Do you believe in demonic possession? [Spirituality & Religion]

Yes. If God said it is real, I believe it. He cannot lie.
@Kuronekko: They can if they study his Word. He gave it to us, so we would know how to have eternal life when we die, and not have to guess. Plus, it's free, just for the asking. God is perfect. He can't lie. He's trustworthy. If he wasn't, I sure wouldn't have spent the last 43 years after I got saved, telling people about him. Notice I said [b]after[/b] I got saved, because you can't earn your way to heaven by good works or anything else. One is saved by grace, which is unearned favor from God, through faith.

I used to think the same, but God's Word showed me differently. If we could save ourselves, then of course that would be [i]us[/i] doing the saving, and not Jesus. It would defeat the whole purpose of Jesus dying on the cross. It took a [u]sinless[/u] sacrifice to pay for our sins. That leaves us out. "For by [b]grace[/b] are you saved through faith, and not of ourselves, lest any man should boast." Ephesians 2:8 @Luzcolours:

No. I believe it is some kind of brain abnormality. The brain is so complex, that every single psychological / emotional anomaly known to man stems from some intricate imperfection or flaw in that 'organ'. I truly believe that if man doesn't destroy himself first, he will someday be able to turn monsters into saints with nano-surgery.
@DixieChick: @DixieChick: Awesome. I went through that phase, but reading the bible thoroughly for years has given me insight. If the god of the bible is perfect, then why does the bible contain so many type O's, and contradictions? There are literally thousands of them. They start in Genesis and go all the way to Revelation.

@puck61: I respectfully disagree with you on that my dear. Peace to you! He is the Great I AM. Creator of heaven and earth and all that is visible and invisible. He holds our next breath in his hand. He lived, he died, and he rose again....He is a soon coming king! He is our savior today and could be our judge tomorrow....
@DixieChick: Awesome! I've decided on Odin and Thor followed by Freya of course!
Both the believer and unbeliever can open themselves up to demonic influence, however only the unsaved can be possessed.

I think that people can think they are possessed, and act accordingly.

There has been many documentaries about it not all those documents can be based on bull shit. Evil exists just as good does. How a person actually gets possessed that I don't know and don't want to know.

You nailed it! We can't believe in one without the other....We can't pick and choose what we want to believe out of the Bible. If they say that any part of it isn't true then we are calling God a liar...and he can not lie!!!!

no and I think that a lot of mental illness goes un-diagnosed because of such silly ideas.

Science calls it mental illness often, but yes I do think it is possible

They do call it mental illness but sometimes it just needs to be called what it is! I do believe sometimes it is just mental illness but all of that can be delivered from. His name is JESUS!!!
I guess anything is possible there is enough stories.
Every time a dude gets married he sees it first hand.

Absolutely not. I believe in mental illness going untreated by religious zealots who would rather put on a grand production.
