Does the devil have the power to destroy belongings?

[KennC]

Being part of an exorcism (something i did not search at all) and being curious of all that pertains to one is attention the devil does not need. Curiosity killed the cat!

Well I’m sorry but you seem to try and hold both positions, on one hand you reject “attention given is attention received” in that, the devil prefers to hide and yet claim curiousity is dangerous, being in and of itself “attention given is attention received” resultng in curiousity killed the cat???

All in all for me, I’ll stick to “resist him and he will flee” and “I shall fear no evil for the Lord is with me” … out of mind, out of sight.

God Bless,

This is untrue…I have said to use moderation or a balance. To put too much attention or no attention at all are both extreme and not necessarily a good position.

on one hand you reject “attention given is attention received” in that, the devil prefers to hide

True, the devil does like to hide…he would prefer we totally ignore him…

and yet claim curiousity is dangerous, being in and of itself “attention given is attention received” resultng in curiousity killed the cat???

Yes, curiosity can be pathological…why would there be any reason to know about the going on of an exorcism. Curiosity could open you to some dangerous stuff…but…it might be a very good thing to know the reasoning behind why one becomes ‘possessed’…

All in all for me, I’ll stick to “resist him and he will flee” and “I shall fear no evil for the Lord is with me” …

You have to know what your’re resisting…there are three sources to discern anything…human, divine and demonic…or a combination of thereof…you may think it is the devil, but it just may be an imperfection. You will never be able to deal with it if you always blame the devil for it!
out of mind, out of sight.

Wrong! Just because he is not in most peoples’ minds doesn’t mean he is out of sight…au contraire! I would heartily advise you to read St John Bosco or Padre Pio!

God Bless,

God bless you also!

By the 1500s he was getting less obviouse and even more refined… now he was having people strangled then burnt for bringing translations of the Bible to the common peasant man.

Satan definatley has his hand print on that Church edict !

Today he is even more suttle…

and until today, there are more divisions among “more refined” Bible believers.

Shoshana; I never got your thoughts on the candles, cats etc.thing? It’s a popular view amoung some fundamentalists etc. that these are prime carriers of demons and such. Do you believe this?
