However, your assessment is not justifiable. The Apostles did not draw out the accounts from what they saw when Jesus performed miracles and cast out demons. Then the very Apostles and even Apostle Paul did the same thing Jesus did when confronting demons. So, the Apostles (disciples when they were with Jesus) only did as Jesus did and knew they had the power to cast out demons. <BR/><BR/>So for the biblical accounts I gave you, specifically the one where the demons ask Jesus where they should go, are you saying that the pigs had a mental illness to run down the cliff and drown in the water?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-682940672768240827.post-19313835569083058762007-03-14T17:02:00.000-05:002007-03-14T17:02:00.000-05:00Captian i haven't ignore what you quoted from the ...Captian i haven't ignore what you quoted from the bible. You side-stepped my explanantions. The writers over exaggerate of what they see. The people had a mental or psychiological illness. It may seem like a form of possession,but that is not the case. Sorry capt. jesus had no control of how people quote him. To the writer base on their view he may have shared their fears and superstitiutious way. But like i say the accounts you quote, the writers greatly exaggerate of what is going on. Jesus heal people of their illness whether mental or physical. True Christians thankfully has abandoned these misguided fears and supersititious ways. It's sad because some feel austistic people are possess. They are not at all, but it is a mental and psychiological problem. It's sad we have people with ancient fears and consipracies in 2007. Jesus didn't agree with such nonsense. Such nonsense has no backing up these days. I have never hear about people getting possess daily unless these so-called demons are on vacation, and come duritng certain seasons captain!Justice MHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06442373049204016557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-682940672768240827.post-51272770009311191392007-03-14T13:39:00.000-05:002007-03-14T13:39:00.000-05:00I see you totally side-stepped the biblical exampl...I see you totally side-stepped the biblical examples given. Well, I will leave you to argue your point, but neither can you confirm demons Don't exist either. <BR/><BR/>It is just sad to see "politically" correct "Christians" who take some things of the bible and reject the other parts. I guess you don't agree with the last charge of Jesus to His followers in Mark 16:17 do you? Jesus expressively said, "In my name, they shall cast out devils"<BR/><BR/>Now you can argue against that all you want, but Jesus said it and TRUE Christians have been doing this ever since and need to continue doing so until Jesus return.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-682940672768240827.post-6997953821098073712007-03-14T12:45:00.000-05:002007-03-14T12:45:00.000-05:00I disagree back Captain.

Anyways, to say paul's knowledge all the way to our time with our advance knowledge is wrong to say. Jesus' ministry operated in healing people who seem to be possess to an uneducated society , and people at te time. Jesus was far advance in his time with know that no demon was the but mental o pschiology illness. he knew this because o his time in India. He was not cauht up in superstitious and fear. He did miracles of healing people's mental illness, and that was miracles. As i said you misuderstand me. My so-called carnal mind can comprehend very much, thankyou. It is not prideful to say you have more knowledge than paul and etc. His society and culture is totally different than ours. Paul is the case to is not the real deal to me, and what he says. In his time, im sure he was very intelligent in his time that is. But in our time, paul is way out of his league. Back to the spirits, the mind is very powerful. Like i said in mental illness they were very suggestive, and said all kind of things. You claim it's a spirit, but it's the person in a state a mental illness or trauma. In that time was not familair with medical problems. Christ knew this, but the writers of the bible greatly exaggerate of this situaion. Flesh and carnality have nothing to do with this. Captain your agrument weak and poor. People like are still stuck with ancient superstitious and fears. No proof, no agrument.Justice MHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06442373049204016557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-682940672768240827.post-9565539714785815272007-03-14T10:11:00.000-05:002007-03-14T10:11:00.000-05:00I totally disagree with your assessment. I fully u...I totally disagree with your assessment. I fully understand that your carnal mind is unable to comprehend the existence of demon spirits. The claim that society during Jesus time were uneducated and that we are educated has no merit. Jesus, the disciples and even Apostle Paul were highly educated men. I think it is prideful to say that your education is more superior to God. Even more, to say that your studies and intellect is superior to God is even more foolish. The Apostle Paul said in Romans 1:14, “I am both to the Greeks and the Barbarians; both to the wise and unwise.” This imply that Paul, who was scholastically superior in his time release all the knowledge he learned to follow Jesus Christ and live out the Christian doctrine. In your case, you represent the scripture Romans 1:22, “Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.” In Acts 4:13 only exemplified more that to the society at that time; people thought Peter and John, disciples of Jesus who later became Apostles were unlearned. Yet when they spoke the word of God and preached, they marveled and were astonished at the level of knowledge they were preaching. <BR/><BR/>Dealing specifically with evil spirits and demons, many miracles took place. Not only did Jesus operate in the ministry of deliverance by casting out demons, but the Apostles were able to do just the same. Primarily, Acts 19:15 said that the evil spirit spoke back and said, “Jesus I know, Paul I know, but who are ye?” This certainly implies that demons can communicate and that demons exist. It also has been recorded Jesus at one time spoke to demons in Matthew 8:30 when demons spoke to Him and ask Jesus, “If you cast me out, can I live in the herd of swine?” Jesus replied, “Go”. That implies that demons need a host body to operate. This is exactly why demon spirits attack our bodies and flesh because our bodies and flesh is subject to carnality and the pleasures of this world; our flesh is unable to please God because we are unclean. This is the whole purpose of salvation and coming to God through Jesus. In Mark 3:11, evil spirits cried out saying that Jesus is the son of God. How come these evil spirits say, “Jesus you are the son of Man?” The reason why demons cannot be detected by scientific methods and analysis is because these are spiritual matters; this cannot be measured or detected. This is why we cast out demons in Jesus name. There is a where the Apostle Paul said that above all the gifts of the body of Christ you ask for, ask for the Holy Spirit. <BR/><BR/>Now these are just a few examples of characteristics and activities of demons. There is one book that explains more by John Eckhardt the book titled: Let Us Alone- The Cry of Demons.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
