Default Does exorcism really exist? - 06-20-2008, 08:33 AM

Here is the definition;An exorcism is a sacramental by which "the Church asks publicly and authoritatively in the name of Jesus Christ that a person or object be protected against the power of the Evil One and withdrawn from his dominion.Do you believe in exorcism or demon possession?
 


If A equals success, then the formula is A = X + Y+Z. X is work. Y is play. Z is keep your mouth shut.

Personally, I don't believe in demons but I believe they exists. This therefore brings in the act of dispossession. Biblically speaking, man cannot free himself from the power of demons without the help of God. God, we are told, sent his only begotten son so the world may be dispossessed from demonic spells.

I mean that I have no loyalty for demons but I have no doubt that they exist.

Can you reclarify this statement? What do you mean "no loyalty for demons"?

yeah, they do exist. I think all (or most) priests are trained on the basics of
it. When its actually required to perform an exorcism, they first have to get
authorization from superiors - which may lead to the bringing in of expert priests.

Default demon possession - 06-24-2008, 12:45 AM

Demon possession is real,kwani what do you think those wachawi na wagangaz do all day.

Back in the late 80s a group of students went to on tour to shimba hills and within their camp were ripe cashew nuts that no one picked.The hostel owner warned the students not touch the fruit in mombasa known as mkanju.The students with rebellious attitude ignored the warning went ahead and not only roasted the nuts but also ate the mikanju fruits.That night none of them could sleep.For an invisible man kept them busy with hard slaps till dawn.

They left the ver next morning.

This post is laughable. So we have demons, who have power over people, who in turn need GOD's intervention to chase the demons away by a trained priest. The fairy tell can't get better than this. I still ask this question, why should GOD interfeer with his creation plan to solve a demon issue? If you say that was part of his creation plan, then where is free will? Or simply said, why did he have to f.uck up creation? I guess he stis in the heaven laughing at a possessed guy, and then twaf!, he sends demons to the pigs and the guy is normal again. GOD must be one hell of a teaser. He enjoys sick jokes. That is why there will never be a GOD.
