Mark 9:25 When Jesus saw that the people came running together, he rebuked the foul spirit, saying unto him, Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I charge thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him. Jesus permanently delivered this boy from the demon's ever being able to enter him again. Having...

This is an expected response from someone who cannot answer factual information with actual in-depth responses, so he has to resort to ad hominem instead. The fact stands that your assertions about the Greek verb that has been rendered as "demon possessed" etc. are not a sound understanding of...

King Manasseh was a horrifically wicked king over God’s people: 2 Kings 21:5 And he built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the LORD. 6 And he made his son pass through the fire, and observed times, and used enchantments, and dealt with familiar spirits and...

It is vital to proper spiritual health that Christians study in depth what God has revealed in His Word about demonology so that they can answer false Christian views, claims, and reasoning about things that mistaken Christians say do not and cannot lead to demonic influence and possession...

It is edifying and essential to study in depth what God has revealed in His Word (2 Tim. 3:16-17). Properly answering faulty Christian views and reasoning requires thorough, in-depth study of what God has said.

On the contrary, it is you who has set forth an understanding of the Greek verb δαιμονίζομαι that is an understanding that is wanting. The standard Greek lexicon, "A Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament and Other Early Christian Literature, Third Edition" (BDAG), gives only one definition...

Here is some of Jesus' own teaching about demon possession: Luke 11:14 And he was casting out a devil, and it was dumb. And it came to pass, when the devil was gone out, the dumb spake; and the people wondered. 15 But some of them said, He casteth out devils through Beelzebub the chief of the...

I seem to be making more and more errors, I am so sorry I misrepresented you with my blatantly false post. It's ok. Mistakes happen.

You are mistaken. I did not reply with these remarks. Someone else did: sojourner4Christ

You say that people "become lost" through engaging in "'occult practices' that lead people away from God." If your statements mean that you think that people who are truly born again and saved by God can "become lost and [be] given over to Satan," you are teaching what is wrong. No one who is...

In actuality, the Bible presents almost no specifics or details about how the occultists engaged in the actual occult practices that the Bible directly talks about. Many Christians wrongly take such lack of specific information and argue that other things that are not talked about in the Bible...

I do not think at all that I am being overly combative. I certainly do not believe that I am doing anything wrong. I am seeking to make sure that what I have said is properly represented.

I have no idea what you are talking about. I am making sure that what I said is properly represented. Again, I am making a specific point about what the Bible does not explicitly say and the relevance of that point to false claims by Christians that such-and-such does not and cannot lead to...

You have removed words that I had in what I wrote that falsify your statement. This is what I wrote in full: Notice that I specified that God has not revealed specific information about how the people that Scripture explicitly speaks of as being demon possessed became possessed. I do not know...

Returning to the stated topic of the thread, "What should Christians believe about the causes of demon possession?", it is plain that God in His perfect wisdom has not revealed specific information in His perfect Word about how the multitudes of people whom Scripture explicitly speaks of as...
