1 | Demons? Today? | Matt 8:31 | justme | 109442 | ||
There are several instances of Jesus casting out Demons. Often the Demons talked to Jesus. My question is, How does that relate to people today? Are non-christians today controled by demons? Would we also hear them speak? What are some valid proveable instances of casting out demons today. Is casting out demons really psychological illness on the part of so called victims? PLEASE DO NOT GIVE ME EXAMPLES OF Benny Hinn or Copland or Word of Faith teachers! |

Demons are veryreal today ... there are parts of the world the Hinn, Copeland et. al. should go ... maybe the demons will jump on them (Acts 19:14-16). | ||||||
3 | Demons? Today? | Matt 8:31 | Rowdy | 109448 | ||
This is one issue I have to respond with no Bible basis specifically to support my conclusion. In my humble opinion, I put this topic in the same category with other miracles, faith healing, etc. I don't believe there are actually persons today walking around with demons taking possession of their body. I think this is possibly what is meant in Revelation by binding the Devil for 1,000 years with the 1,000 just representing this whole dispensation, between Christ's death and the end of the world. However, I don't want to give the impression of a closed mind so let's see some really absolute proof of a demon possessed person. Can they perform some supernatural act that cannot possibly be questioned as being anything else other than supernatural like that portrayed below? Mark 5:4 For he had often been chained hand and foot, but he tore the chains apart and broke the irons on his feet. No one was strong enough to subdue him. Luke 8:29 For Jesus had commanded the evil spirit to come out of the man. Many times it had seized him, and though he was chained hand and foot and kept under guard, he had broken his chains and had been driven by the demon into solitary places. Now, don't get me wrong. I know about Peter's warning in 1 Pet 5 but I don't think that means anything different demons actually taking possession of human beings. We do need to heed Peter's words and respect the Devil, very much so. But I think the Devil tempts us directly and invites us into his world and disguises the consequences. If we can see an actual demonstration of such a person being possessed, then I'll get much, much closer to believing in this practice. What do you think? Do we have any takers? Remember, keep studying and God bless. |

Hi Rowdy, What do you mean by the term end of the world? The throne of David is an earthly reign so how could there be an end to the Earth? Isaiah 9:7 Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this. Luke 1:33 And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end. The destruction of the Earth will occur, just as it did during the flood, and then Earth will be refurbished just as it was then, only instead of using water God will use fire. The newly refurbished Earth will start over with all believers as it did then, after God poured out his wrath. God will reinstate perfect environment with Christ in charge that will last for 1000 years, not figurative years. CDBJ |
