Possession is when Satan enters and takes over the physical and mental capabilities of a victim, however, the soul and will remains free.
atan acts through the victim without the victim's consent, thus the victim is morally blameless.
Satan does not act alone when he possesses an individual.
Such an example is found in Luke 8:30 the case of the possessed man in the territory of the Gerasenes: "Then Jesus asked him, "What is your name?" He replied, "Legion," because many demons had entered him ".
Victim speaks or understands unknown languages without ever studying the language being spoken or heard
Many people are fascinated with the notion of exorcism, as seen with the flocks of theatergoers who rushed to see vomit and head spinning in the Exorcist films
With a heavy religious history, have you ever stopped to think where the practice of exorcism originated and evolved?
It is believed to have originated in the Shamanistic beliefs dating back to prehistory.
This passage set a precedent and the notion of demonic possession has become part of the Christian belief system since its start.
To this day, exorcism is still recognized as a legitimate practice within Catholicism, Eastern Orthodox, and some Protestant sects.
