Bible in General

SCROLL TO BOTTOM FOR CONTENT THREADS.
Bible Question:  Demons. Jesus dealt with Demons. Some say there are no more now in our church age. I say yes the demons are active and present to day.

I have never, not once heard a sermon on "demons" in my 60 years as a Christ follower. Why are demons not brought out in sermons and how to make them leave?


I an totally convinced by Scripture followers of Christ can only be oppressed, not possessed by Demons. So in what ways do Demons oppress Christians? can you give examples where you think someone was openly possessed by a demon. Clearly they could not be a Christian, so who would you think of? I would say Hitler would be one.

Bible Answer:  Dear Justme,

There are some good response in this thread.

I agree that the Scriptures do not give us a great deal to go on relative to angelology/demonology. Only with that foundation can we say anything with full authority about these non-human sentient beings who are normally invisible to our eyes of flesh. I would certainly argue that we ought to never attempt to assert anything with any degree of confidence from personal experience or observation. You see, much of the wickedness of man is not solely a consequence of demon activity; the flesh and world can originate much of the maladies that we see. We are far too prone to associate a manifestation as coming from the wrong source. Of course, all three sources can be involved in any single issue.

Consequently, what the Word says, we can stand on with great confidence and the full authority of God. Anything else is, at the very best, speculation and at the worst utterly wrong.

In Him, Doc

PS I was interested to learn that the old Medieval images of Satan with a horned, with pitchfork, and a red suit has very interesting roots. Those folks back there never imagined anyone would see those images and think that that was really Lucifer's appearance! They would be quite shocked to find out that we would blame them for believing that. Instead, they knew from the Bible that Satan's fall was rooted in pride. Consequently, they sought to war against him by mocking him -- hence the origins of the caricature. We might fault them for thinking that Satan would be susceptible to such a thing, but we should not fault them for not thinking!
