The perfect wisdom of God has intentionally only given general information to God's people to warn them from having anything to do with the occult. Sadly, many Christians, in effect, reject that wisdom by holding that using certain things from occultists is perfectly acceptable for believers...

I agree that being unsaved, they have no protection. It's also true that when the unsaved chose to engage in occult activities, they make it easier for them to be possessed.

I agree completely, but that is not the subject of the thread

I believe that is true, but many will raise objections to such a view because of the implications it has for their beliefs about certain cultural practices and products of certain peoples.

Here's another dimension of what I am probing. On the one hand, we are given several details about king Manasseh's engaging in idolatry and the occult, but we are never told that he became possessed at any point in his life. On the other hand, however, Scripture speaks of numerous specific...

I agree wholly that a true Christian can never be possessed by a demon, but that's not really what this thread was ever intended to discuss. Still, I appreciate your sharing this info but hope that it does not lead to further discussion of whether Christians can or cannot be possessed.

I take it that you mean that giving that specific information to us in Scripture would not have been edifying. If so, why do you think that the Spirit has included many specific accounts of people's engaging in highly unedifying conduct of many other kinds but none about what happened so that...

I have no doubt that there are many today who have apostatized who once professed to be Christians.

True, but what do you make of the Spirit's not giving us even one specific record of what a specific unbeliever or more than one specific unbeliever did that resulted in their being possessed?

When the Spirit inspired 1 Timothy, there were no Catholics, Mormons, etc. My comments are based not with specific modern groups of "Christians" in mind but on the text's saying that some depart from the faith, which shows that they once professed to be Christians but then apostatized.

Yes. Is there some significance to this comment that pertains to my post and the subject of this thread?

1 Timothy 4:1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; 2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; 3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain...

Mark 9:25 When Jesus saw that the people came running together, he rebuked the foul spirit, saying unto him, Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I charge thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him. Jesus permanently delivered this boy from the demon's ever being able to enter him again. Having...

This is an expected response from someone who cannot answer factual information with actual in-depth responses, so he has to resort to ad hominem instead. The fact stands that your assertions about the Greek verb that has been rendered as "demon possessed" etc. are not a sound understanding of...

King Manasseh was a horrifically wicked king over God’s people: 2 Kings 21:5 And he built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the LORD. 6 And he made his son pass through the fire, and observed times, and used enchantments, and dealt with familiar spirits and...
