VIDEO: People Thought She Was Ill, but It Was Soon Clear… She Was POSSESSED!

When they see this video suddenly everyone will be divided into two big categories. Those that will think that this girl was possessed and those that will think she is surely suffering from some form of a disease.
The men that saw her looking horribly unwell went to see what was wrong. The girl from Venezuela only seemed to get worse. With blood pouring all over her she suddenly began to convulse in an unnatural way and her body got a shape that looked out of this world. Normal people can’t bend in this way and the men were terrified but still tried to help her in any way in which they could.
According to cmf.org.uk, Christians have held many different views on how we should apply New Testament accounts of demon possession (or ‘demonisation’) to the construction of a contemporary understanding of spiritual and mental disease. Following the enlightenment, and particularly within more academic or scientific circles, it has been popular to ‘demythologize’ the Gospel stories of demon possession. Anthropologists, psychotherapists, psychologists and psychiatrists see beliefs about demonology as being culturally or socially determined explanations for problems which can otherwise be fully explained in sociological, psychodynamic, psychological or psychiatric terms. However, many Christians (particularly in some charismatic circles) still believe that demons really do exist as actual spiritual entities and that they can adversely affect or invade the lives of men and women today.
Before giving consideration to the Gospel accounts of demonization, it is interesting to reflect briefly on some of the general issues concerned here. For example, how did Jesus respond to the erroneous scientific views of His time? We have no account of Jesus ever trying to correct prevailing beliefs that the earth was flat. He does not seem to have engaged with Luke in a dialogue about the etiology of any of the illnesses that He healed. Of course, His mission was not to interfere with the scientific accumulation of human knowledge about the world and the universe but to win back those who were spiritually lost because of sin. We presume, therefore, that He shared our human limitations in terms of His understanding of other matters. To ‘go along with’ prevailing errors of a medical or scientific kind was not dishonesty, but rather a sharing of our human limitations.
If mental illness and demonization are not simply different names for or different models of understanding of. the same thing, then we are left then with two possibilities. Either they are unrelated phenomena, or else there is some kind of association between them. Of course, even if they are unrelated, they may stilt be confused with each other because of superficial similarities. If they are related, however, we need to understand the nature of the connection between them. Thus, we may be faced with a differential diagnostic problem. Either we need to distinguish which of these two entities we are dealing with, or else we need to identify which is the primary problem which led to the other as a secondary ‘complication’. Alternatively, perhaps we may need to identify a third, independent, variable which gives rise to both demonisation and mental illness.
