Subject: Personality disorder or demon possesion? |
Bible Note: Hiya Doc, Wouldn't the distinction kind of go back to your previous post? A "Christian" couldn't possibly be possessed by the devil and they certainly don't want to think in terms of sin or that it's because of a mental disorder so they call it oppression by the devil. (That's just my 2cents worth of the difference between the two, possession and oppression, but it doesn't seem biblical to me either.) Shalom Cheri |
