Possession is when the demons enter a person. Oppression is when negative thoughts are planted, but doesn't enter/possess that person.
Since this Cho incident, are we guilty of denying that demons possess people? Do demons get away with murder this way?

The Word declares our spirit knows ALL things...
Discerning takes paying attention to that spirit.
Satan comes to kill, steal and destroy.

I would never be able to guess who is demon possessed or oppressed because I do not have the gift of discernment, so I would only be guessing and that is not what that gift is all about. I read from someone elses question that this fellow was autistic which is nothing to do with demons.

Hi Tami this is a very good question,you are correct regarding possession and oppression, basically authentic demonic possession is very rare but demonic oppression is very common and prevalent.
I read the life story of Fr.Gabriele Amorth who was the official exorcist in Rome for 50yrs and it is an incredible story into this field of demonic activity.
Many Ministers in the Protestant faith have testified also to the reality of this evil and yet people even Christian people refuse to take it seriously, and this according to Gabriel Amorth is one of the main reasons for the explosion of murders,rapes and even suicides in todays societies.

You try to look for a way to blame 'demons' for the cho incident because it's always easier to try and blame some outside force. Blame demons, blame books, blame movies, blame tv shows, blame video games-blame everything accept the person who actually committed the act. People who blame outside forces are too scared to admith the truth. And the truth is this-that kind of darkness really is capable of residing within the human psyche. We have seen the monsters, and they are us. People are quite capable of doing sick, murderous things all by themselves without being controlled by some supernatural force.

i ought to assert that I completely agree which comprise your pal. For each thing that God has devil has his counterfeit. I maximum unquestionably believe that unbelievers could be possessed ... Judas Iscariot, Hitler, Stalin, all those leaders who have been out to develop into infamous by making use of mendacity, cheating, killing, etc. to income potential in this international to no longer point out all those suggested in the Bible. 2 issues to bear in mind ... real believers have the Holy Spirit indwelling them and could't be possessed however the unbelievers can and are in accordance to God's sovereignty. God enables demon possession to end His will. real believers could be motivated by making use of demons the longer they stay out of fellowship with God and are engaged on their very very own devoid of the Holy Spirit's administration. Eph. 6:12 For we don't try against against flesh and blood, yet against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against non secular host of wickedness in the heavenly places. If we ought to open our non secular eyes, i think we would all be horrified at what we would see. all the angelic forces and demonic forces struggling with. If devil had his way, we would all be ineffective and going to hell with him and his demons. He is conscious he's on a short leash and is upping his impact on the unsuspecting to pull them into the eternal lake of hearth with him and his demons. there is not any longer something he'd like extra appropriate than for us to no longer believe he exists or see him because of the fact the caricature character with the pink journey, horns and tail with a pitchfork. people desperately ought to awaken to certainty and the certainty which could in straight forward terms be got here upon in the word of God ... the Bible.

Christians can tell if it's something common knowledge from science doesn't already know. For instance, mental illnesses, epilepsy, etc were all considered "demons." God's word in the bible didn't seem to mention anything about how to help people who need it mentally.

You made a mistake here, Demons don't possess people. Angels do this dirty work...
