He said this because I didn't agree with his spiritual ideas/ beliefs. What can I say to him about this? Is that a mean thing to say?

What is wrong with this? The fact that he is unwilling to respect your decision enough to even accept that they came from a human being, but instead must blame it on an evil entity. Think about it--this was YOUR opinion. If he cannot accept your right to even have that opinion, without the handy explanation of you being possessed, he's got a very low opinion of you. That's what's wrong with it. That and, as others here have warned, he could prove dangerous on the internal excuse that he's not hurting YOU, he's saving you from those evil spirits, and there's nothing wrong with hurting evil spirits.

What can you say? At a point when you aren't arguing, you can sit down with him and say, "Did you mean that?" If he says yes, ask him to explain his theory of evil spirits to you and act based on that... I strongly suggest counseling. Assuming you go to a relatively sane church, religious counseling might be best, because if he hears that the theory is unhealthy from a PREACHER, he's extra likely to believe it. Otherwise, couples counseling. That's assuming you want to stay with the guy. If he says no, that's easy--tell him it scared you and that if he ever says such a thing again, you WILL assume he's crazy and you will behave accordingly. OH--and ask why he said it if he didn't believe it.

Is this mean? It depends on if he really meant it. If he did, it may not have been intentionally malicious--but it was sure unintentionally malicious. As others have said... don't just laugh this off. Be extra careful, 'kay?

He is being very irrational, he is not thinking this clearly, and I would advise you to think this situation through. Obviously he believes in the supernatural. He is not seeing you for what you are but seeing you and judging you with his beliefs that are very dogmatic. You probably spoken to him about the problems you both have or arise. If he didn’t already change his mind or willing to discuss it with you rationally and reasonably then he is being closed minded. He already has it in his mind what should and will be in his presence. In addition does he have any evidence to proof have any evil spirits or spirits at all to show proof to you and others that what is happening is happening? People can’t just proclaim to know something without anything to show. I know in our society if a person claims to belief in something everyone else tends to be quiet because it is other people’s faith, but this is absurd. When any other field in our lives we need to show proof for anything. Imagine forty years ago if some guy just said DNA exists. No one in their right mind would believe him, until he showed proof and gave evidence, which we know DNA has given proof time and time again. If your husband is concerned if anything if at all is wrong with you, I suspect that it might be something psychologically, and not spirits at all. I’m not proposing that something might be wrong with you already. Also ask yourself if other people have perceived you that way as well, if so seek professional help (meaning doctors not clerical). From your question not know anything else I suspect that your husband has the problem, not you. Don’t believe anything until you do research yourself do convince yourself what is really happening. And remember
PEOPLE WHO BELIEVE ABSURDTIES WILL COMMIT ATROCITIES!

If you are both Christians, I think you shouldn't ignore this too easily, but it shouldn't be your husband to convince you of your sins, because only the Holy Spirit can do that. Don't be too sure that you don't have evil spirits. I've witnessed several cases of exorcism and wonder if there are people who are completely free from every demonic influence. To test yourself: if you can be quiet and have peace with every circumstance (even terrible things that could happen), this would indicate that you are really free.

Just pray humbly that if you are under some demonic influence, that God will reveal this to you. Be honest to yourself.

And tell your husband he should pray for you instead of saying such things!

well what he said was wrong. It is a well used phrase,but a misused one.

Is your hubby Christian and you are not? If he is trying to win you over to his side, that is not the way to do it.
From now on, perhaps if he initiates the conversation just ask him to respect you as his wife that you do not wish to discuss this and if you have questions you will ask him. Respect his faith enough to understand his views that what he said was not to hurt you, but many people use this approach as a scare tactic, ( not to be mean, but fervently out of love) to make you see the error of your ways.

One can be influenced by evil both CHristians and non Christians, to be possessed, you have to do alot to get evil's attention... perhaps your husband should have said, uninformed ( since you don't see his view point) but possessed??? I question that one. Just because one isn't a CHristian doesn't mean that they are subject to evil spirits channeling through them... your lifestyle should dictate this, but if you are living against the will of God, then you are more suseptible to the influence of ...

Your hubby should take a look in the bible, not everyone who didn't believe was possessed.
Sounds like you both need to talk to a pastor to help you both better understand...

Nothing, it just means his beliefs are illogical, his communication skills are poor (he is not able to convince you), his sense of judgement is very poor.
You seem to be strong headed and I am sure evil spirits cannot enter you.
Tell him if he continues in this weak-headed manner, evil spirits will find it easier to enter and dwell in him.

He is showing some symptoms of a mental disorder called schizophrenia. There is an efficient treatment for that called zyprexa.(Use only as directed, talk to a doctor).
This mental disorder, if not treated, often gets worse with time.

Sounds like hubby had himself a few spirits too and their names were Jack Daniels, Jim Beam, and Johnny Walker.

Yes it is a mean thing to say, but maybe he truely believes you have demons. Let him know how you feel. I'd hope he wouldn't be saying that just because you disagree with him on issues.

No that was not nice
If you feel you have evil spirits in you then it is a possibility
Don't listen to others only you know you
