Query for practicing Anabaptists:
Some friends of ours were discussing what appears to be an increase in demonic activity and demon possession, so much so that there is an increased number of calls for exorcists (specialists who help with deliverance prayers and support). Our friends also feel the increase in crime may also be driven by demons.
What are the perspectives of you and your fellowship on this observation? Is there an increase in demonic activity and possession?

Not to discredit your theory as I think you have a point, but I think hard drugs has something to do with the increase in crime as well.

I believe hard drugs and addiction are closely related to demonic possession.steve-in-kville wrote: ↑Thu Apr 13, 2023 10:33 amNot to discredit your theory as I think you have a point, but I think hard drugs has something to do with the increase in crime as well.

In addition to answers to the OP question, I would like to hear your thoughts on the connections between demonic activity, drug addictions and crime.steve-in-kville wrote: ↑Thu Apr 13, 2023 1:44 pmI could follow that line of thought...Josh wrote: ↑Thu Apr 13, 2023 11:40 amI believe hard drugs and addiction are closely related to demonic possession.steve-in-kville wrote: ↑Thu Apr 13, 2023 10:33 am

The Bible certainly sees that relation. The greek word pharmakaia that is often used for sorcery also includes substance (ab)use (as in pharmacy).MaxPC wrote: ↑Thu Apr 13, 2023 1:57 pmIn addition to answers to the OP question, I would like to hear your thoughts on the connections between demonic activity, drug addictions and crime.
