothing.  Divine mystery.

The darkside tries to dazzle because our created power is fairly vast to us.  It attempts the well worn lie we can be gods.  No.  God can work within us and manifest God's power.  We get glimpses.

For instance, God inspires via the Holy Spirit and we share glimpses with others, such as writing blogs and novels -s-.

Tools are just that.  They can be used for weal or woe.  Thus, we can be attacked with things that are perverted/inverted.  

There are fantastic preternatural assaults involving spells and curses.  However, many times breaking the 10 Commandments are broken.  In particular, we are beset with bearing false witness.

Whispers, lies, half truths behind the back.  I've had that happen.  So has a certain CIC.  

Blackmail, life threats also are featured.

We have had such attempts.  The best way to combat them is truth.  Don't let them bait you.  Refrain from the defensive.

Truth is one of the greatest preternatural gifts.

Solid rock.

It's supernatural.
