Persecution: Christians arrested for expelling a demon from a child
If you click on the link, please note that the title of this news is confusing and misleading. I guess expecting proper grammar from journalists is like expecting Jews to praise Jesus. :sigh: I tried to fix the title (corrections in red), eliminating the confusion.

Re: Persecution: Christians arrested for expelling a demon from a child
Two reasons suggest themselves. One is that the arresting authorities had never read God's statement on this. Clearly if they had read it either they hadn't understood it at the time or, subsequently, have adopted what they've deemed a higher authority to order their responses thenceforth.
The other is that they reject God outright. Perhaps someone could read His position (in this case on discipline) but apply it according to secular lights "in this day and age" where democratic regimes have superseded superstitious systems, as they may claim. Fine! To live and move and have one's being within such a primum mobile is a lifestyle option. Zeus may approve. God does not. But how does a godless administration deal with demon possession? God has explained the essential prerequisite for effective exorcisms in detail: Proverbs 20:30 The blueness of a wound cleanseth away evil: so do stripes the inward parts of the belly. Not only does God explain WHY discipline is necessary, He even explains HOW it works. Proverbs includes a differentiation between effective and impotent words. God hears what we say. Get it right and anything is possible. Get it wrong and God rejects even the prayer for demoniacs BECAUSE those gabbled words had no meaning and the poisoned heart is worthless. Proverbs 10:19-20 In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth his lips is wise. The tongue of the just is as choice silver: the heart of the wicked is little worth. |

That article is too long and whiny to read in its entirety, Sister. But what stands out is this:

I thoroughly approve of exorcising demons from children and, let's be honest, an exorcism is a violent and dangerous undertaking with a high mortality rate.
I must say, though, that this is the kind of thing best left to experts, such as our Landover Baptist Church pastors, who understand the proper procedures, and not outsourced to the next door neighbors. Trained personnel know, for example, that dunking a child in water will not expel a demon--that's how you detect witches. For an exorcism, you need fire. |
