So what you’re telling me is that Legion’s case matched all the symptoms of a disease, but it wasn’t actually that disease? That does not make a lot of sense.

Charles
Crawford denies, like all Christadelphians, the existence of demons
as actual spiritual entities, they regard demons “medical
conditions that afflict man, and more generally, all the adverse
conditions in nature that afflict man”. Although a lot of what
they say on this subject makes sense, I would still like to know
their explanation of the innumerous videos of demons being cast out
in Jesus’ name, to be found on the internet.

And
have they ever listened to the
extensive interview, on youtube, with Roger Morneau, ‘A Trip into the
Supernatural’? Morneau was for some time a member of a high satanic
organization in Montreal, Canada, and what he experienced and talks
about surely are not ‘medical conditions’!

And
what about aliens and alien abductions? How could they possibly be
called ‘medical conditions’?!?

WHAT KIND OF STUFF ARE YOU TELLING PEOPLE? YOU PROBALY HAVN’T DEAL WITH ANY KIND OF DEMON OR SPIRITUAL WARFARE. THE MEDICAL COMMUNITY WOULD SAID SOMETHING AS YOU STATED; BUT THE TRUE IS THAT DEMONS ARE REAL, SO ARE ANGELS. THAT WHAT CHRIST CASTED OUT THE THE PERSON WAS DEMON, AND THEY WERE MANY

As explained in detail at the linked answer http://bibleq.info/answer/1310/, the term “demons” was used to speak about illnesses that they could not understand the cause of. In this case, the illness was clearly a mental illness. Legion only existed in the mind of the man. When he was cured by Jesus, there was no longer a place in the man’s mind for Legion, and so there was no “Legion”.

Rick, (14) my wife Deb was just talking about this recently and I asked her the same question you posed
The demons were not fallen angels, as in the time when Lucifer and his mates got thrown out of Heaven.
In fact they are the evil spirits that man has conjered up and have existed since the fall of man.
It makes Sense, Jesus infact said (Luke 11: 24-26)
when evil spirits are cast out they go thru arid places seeking rest and do not find it they eventually go back to the man they left ,find it clean and go in taking seven
more spirits more wicked than the first.
Once we are clean we have to be vigilant to the decaying world and its influential spirits.
The demons went out into the pigs,and destroyed the pigs, but the demons themselves went out into the world.
This Rick is a great analogy for us as men to think about
because you and I have fought our Demons and with the
grace and help of Jesus we will overcome the evil of this world. God (JesusChrist) Bless You.

I don’t know why I’m searching info about Demonology online but I do see most of the world doing exactly what the bible talked about thousands of years ago regarding man being deceived by these dark spirits. The western world has opened itself up to new age concepts introduced in Europe a hundred years ago and we are being trajically mislead by these demons. I think the media has been a great influence on turning peoples minds from Jesus. I grew up in the 80s and 90s and was won over by rock music and violent cinema and pornography and dedicated my life to this destructive way. Luckily I’m still alive and see the world differently. Turn off our TV’s and cap our internet to keep these destructive forces at bay.

Sorry to burst your bubble brotheryochanan, but there are definitely demon spirits that hinder, interfere and possess humans. I have worked on a team that has cast them out by the power of the Holy Spirit. I have seen them manifest in people, they have shown themselves to me and I have seen them leave “to wander in dry & desolate places” Repentance & Forgiveness are what breaks their legal bond to interfere in the persons life, then they can be cast out by the power of Jesus’ name. If the person slips back into the lifestyle that allowed the demon access they can come back sevenfold.

There were no demons. We cannot let our western minds decide for ourselves what is what and what is not. There are no possessions in the OT. It was not until after the persian exile that the jews adopted this persian belief. There is much ado about this demon belief. Malaria was considered a demon possession until a doctor developed a pill. Are demons also at the mercy of the pharmacist? The key to this verse is… and he (legion) was in his right mind, meaning sane. At no other time did demons have a chit chat with Jesus but this one did. The pigs were destroyed (roman food source) as a sign to the crazy man that the demons were gone. Legion needed to see the sign of his wellness. Theres more but that is food for thought.
