| | Demonic possession - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Demonic possession is the belief in a form of spiritual possession; specifically, one or more demons are said to enter a living or dead human or animal body or an object with the intention of using it for a purpose, normally evil but sometimes instead as a punishment or test. | | | It is said by several spiritual belief systems that a demonic possession can be "cured" by an exorcism that enables the exorcist to expel the demon or demons from the possessed subject or object. | | | Involuntary possession, according to these theologians, cannot be negated because this would imply the negation of the cases mentioned in the New Testament (12, some of them repeated in more than one Gospel) and, by extension, the veracity of it. |

| | Demonology - A Comprehensive Guide |
| | Demon possession - that is, a human who has become inhabited or "taken over" by a demon and who cannot, consequently, exercise his own will - is noted in the New Testament, specifically in Mark, Chapter 5, ver. | | | Another opinion was that demons were intermediaries between men and gods, and that demons had once been men. | | | Ancients also had a sort of faith in the prophetic words spoken by those whom they believed to be possessed by demons, and this was sometimes a component of ancient oracles. |

| | Demonic Possession |
| | An individual who is possessed will react violently to the presentation of anything with a religious context, out of fear that harm will come to them; the reaction is elicited merely from being exposed to something such as a Bible or a priest. | | | The delusions can be ones of thought insertion, thought broadcasting, delusions of guilt, delusions of grandeur, such as being God (or a demon), or delusions that God (or a demon) is speaking to the person and giving commands for a special mission (5). | | | On the other hand, the possibility that demonic possession is a real occurrence cannot yet be rejected; no thoroughly decisive evidence exists to the contrary. |

| | How do we distinguish a psychological disorder from demon possession? |
| | This seems to fall in line with Scripture that repeatedly relates idol worship with the actual worship of demons (Leviticus 17:7; Deuteronomy 32:17; Psalm 106:37; 1 Corinthians 10:20), so it should not be surprising that involvement with those religions or their practices could lead to demon possession. | | | In reviewing the verses in which Jesus healed diseases that were caused by demon possession and those that were not, it is difficult to distinguish between the two for we are not given a list of characteristics that set them apart from one another. | | | In one case, the epilepsy caused by demon possession could be traced to “childhood” (Mark 9:21) but not to birth. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Demonic Possession |
| | But the influence of the demon, as we know from Scripture and the history of the Church, goes further still. | | | Yet, evil as the possessing spirits were, they could not help testifying to Christ's Divine mission (Matthew 8:29; Mark 1:24, 34; 3:12; 5:7; Luke 4:34, 41; 8:28). | | | The infidel policy on the question is to deny the possibility of possession in any circumstances, either on the supposition, that there are no evil spirits in existence, or that they are powerless to influence the human body in the manner described. |

| | Demonic Possession in Scientology |
| | In March 1996, Erlich engaged in a lengthy discussion on ARS (alt.religion.scientology) of the roles of demonic possession and exorcism in the Scientology belief system. | | | It's a NOTs (OT4-7) procedure where, on a particularly unresponsive, dead or otherwise poorly delusioned body thetan, the chump is instructed to "mock up" (that is create in his mind) an energy hand and to scoop up the body thetan with it and simply fling the BT away. | | | It seems to me that if the public realized the scienocult was not only atheist, but also practiced occult exorcism, their bait-and-switch religion would be universally held in contempt, just as they well deserve to be. |
