Are the deaf and mute possed by devils?

Some are - Those who have not accepted Christ.

Some are not - John 9 (Blind, not deaf..but the same context applies, I believe)

NO NO NO.....it's a physiological condition....they have just as good a chance at being possessed by the demonic as people that have full hearing and can talk.
I refuse to use scripture to prove this one!

thanks for listening.

Having 2 non verbal children with autism.....I have had people tell me they are demon posessed which is a rather cruel thing to say to a parent of special needs children

There are days when I think my son is...but my daughter no way. I don't have any scriptures to back it up yet maybe when I have more time I can come back and backditup with one.

Some non Christian people that are mute and/or deaf are possessed. Just like some non Christian people that can both hear and talk are possessed. I don't have time to give specific verses right now but you will read in the N.T. that if someone has the Holy Spirit they can't be possessed and you'll also read that all because someone is deaf or mute it is not always because of sin or demon possession.

My point is this:

Don't go overboard with the demon possession stuff! There are too many "ministries" out there that do this and it makes me sick and it hurts people in the long run.

Thanks again for listening.

True. I hear some that say demons are to blame for every sin and that Christians can be possessed. That is unbiblical. At the same time I think most Baptist churches don't talk enough about demons, at least from my experience. It is to easy to fall into either the left or right ditch on theological issues as a former pastor of mine always said. We need to strive for the narrow road.

Totally agreed on what you said here!!!
I've never really heard any Baptist preacher talk about literal demon possession. I did hear one preacher tell someone that if you actually get possessed by a real demon...call a Catholic priest! LOL

I had a friend who was a Calvinistic Baptist minister. For most of the time I knew him he could see as good as anyone I knew. Until a few years ago, when he became consumed with greed and luqor! All of the sudden he started having difficulty reading scripture which I believe to be the devil hitting him twice with the same stick! Demons can cause physiological problems!
