EXORCISM AS PUBLIC SPECTACLE
We are told that evil men are not really their own masters.
Evil men have behind them stronger, otherworldly entities.
“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. “
–Ephesians 6:12
Because stronger, otherworldly entities have to be dealt with by biblical means, the world conspires to mislead men so that such means will seldom be employed. Even rarer will the masses learn of the success IF EVER biblical methods would be used.
Therefore, instead of assisting men by giving them the truth, the world offers them ineffective tools–such as the ritual theater of the absurd that is Catholic exorcism.
Catholic exorcists promote the ungodly ideas that Bibles, “holy water” and magic incantations by a priest have some sort of power over the demonic. Exorcisms by the Vatican are a little more than voodoo rituals by guys in black frocks.
Occult “exorcists“–as wells as witches, sorcerers and all who resort to illegitimate supernatural power in order to “exorcise” demons–resort to a number of unbiblical, ineffective methods and rituals: burning candles, reciting incantations and “blessings,” occult rituals, various readings and consulting other spirits.
These will only land those looking for relief deeper into the problem.

IF one doesn’t know the problem, then one can’t find the real solution.
IF one doesn’t believe the solution, then one will not utilize that solution to solve the problem.
THEREFORE, the problem will likely persist and grow worse.
Which is the primary reason the world relentlessly attacks the only source of relief: the Bible.
This is also WHY men continue to bang their heads in frustration EVEN THOUGH they have available a complete knowledge of the remedies for the world’s ills.
Meanwhile, exorcism has become a sort of end times spectator sport for those curious enough to watch, but not free enough to know or demand the truth.
HAS the reader attempted to fix a problem using the world’s ineffective means?
HOW LONG will the reader continue pursuing failure when relief is available?
THERE is still yet a little time to turn to the truth and change direction (repent).

THE GOSPEL
“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. ”
–1 Corinthians 15:1-8
“But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:”
—2 Corinthians 4:3
