Subject: Personality disorder or demon possesion? |
Bible Note: Jeff, Thank you and the rest for your patience with me. The questions come up as the person I am relating questions to is a liscensed Counselor, and a born-again Christian from what I know. They attended a few Bible universities as well. I cannot understand how someone with a clear understanding of psychological disorders and a knowledge of scripture can fall to a level of such a stronghold in their life and not do anything about it, knowing the severity of the level. My only idea is that it is a stronghold, although I do not know what scriptures here I can add. It brings to mind several questions relating to Christians having any possibility of having demonic possession. And if there is any hope that fasting from others can help lead to overcoming the freewill or possesion they have. |
