Demonic Influences

[kdet]

Howm many of you believe in demonic influences?
Our asst pastor this morning was talking about a young man he had met in Costa Rica and showed us a before and after picture of the young man. The before picture showed a young man who LOOKED evil. His eyes looked out at the camera with no compassion, with a cold, uncaring stare.
The next picture after his conversion shows a clean cut attractive young man whose eyes gaze out peacefully at the world.
Are there really demons on this earth..do these demons have the ability to resiode in a person and influence thier actions?

Charlie Manson is living proof, so is Ozzy Osbourne. They are very evil people.

I think that people can create their own demons. Some people are so consumed by a particular emotion directed at one focus that, in essence, their consciousness goes into recession. That emotion does all the thinking for them. The most common two are hate and fear. Though some might say love does the same thing given the almost euphoric state people get around a loved one.

Ozzy? Lol sorry but that is just funny. If you watch interviews with him he is actually a rather cheerfull and funny guy who just puts some effort into maintaining his popular image.

Let me see if I got this straight: You think that the man was demonically possessed because:

A: your pastor said so,

and B: You saw an evil-looking photograph of him?

If you truly believe this, then I hope with all my heart that you never have the deciding vote on a jury.

I'm sorry but I don't find much Humour in songs about Suicide and the terrible influence Ozzy Osbourne is on the young and impressionable people in the World.

hello

im new to this forum and i came because a christian logged onto another forum i am part of and suggested we all come here for a chat.

you see i am a witch and before i say anything else i mean noone here any disrespect or anything i have many family and friends who follow the bible, i will do my utmost not to offend anybody.

i believe not so much in demonic influences - but in negative forces

and while there are cruel people in the world i dont think that things like this could be deduced from a photograph

for all you know the guy may have just lost his best friend to a random shoooting - if so hes not going to be too impressed with the world

it is important to do your utmost in life not to judge people before you know them.

When i read this post, i had heard the word demon many times... but i realized i didnt really know what a demon is.

So, what is a demon? Is it an evil person's soul? Or a fallen angel, as in one of Satan's followers? Or something else?

Personally, i dont believe in the supernatural... so if demons fall into this category, i dont believe in them either. My belief is that the human mind is much, much more powerful than we understand. I think it can affect our physical environment without us knowing or controling it, and i think that is what is often mistaken for demons, or "possesion".

Lots of things aren't good for said young impressionable peoples of the world. Many people would count me as one of them, but I just don't see how that makes them a daemon-host.

Ozzy is the man! That guy cracks me up.

BTW I look like I'm possessed and lifeless when I only get 2 hours of sleep and no coffee.

 

[revolutio]

Just wait until I dig up the picture of Avril Lavigne while she was on tour and awake for 36 hours. It still sends chills down my spine.

Why not name the powers behind Ozzy the clean cut CEO's that just want money? The Media companies that get raunchier and raunchier, to keep the cash flowing? Walter Wink has written a triology of books dealing with the Principalities and Powers and I highly recommend them. William Stringfellow's books are also very good in this area.

I think the true demons behind Ozzy aren't supernatural, but rather material such as drugs.

Don’t forget President Bush.

Ever notice how in pictures of Bush his eyes follow you everyehere?

People like groovygirl don't give up the explanation on how one because a murderer. There are biochemical process in the brain that do screw up an individual and make them into a derange individual. There's nothing demon related about it.

I have heard of being 'emotionally-disjointed' it basically means that their emotions no longer respond at all to external stimuli and work on their own pattern.

So by the way the man appears in the photo, it can be determined if hes demon possessed?
Does anybody know the prior events before the photo was taken? So many things could have happened before the photo was taken to ASSUME he was demon possessed.
Maybe he just got arrested for a crime he didnt commit, maybe his wife just left him, maybe his only child just died, maybe he was up all night studying for a test. Maybe he just found out he had cancer. Maybe his favorite dog just got ran over. Maybe the flash bulb hurt his eyes. How many pictures have people taken of me or you that make us look drunk or stoned, does that mean we were?
Moses smell the roses.

If there is such a thing as demons, i would bet they hang out with the Boston Catholic Priests

The eyes are the window to the soul, you can read a lot about a person by looking in their eyes. I can always tell when someone is lying to me by looking in their eyes, it shows, you can't hide it. You may speak smooth words and be a practiced liar but it always shows.

Want to see about appearences of people possesed? Turn to Mark 5

I always thought the eyes were photon sensitive organs surrounded by a gelatin protien. silly me. I have to diagree with you. Useing myself as an example I have a condition similiar too ADD, My brain cannot single out info so I am constantly bombarded by stimuli in a chaotic fashion, like watching 6 TV channels at once. when I speak too people I have to focus on a single object so I can concentrate on what I am saying and listen to what they say. Usually this single object is something in the background that doesnt induce distraction. the story of my life is people ALWAYS misinterpret my body language into something negative. I never maintain eye contact. When I meet somebody for the first time the first thing I do is turn my eyes away when I shake their hand so I can concentrate on the interaction. People like you, so confident in their abilities to read peoples hidden agendas such as lieing, never fail to make false assumtions about people like me.

 

[SonWorshipper]

So quick to assume too? I didn't say anything about averting the eyes. You say "People like you", meaning you have judged me already, but I never did that to you.

Also I don't look to see someone's "hidden agenda", it's just something that I naturally see.

You may not be able to concentrate, or look at someone when you shake hands but I certainly wouldn't chalk that up to dishonesty.

Yes your right. I apologize
