Four questions central to the issue are considered: (1) What physical and/or psychological symptoms are recorded in Scripture in connection with demon possession? (2) Does Scripture indicate that all illness is of demonic causation? (3) What does Scripture say about the “psychological demons” so frequently spoken of today among some groups of Christians? (4) What factors can be used to differentiate demon possession from mental illness? |
