There is "absolutely" no Biblical reason to believe "Possession" (of a person) is real. I've stated "many times" before, if anyone wants to go into "Biblical facts", I'm quite "ready". I can say, not even "once" anyone wanted to get into blogs of this nature with me. I have "asked" many times.
Oppression and Possession, are quite two different things. To be "Possessed" would mean "Satan" took your soul, and your actions were completely guided by him. I don't believe in that at all.
To be "Oppressed", would mean you had a "guiding influence" of a "Demonic nature". God has gave us "Complete" freedom of choice. He can't take that (Biblical wise- without being un-true to his word), but he also gave "Satan" the complete freedom, to guide also.
Here's the reason I started to "write" this blog. I was watching the news, and some "killer" said he was "possessed" by the "devil". He wasn't. Kinda like "The Devil made me do it".
When "Lucifer" rebelled against "God". 1/3 of the angels in Heaven decided to "follow". Now the Bible states that the "number of Angels" in in heaven were "enumerable" (meaning a number we can't count). The number isn't stated, but "God's Angels (on his side) followed also.
So lets take this number "enumerable". Which is a number you couldn't count to. And listen to what "God says". One "third" of that many "fallen angels" came to earth and live here among us. We just can't see them. Yet we call fallen angels (Demons). God's "good" angels followed also. I got no reason to believe there are not the "same amount" on both sides.
God is very "Clear" in a Bible sense. Help people, invite strangers, you may meet "Angels" unaware. In other words, he tells us.. we don't know who we actually meet are. They could be "Angels".
David "Berkowitz" (The Son of Sam killer), clearly invited the "Devil" in. Before you get all "nutsy" on me, I'll say why. God has "given" the same power to the "fallen angels (bad ones)", as the good ones. They can do the same "miracles", they can do alot. If you want to know more, read the Bible. I'll just say.. Satan can do the same stuff here, as God can basically. The "Egyptians in Pharoah's court were able to perform the same miracles Moses did". He set it up that way. For a "reason". To let people be "free", and let them have choices.
David "Berkowitz" Invited the "Devil" in before he killed all those people. It's "Akin" to this. You can open your "door" to anyone you want. If you hang with "killers" you will open your door to them. If you hang with Christians, you will open your door to them. "Berkowitz", was dabbling in "Satanism" long before the "killings". He opened the door to being "oppressed" (not possessed). He basically. let the "devil in". Since God "never" said we "or even the devil" couldn't have freedom. That meant the "devil" was in his life. Free to "guide him", free to make "suggestions in his head", but Satan was "never free" to completely posess or control him. Satan was allowed to make "suggestions" on what this man already thought.
This sounds "bad and somewhat crazy". I already know that. But "God" uses our "thoughts, our actions" and alot to prove he is "stronger" overall. David "Berkowitz", is now a "Born Again Christian". Just like he let "Satan in Before", he changed and let "God in". I fully believe he is a "changed man".
I don't expect "anyone here" to just agree with what I say. Personally, I'd rather you don't. All I know, is I studied the Bible for like 8 years. I needed to learn "what I felt" without anyone telling me what to feel.
I'll tell "Anyone". Don't listen to me, don't listen to anyone. Seek for "YOURSELF"!
