There is nothing difficult about listening to a 4 year old child.
It also is not difficult for most people to put an observation reported by a 4 year old child in perspective.
Whether or not there are demons, no matter the best way to get rid of them, no matter whether the bible says they possess or appear ...
It is the height of irresponsibility to tell someone that you are sure what they have heard a FOUR YEAR OLD says he saw, actually happened.
We’re not talking a about a 14 year old, not an 8 year old, not even a 5 year old! A 4 year old is barely removed from crawling and babbling. It’s absurd on it’s face to conclude that a 4 year old definitely observed a demon dancing outside a window.
Nor are you doing the FOUR year old any favor by taking his statements as Gospel truth.
Now let’s hear all the defenses of why the testimony of a 4 year old child must be beieved. I can’t wait.
Sheesh.
1. I have every reasonable justification to trust that
A) NoGrayZone is a bright, honorable person . . .
AND
B) that his brother is also not an idiot.
C) I have every confidence they have not been clueless in considering what the 4 year old said and how he said it . . . what they asked and how they asked it.
Seems like your jumping to conclusions is tied more to your biases than the evidence.
BTW, I’ve known some 4 year olds who were pretty good at spiritual warfare in their own right.
God paid attention to their earnest child-like faith and prayers and acted accordingly.

More removed from crawling and babbling than you realize.
My son was speaking, not babbling or baby talk, full, grammatically complete sentences, by the time he was two. Any adult could carry on a conversation with him and get intelligent, mature responses.
It blew me away what kind of reasoning power, powers of observation, and abstract thinking a child that age can have. People don't expect a lot out of kids that age and the kids live up to, or down to, those expectations.
I realize that many kids that age can have active imaginations, but when the boy described something that he knew nothing about and the father immediately recognized it, that gives it a LOT of credibility to me.
How many four year olds have you interacted with personally? Do you have kids of your own? You talk like someone who has very experience with children. Those of us who've dealt with them know better.
