[chette777]

Tim, I am not saying that was true and my statement was circled with the words "supposedly" . Nor did I say that it was scriptual. But that is what the Jews and others of that area then and even today believed according to some sources.

I am not dabbeling in fantasy as far as it was related to me it was beleived by others to be true. and I don't beleive a saved person can be possessed by a devil. but there are many ways an unsaved person can be possessed.

we helped a lady over come a devil that had been in her since she was three. how it got into her was from a witchdoctor doing a fertility rite that her parents allowed even though the girl had no free will in it, she was possessed by a devil at that time.

The Bible does not discribe how a person becomes demon possessed. But there were many in the NT who were demon possessed. As to how a person becomes demon possessed is purley outside the scriptures. How did the one with the legion get possessed. The Bible tells us not. but there are many ways for it to happen.

Bible student,

Deep space might be the place they went??
