Demons

Quote From: twinsma546

I get really angry when people talk about being possesed by the devil. Like that grandfather on Dr. Phils show who claimed he molested his grandaughter because he was possesed. This is such a convenient way for people who do horrible things to get away with them. Because Judeo- Christian religions are so prevalent too many people want to believe that this really does happen. The truth is that people are sick with mental illness, some more extreme than others.  Those that claim to be possesed I believe love the attention and drama that comes with exorcism as well as the endless excuse they have for their behavior which they are really not willing to give up. This is just another (creative) form of denial and not taking responsibility. It comes to no surprise to me that so many churches recognize demon possesions now that all of the priests and ministers are being outed for sexually abusing children in the congregation. I would be willing to bet that this minister who is exorcising demons from all of these people has some skeletons in his own closet!

I SO AGREE WITH you this is a lame and creative attempt to blame someone other than themselves and not take full responsibilty for their actions. There is a god and a devil ok I agree that is possible but anyone who is doing that thinking that they are possessed doing wrong doings there again should look within themselves... I have a hard time with someone saying they are possessed and doing something wrong then ask for forgiveness through exocerisms and etc.. just ridcilous and downright to stupid nonsense

Maybe you have a demon in your closet.....? I was raised in a "Reformed" church and only learned about Satan and demons at home. I don't understand why they do not teach this in church, as Jesus did tell his disciples to go out by two's and minister to people and "cast out demon's (devil's)" . Jesus cast out a legion of demons out of a man in the bible, spiritually nothing has changed. People still sin and have skeletons in their closets. In fact the greatest accomplishment of Satan is that he does not exist! Poor fooled people of the Christian faith also seem to believe this lie. I thank God  that there are caring Godly men like Pastor Larson whom reach out to people that are being oppressed by the demonic. I grew up in a strict Christian home, but was also molested by my brother when I was very small. My mother knew but nothing was done, I was always tormented at night with nightmares and seeing things hovering over me or coming at me. I have been through a deliverance with Pastor Bob Larson as it was my time to deal with the pain. I felt like a huge weight had been  lifted off of me. I no longer had the nightmares that plagued my life for years, I prayed for years that God would take away the hurt and pain from it all. He did the day I had my deliverance session with Pastor Larson, I am a proud sponsor of The Bob Larson Ministries and am a member of one of the DWJD Teams (Do What Jesus Did). He/we do more than deliverance's we also help them to get the counseling they need and have prayer groups, there is a network of people that help other people. You should go to one of Bob's Rallies and see for yourself what he does, well what GOD does through Bob. Our God is an awesome God! I know for a fact that Bob too has gone through a deliverance like I and my husband has. Too many stones from a house of glass, check it out before you form an opinion.
