Hello Alexei, welcome to Landover. Your choice of Scripture helps us to understand the way unclean spirits present themselves and the cutting is very prevalent among the EMO and grindcore communities as some of us here have witnessed. Now you may think that if some freak wants to drain out their blood, sat in the corner dressed in Victoriana and wearing too much marcasite, the sooner they do so the better just as long as it's before they start breeding but Jesus helps us to see that even such abandoned wretches should be considered for a second chance.
In this case that involves exorcism.
Mark 5 . KJV . look up
1 They came over unto the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes.
2-4 And when he was come out of the ship, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit, who had his dwelling among the tombs; and no man could bind him, no, not with chains: Because that he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been plucked asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces: neither could any man tame him.
5 And always, night and day, he was in the mountains, and in the tombs, crying, and cutting himself with stones.
6-8 But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshipped him, and cried with a loud voice, and said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the most high God? I adjure thee by God, that thou torment me not. For he said unto him, Come out of the man, thou unclean spirit.
Now if you've never been to a grindcore concert
.—
.I use the term loosely
.—
.firstly I cannot recommend that you ever do so and secondly I hesitate to describe the sorts of things you'd see there. Or be invited to participate in. Different demons need to alert one another to their presence which can be achieved through grinding down the possessed. Bodily mutilations, "secret" jewellery, idiotic hand signals and/or facial expressions, particular styles of make-up and/or fragrances, all these are signs used by demons and of course we can see them too. The facial piercings, the dumb nickel-and-iridium dragon ring with coral eyes, the sitting around all languid like with a forefinger poked in your ear, the ready sneer, the panda eyes, the garden smells.
At best.
Some of them want to smell more like a bear pit than a compost heap but I'm not going to intrude my opinions or comment in any way except to show that when Jesus met such an individual, one who'd progressed on to the cutting, He showed compassion. That demoniac was set free to praise Jesus but for so many in the modern community of freaks and dip-heads that opportunity never comes. Perhaps this is what you were referring to?
.We both look forward to fellowshipping with you and to the day when we can praise Jesus forever!
.Hallelujah!!
