Where do you get this stuff??? Neil Armstrong died from complications after surgery at the age of 82. Buzz Aldrin is still living 45 years after his walk on the moon.
And again…Where do you get this stuff???
Yes. 1/3 is the number.
Oh just those ancient Summerian / Akadian ones, that where around at about the same time as the Children of Ad and the Son’s of Adad… Why, is it bothersome? All hail… Hera, the Goddess with Scale’s if you could even class that as her real name… (hint)
I have no idea why, but thanks.
Contrary to popular belief, the generations which came before us were not imbeciles. In many ways, they were far more intelligent than we are today.
There were many demons in Jesus’ day because there was a great deal of idolatry and other grievous sins going on with no sacraments to counter it all. God bless you.
Do you think demons were gravitating near Jesus because He is he Messiah and were trying to fight a spiritual battle?
Did the start of baptizing people help lower the number of demons around?
I read in Ven. Mary of Agreda’s The Mystical City of God that Satan and his demons had their eye on Jesus all throughout His life because they thought that He could be the Messiah. At the point in time when all the prophesies about Jesus the Messiah were all fulfilled and Jesus says on His cross: It is finished – Satan and the demons then knew without a doubt that Jesus was the Messiah, says Ven. Mary of Agreda. But I don’t know if demons gravitated towards Jesus while He was on earth. I suppose they may have, but I don’t know. God bless you.
Most definitely, Faith1960!
it is a mistake to think that the presence of Holy persons or objects keeps demons away. They can both be present at the same time, otherwise no actual exorcisms would be necessary. The demons would simply flee when a holy person or object came near. Not so. I’ve read accounts of the Blessed Sacrament being used to repel demons during the Rite and it failing and causing a bigger commotion then usual when the Priest attempts to either give Communion to the possessed or exposes it for confirmation of demonic presence. Yikes!
I am very sorry, but what I had meant to say is that the start of baptizing people* reduced the number of demonic possessions*, not necessarily the number of demons that were around. This I have read, and this makes perfect sense. God bless you.
It is not a mistake to think that holy objects and holy people repel demons.Hello Faith.

It’s ok. I wasn’t clear in my question.
No, your question was clear, Faith1960 – I just jumped the gun and didn’t read your question the right way because I knew from my spiritual reading that baptisms reduce demonic possessions – and this bit of info was all I was focused on.
I meant did baptism help to lower the number of demons we saw in the NT.Hello Faith.
