The contents of the paper “Schizophrenia and cortical blindness: protective effects and implications for language” https://internal-journal.frontiersin...014.00940/full may have slipped your notice. I admit that the only reason that I came across the above paper was during my research into the language that Adam and Eve spoke.
The executive summary is that if you are blind, you are invulnerable to demons, but if you are deaf and blind, that protection is lost.
And then came the “killer line”:
As if that weren’t enough then what followed was a revelation
The writer then says:
I read that line and, as soon as I had finished it, I can honestly say that God revealed the answer to me. It is as clear as day, and I defy anyone to speak against this revelation!
Let us get our terms in a Biblical perspective:
“Blindness”: Jesus’s final words on blindness are given in John 9:1. “Joh:9:1: And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth.” Jesus explains that God makes people blind to demonstrate His power. To the atheist, this seems cruel. It seems cruel because we didn’t understand it until God revealed the reasons to me!
“Schizophrenia”: This is described in
M't:8:28: And when he was come to the other side into the country of the Gergesenes, there met him two possessed with devils, coming out of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no man might pass by that way.
M't:8:29: And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us before the time?
M't:8:30: And there was a good way off from them an herd of many swine feeding.
M't:8:31: So the devils besought him, saying, If thou cast us out, suffer us to go away into the herd of swine.
M't:8:32: And he said unto them, Go. And when they were come out, they went into the herd of swine: and, behold, the whole herd of swine ran violently down a steep place into the sea, and perished in the waters.
You will note that those possessed of Devils could see, for they recognized Jesus.
What do we learn from this?
We learn that we are born with a knowledge of good and evil. Our innocent thoughts keep demons at bay.
If we are blind from birth, we are protected from demons as we do not see the evil in the world.
Our soul’s resistance is weakened by the sight of the evil prospering and we may become possessed by demons because we can see the evil in the world: we are vulnerable to attack by demons, who show us perversions, lies, riches and deceit and our soul is influenced primarily by sight.
.
If we are only deaf, we cannot hear the Word of God, so even if we are also blind from birth, Christ will not protect us as we cannot accept Him as we cannot hear His Message. Demons find it simple to enter the soul of non-Christians.
Now look back at John 9:1-7. God has made this man blind to protect him from demons: now, atheists – “Was God cruel?”
If you know any one beset by demons, I would be interested in hearing from you, as there are a few experiments I would like to conduct.
The executive summary is that if you are blind, you are invulnerable to demons, but if you are deaf and blind, that protection is lost.
The literature on psychiatric disorders of the past half a century contains a claim that relates congenital and/or early blindness (CB ) to schizophrenia. The absence of reports of schizophrenic patients with CB has been repeatedly noted, and has led to the claim that CB confers a protective effect against schizophrenia (Chevigny and Braverman, 1950; Horrobin, 1979; Riscalla, 1980; Sanders et al., 2003; Silverstein et al., 2013a; Postmes et al., 2014, Landgraf and Osterheider, 2013).
“[…] most studies agree that “there has not been even one reported case of a congenitally blind person who developed schizophrenia” (Silverstein et al., 2013a, p. 1), …
Although the protective effects of CB have been recently documented […] People with Usher type I are congenitally deaf, start to lose vision early in life, and may develop schizophrenia (Dammeyer, 2012).
The question is why adding deafness to the picture seems to lift the protective benefits and the reasons for this phenomenon are “not clear at present” (Silverstein et al., 2013a, p. 8).
