The entire purpose of exorcism

Exorcism is vain, ludicrous witchcraft. To believe in lies and fables is not a very smart move.

“Exorcism is vain, ludicrous witchcraft. To believe in lies and fables is not a very smart move.”

As an expert on scripture, you’ll no doubt recall that Christ himself sent ‘legion’ into a herd of pigs, which then plunged over a cliff. The NT is FULL of stories of exorcisms performed either by the Apostles, or by Jesus, and then later by the disciples.

You can’t believe the Scripture is divinely inspired, contains no errors, and call exorcism witchcraft. You just called Christ a witch doctor. A vain witch doctor.

As for believing in exorcism, it’s all over the New Testament. So, are you counselling that I should only believe those parts of the New Testament that you want me to believe, or should I believe in ALL of it, including the parts about the man on the island afflicted with demons. Christ cast them out and he became normal?

Again, it’s with both fear and meekness that I’d consider crafting a response.

In the future, I’d be VERY careful in what you profess to BELIEVE, and what you KNOW. What we know, we can prove. What we believe requires faith, and we are blessed, in that we have not seen Christ, but yet still believe.

You are going to lose a lot of people seeking answers in the arrogance of what you THINK you know. There is so much beauty and logic in what you believe.
