it does not require resorting to the greek.
Like most important teachings, it only requires the knowledge of a child.
The reason “adults” require a lot of hand holding is we “want” things that we are trying to fulfill while we are reading the scriptures, instead of taking the lesson as it were.
It’s not so much that the truths of scripture are hard to find. it’s that we don’t want to accept them.
Each person has free will. Casting out an evil spirit from a person is useless unless that person repents and starts fighting the spiritual battle.
This however, does not sit well with the people who believe in “authority” and “commanding” evil spirits.
At the end of the day, the problem is not with the evil spirit, but with those people who gave it a home, by dwelling on it and making a choice to allow it in their spiritual house.
In other words, there is no demonic possession of a true believer. There is no place for the evil spirit to gain a foothold. Yes, believers can be oppressed, but no possessed. Let’s not get our theology from the movie “the exorcist”
“people who believe in “authority” and “commanding” evil spirits.”
A person has no “authority.” Authority can only come from the Holy Spirit working through a person.
I’ve observed people casting out demons in front of a group. Usually it is merely stage hypnosis techniques being used to imitate the process. The person doing the work does not know this and thinks they are real.
The big difference is that in hypnosis the person surrenders their authority to the minister or exorcists. In the real thing, the person surrenders their authority or free will to Jesus through the Holy Spirit.
