Bible Question (short): Can a believer be possessed? |
Question (full): Dear Hank-Alive, I was somewhat puzzled with your response to Phebe regarding how a believer knows if he/she is possessed. Where is the scriptural support for your statement that "demons can and do indwell the bodies of believers". Also, in Acts 5:3 the context needs to be clearly understood. It does not say that Annanias was possessed by Satan!( for that matter, scripture doesn't infer that he was or wasn't a "believer") He (Peter) asks, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit. In verse 4 it says, why has thou conceived this thing in thine heart?. This is a long way from "proving" that a believer can be possessed. Outside of the OT and Gospels, there are no recorded instances in the Pauline Epistles of demons or demonic possession. Yours In Christ, BradK |
