Bible Question (short): Ex 12:29

Question (full): Dear Brad: Don't you know the Book of Job is a parable and not to be taken literally?

Job 27:1 Moreover Job continued his parable, and said, I will teach you by the hand of God: that which is with the Almighty will I not conceal. Job 27:11

To forsake the Devil is to forsake the worship of Demons or Ghosts and of all false gods whatsoever collectively called the Devil. The “Devil”, then, is a symbol of lust and an vivid hypostatization of idolatry in aggregate. This language cannot be reconciled with the orthodox position.

..and rejecting the devil as a supernatural evil being: Satan is nothing else but Adversary, and is to be understood according to the Subject to which it is applied.

Thus being bound of Satan means no more than that which was an Adversary to Health, be it what it would.

The cases of demon-possession in the Synoptic Gospels do not describe the activity of literal devils, but instead reflect the (mistaken) beliefs of first-century Jews...to beleive that men or weomen can really divine, charm, inchant, bewitch or converse with spirits is a superstition and that the orthodox understanding of demons was an early heresy imported from paganism:the devil in Scripture was never the supernatural evil being of orthodox theology, and that all temptation comes from the lust of the heart:those who claim to be tempted by a personal devil are deluded and provoked by their own fleshly imagination. http://dlxs2.library.cornell.edu/

Job 2:1 Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and the adversary came also among them to present himself before the LORD.In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind. Job 12:10

Job 12:9 Who knoweth not in all these that the hand of the LORD hath wrought this?

Job 27:22 For God shall cast upon him, and not spare: he would fain flee out of his hand.

Job 2:10 But he said unto her, Thou speakest as one of the foolish women speaketh. What? shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil? In all this did not Job sin with his lips.

Job 19:21 Have pity upon me, have pity upon me, O ye my friends; for the hand of God hath touched me.

..why is it that demon possession was so frequent in the 1st century, and yet so rare since and yet find scarce any mention of them before, or any authentic accounts of them since that time; in contemporary authors of other countries?
