The Bible states that 1/3 of the angels in heaven were cast out with Satan. Satan appeared to Jesus as an angel of light to tempt Him. Demons are fallen angels who manifest themselves as dead people and they are actually evil spirits. They are powerful but they are not powerful than God. There are many people who are possessed by these fallen angels especailly those that tamper with the supernatural and witchcraft create an avenue for the devil and angels to take control of us. That is why it is clearly outlined in Isaiah and Revelation to avoid such people who practice these things. We are in a battle over our souls - God and Satan.

Yes Jesus had the power from God to accomplish this and many other miracles.
Jesus was a perfect man. His power came from God. He said he expelled the demons, by God's finger, Luke 11:20.
Demons are angels who left the authority of Heaven, rebells, who follow Satan in making up a lifestyle out side of God's laws.
Jude 6 And the angels that did not keep their original positions but forsook their own proper dwelling place he has reserved with eternal bonds under dense darkness for the judgment of the great day.

Yeah I believe it. I also believe in both demons and exorcisms because I think that even people who don't believe in a God should at least believe in a devil since there is a lot of evidence that attacks have taken place. Some people die from this kind of stuff!!! It's not fake no matter how much Hollywood glamourmizes it or how documentaries try to prove it phony. You just can't deny it.

According to the Bible, Jesus worked many miracles. This particular one is in Matthew 17: 14-20; Luke 9:37-43; and Mark 9:14-29. My faith tells me yes, Jesus did do this. Yes, I think people can be possessed. Look at some of the serial killers throughout history.

I absolutely believed this happened. He healed many people with different problems.
Demons and angels and the spiritual world is more permanent than this world because it has no end. We are constantly surrounded by angels and demons. There is constantly a struggle for our souls that happens every single day in the heavenlies.
I know I must sound crazy, but you asked if I believe in either of those things and I do.

Of course !!! Especially in Africa, there are so many voodoo activities going on, so much so that it becomes a tradition rather than religious or evil practice.
You have to do more research into it if and look at documentaries about exorcism, its not just in the movies you know, there is indeed a spiritual battle going on out there that your eyes can't see.

Do you mean Jesus healed a boy of a demon? Like he took the demon out of the boy?
If the boy really had a demon then Jesus who had the ultimate relationship with God truly could have rid the boy of it.
I do believe in Demons. I believe they are fallen angels sent to deceive us on God's existence.

This happened more than once in scripture. Do I really believe in demons? Yes, why is that so strange??? There are angels, and demon, Satan and God.....and Heaven and Hell. Just because something sounds unbelievable to our little minds doesn't make it untrue. And they say Christians are closed minded!

It's a metaphor for Jesus releasing the boy from atheism and converting him to Jesus' word. Rather mean, really, calling us demons.
