"Modern cases of supposed demon possession are doubtless the results of psychosomatic problems, hysteria, self-induced hypnosis, delusion, and such like. They have natural, though perhaps not always well-understood, causes. When the Bible discusses demon possession, it is always from a specific, historical vantage point. As such, it does not endorse myth or superstition."
"With the termination of the supernatural era of the early church, demon possession, and the corresponding gift of expulsion, ceased. Satan’s supernatural power was bound (Matthew 12:29). Certainly, the devil exerts great influence today. However, just as God no longer works miraculously, but influences men through His Word and providence, so also, Satan wields his power indirectly and non-miraculously through various media."
I thought this was an interesting read by Wayne Jackson M.A.
So which is it, satan is bound and therefore cannot have his demonic energies released on people, or there are demons today??
What do you think, are there demons posessing people? Does this type of thing actually exist?
**Note to those that have "seen" demons... I am not saying they don't exist, or that you didn't see what you saw, simply wondering if there are alternative answers... IE; I often see shadow people, ghosts whatever you wanna call them, yet I am almost always seeking to find the reality in what I have seen... an explination for it :)**Note to self, still haven't found an explination! lol You can join Unsolved Mysteries and post your own mysteries or

9 doesn't mean Satan is bound, or powerless. Remember he will give over power to both the Antichrist and the False Prophet. They will be able to perform "miracles" like making fire drop from the skies. Do demons still posess people? It is a possibility. Nothing in the Bible says otherwise, certianly not Matthew 12
