What’s your opinion on this ?

Do you think it’s off the wall stuff hearing about demons when people mention it .
I know I can’t handle personally myself .
I hear a lot of talk with it from people who have mental difficulties.
It’s like they label anything wrong to demons.
I don’t think life is about that and at times I have mental difficulties myself but no way would I label it demons .
That would frighten me too much if I did label it . Anything goes wrong in my life I call God .
I have no spiritual teacher who guides me no more and than can be a burden at times .
I think personally that’s the danger about having a strong religious beliefs cause you’d end up trying to do it yourself with God.
I must admit too over my strong religious beliefs I have no one can get through too me.
Before I was very open to other people opinions but I shut myself off completely.
I must say over my strong religious beliefs I have since I started having a bit of faith I never really had a dark day since , so something must be working in my life . I try to lead a good life , don’t get it always right but I do try

Yes i would agree, there are people who blame demons for everything bad they do and they are doing it in an attempt to avoid responsibility for their actions..

But i am also a person who believes in demons and believes they have possessed people and caused them to do evil things.. I believe this is rare but it has happened..

I believe if one believes Jesus ( accepts all his teachings ) and trusts in the Atonement He secured by His sacrificial death on the cross, Then one will be indwelled by The Holy Spirit and as such will be a temple of God ( The Holy Spirit is God ) And i believe the Holy Spirit will never share it's Temple with a demon.. So i believe a true follower of the LORD Jesus is immune from demonic possession..

As for your strong religious beliefs and cutting everyone else off in regard to religious beliefs..

I stick to my beliefs and avoid becoming a follower of other religous people, In the end one can only Trust in God.. But i do concede that God at times can work through other people who will put forward a religous belief or bring forth a legitimate teaching that is contrary to a belief i currently hold as true.. So while i am confident i am on the right path in the Way i am also willing to consider thoughts from other people in relation to doctrine especially when they are firmly backed up by scripture..
