Do you believe in Demons? have you met one?Are you Christian?

I met one. She sent me out of the class for no reason when I was at school. She was my maths teacher.

What part of my question did you misunderstand??? I was not bothered by a evil spirit from within me.

That creature was like another person… not in me!!

He could not get in me… the Lord Jesus Christ lives in me!

I believe in my heart that Jesus is Lord and that he was raised from the dead. I believe that Jesus came in the flesh… to be a sin offering… so that he could redeem me. I am a Christian… I cannot be demon possessed! Do you really think that the Holy Spirit would share a person’s heart/soul/spirit with a demon??? That is like... blasphemous!

What is wrong with your mind, man?! And where did you get the idea that I was a woman? There must be a devil beside you! (not literally).

What I experienced was nothing to do with my mind! Other people around saw the creature, he was persecuting me. That’s called oppression!

--- Edit:

I am not a homosexual! That is sin...

Satan might be... but I'm not!

I am trying to be pure and righteous in the sight of God. I would not be pure or righteous if I were a homosexual. The only thing that I am guilty of (in the past days) is anger (things can make me angry, I am human), and opposing the devil to his face (and that's not sin).

I am truly repentant of my sins... and God is faithful to forgive me. Why do people believe that you get persecuted because you sinned? Do you think Jesus sinned? I don't.

Edit:

I changed my image. Where did you get the 'homosexual' idea??

You should watch the movie Emily Rose. How much do we know? Less than we think.

Most instances of demon possession are indeed medical problems or likely some kind of mental illness. But I still defer to Hamlet, when he says, "There are more things in Heaven and Earth, Horatio, than are dreampt of in thy philosophy."

Like I said, I thought that movie intelligently looked at things from both angles. If you read the comments that she made on Jan. 25 - this is obviously an intelligent person who does not appreciate what she considers to be patronization.

Is she totally out to lunch? It is not for me to say. Could be a mental health issue... could be something else. Not for me to make that call. I am neither a psychiatric specialist or a diocesan exorcist...

there is no brainwashing in that. I am a Christian. I know all about fallen angels. The Bible says that they exist. and this individual committed no sin. fallen angelic existence is a fact... just as God's existence is fact. Jesus was tempted by the devil... and he saw the devil physically too.

spiritual warfare is extremely active when a Disciple is trying to do what is right. Consider Job, Paul, and the 7 churches in the first section of Revelation. Did Jesus sin? no. Did Job sin? no. Did Paul sin? no. and so on.

Paul's thorn was a evil spirit tormenting him. that thing was sent by Satan to torment him... why did God allow that?? So that Paul would not become conceited. Satan’s intention was harm… God intended to help Paul.

Oh… and what about Peter… Satan bothered him… he sifted him as wheat.

You think as you do because many of the Christians of today are worldly… and Satan doesn’t care to bother them… loving the world shows hatred toward God.

this individual is not demon possessed... but oppressed by Heylel. demon-possession is being controlled from within by a evil spirit. he/she was not being controlled... but tormented. oppression can occur to Christians... but not possession.

Yes, I'm a Christian, and I fully believe that demons exist. Just look at the Bible! There are SO many instances where they are present. No, I haven't personally met one, but I know people whom I fully trust who have. From what Iread, I think that the person in this thread is not experiencing demonic possession. I think that it is Satan trying to persecute and shake her faith in God. If she is truly a born-again Christian, the devil wants nothing more than to shake her, and destroy her!

cool down, iseek...

You can't take these people's words, personally.

I am Christian... I know God is real... I know fallen angelic beings are real too. I have dealt with them a lot. By the way... real Christians cannot be demon possessed... but only persecuted. Satan is a lion prowling around and about... he seeks to devour Christians... to destroy them. Especially when they are trying their best to do God's will... Satan has done a lot of things to deceive people... he doesn't want it undone... so to speak.

I think (seeker1) left... and isn't coming back to Yahoo! Answers because of the experiences here.

There is a book written by a secular psychologist named Dr. M. Scott Peck who did an analysis on human evil and did an extensive study on the possibility of there being a devil and demons. If you are interested on research from a doctor's point of view, it is a very good read.

He has other books, but I read this one and found it a fascinating study. Disturbing, but fascinating.

Demons are just as real as angels. I have had much experience with them. One night, one put a picture in my mind of my niece gutted. Then it spoke to my mind and said that he will gut her like that if I don't stop doing the good things I am doing. They used to shake me in my bed a lot. Don't be afraid though. I have learned to not be afaid of them. The reason is because I believe in Jesus and am God's son. I am not scared at all that he will kill my niece or harm me in any way.

as with many subjects, believe may be the best that I can do and, that, of course, implies that I may have some doubts too. I'd rather take my dose of medicine for being honest than to be found a liar or, worse, a teller of half truths.

Yes, in a way, to all 3 questions.

I do believe in demons, I have had expiriences with them, and I am Catholic.

I was at a friend's house, and I felt as if a demon was in the room with me...later on it shook the bed. (I was freaked). As a Catholic, I believe in good and evil, and that Lucifer was cast out of Heaven and that he is the leader of devils...demons...Yes, they are real...unfortunately.

Yes to all three. And I'm not being funny or trying to be smart, but I hardly ever tell the story. If you know me you'd believe me, but if you don't know me, you wouldn't believe me in a million years.
