| 1 | Do demons exist today? | Bible general | justme | 243768 | ||
| Demons. Jesus dealt with Demons. Some say there are no more now in our church age. I say yes the demons are active and present to day. I have never, not once heard a sermon on "demons" in my 60 years as a Christ follower. Why are demons not brought out in sermons and how to make them leave? I an totally convinced by Scripture followers of Christ can only be oppressed, not possessed by Demons. So in what ways do Demons oppress Christians? can you give examples where you think someone was openly possessed by a demon. Clearly they could not be a Christian, so who would you think of? I would say Hitler would be one. |

| 2 | Do demons exist today? | Bible general | Beja | 243769 | ||
| Justme, I completely believe that demons are real and that possessions can happen in our current time. However, of all my sermons I have never preached a sermon on the topics of demons. The reason is simple. I believe a preacher ought to strive to preach the point of the text he is preaching. Whatever is the texts main point ought to be my main point. So since I have not yet come across a passage that has as its point to teach about demons, it has never been the thesis of my sermon. Now does scripture contain passages where demons are on display? Yes. But consider it. Even in the gospels the point of the passages containing demons is not to teach us something about them, but usually seek to show Christ as sovereign over all, even them. In other words, even there Christ is the point rather than them. So I think it is well that we don't see many sermons on them. In Christ, Beja |

| Beja, thank you dear brother. here is a concern, when people in the church come into someone who appears to be a Follower who is oppressed, don't you think in some sermon they should know how to deal with it. I use Eph. cjapter 6, and the armor. But when say a family has a teenager who has been into all kinds of satanic stuff, and not being a Follower he seems like he is possessed, shouldn't parents know what to do? Iknow this may seem odd, but I think this happens and parents and kids just grow farther apart because the parents do not what they are dealing with, besides a stubborn teenager? God bless and again I am so very glad to see you back. Justme |

| Justme, Its an interesting question you put forth. I personally have never had to face it. As I imagine it though, I certainly hope they'd choose to come to me. In which case I can only say my response would be a mixture of prayer, evangelism, and trying to command the demon in the name of Jesus. Emphasis being on prayer. But let me twist this towards a question of my own. I don't think it will settle the issue, but might illustrate my own concern. So the question is this, if I were to prepare people for this instance, if I were to tell them "here is what to do in that moment", what passage specifically ought I teach them? What I am getting at is the question of whether scripture ever actually gives us this detail plan for dealing with possessions. And per chance if we were to conclude that it doesn't, what am I suppose to give them in light of scripture's silence? Should I make it up? Should buy some other book rather than scripture? So the question boils down to this in my mind, whatever the Bible means to teach us, that I ought to teach. If scripture means to train us for handling possessions, then I ought to teach my people precisely what it teaches us. If it does not, then I have no obligation there in my teaching ministry. By the way, we do need to answer that question, perhaps the bible does in fact teach us how to handle it. In Christ, Beja |
