You have removed words that I had in what I wrote that falsify your statement.
Your comment was parsed for the benefit of those with short attention spans. The gist of your comment, however, was not.
Notice that I specified that God has not revealed specific information...
I do not know of a single passage that you can point to in Scripture that explicitly connects [sin] to a specific person or people becoming demon possessed.
Scripture itself does not seem to directly and explicitly connect these specific sinful things to demon possession for specific people mentioned in Scripture.
...and I told you
directly and explicitly why that is so:
The Holy Bible doesn't provide a step-by-step manual on how someone becomes demon-possessed. And that's a good thing, because plenty of wannabee's would be referencing it in their attempts to gain power. Rather, if one wants to know the truth, one must read the truth - i.e. the Holy Bible in its totality.
At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes. (Mat. 11).
And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret.
my point is that Christians have no basis to hold that such-and-such occult practices that are not specifically mentioned in the Bible cannot cause demon possession because the Bible does not say that those things can cause demon possession.
In the Holy Bible, there are descriptions of "occult practices" that lead people away from God. How far away? Far enough to become lost and given over to Satan.
Also, the flippant and flagrant use of the phrase "demon possession," as explained earlier, displays a certain naivete that compromises the ostensible gist of the OP.
The OP:
The NT indisputably and emphatically reveals the reality of demon possession. Concerning those people who were demon possessed, one of two things had to have been true: (1) They were born demon possessed or (2) they became demon possessed at some later point in their lives.
The NT does not seem to provide any definitive information to establish that any people were born demon possessed. Taking that they were possessed at some later point in their lives, what caused them to become possessed?
The question has been answered. But because you insist on being right, rather than on possibly learning something, you have trashed your own OP.
