I’m a retired lawyer, and there is no way to prove in a court that demons exist, without putting a possessed person into evidence and a seasoned exorcist priest and his assistants into evidence, and they do an exorcism on the possessed with judge and jury and appellate courts watching, more wisely and safely via zoom, as the priest and his assistants fence with the demon, knowing they are the demon’s true prey, and knowing if they mess up, the demon will possess them, too.
I have never done such an exorcism, and don’t know how to do such an exorcism, but I am familiar with it. If you actually are interested, which I sense maybe you ar not, but in case I’m mistaken, find a copy of the Jesuit Priest Malachi Martin’s chilling book, HOSTAGE TO THE DEVIL and read it. It’s still in print.
After the Preface is a report of a Catholic priest who attempted an exorcism without any assistants, and someone knocked on the door to the room where the priest was with the possessed, and the priest was distracted and the demon possessed the priest. Toward the end of the book, the reader finds the priest has a friend who knows what has happened, and they talk about it sometimes, as the possessed priest, knowing life is lost, fights to regain his soul, which he finally does, and then he dies.
In the middle of the book are 5 exorcisms of lay people, which should chill any person to the bone, as well.
I once had a Jewish friend, who was very New Age and Eastern spiritual tradition, who became incense when I told him Evil existed. So, I suggest he read Father Martins bool, He became even more incensed. He bought the book nonetheless, and then he went off on me again and blame me for him buying the book The next day, he told me his favorite Jewish grandmother came to him in a dream, smiling, hold in her hands the book he had bought, offering to him. He said he would read it.
A few days later, he called me and said he had a problem, didn’t he? I said, yes, and I had seen in he profile a demon and had spooked me. He asked why I had not told him? I said, because he would go off on me if I told him. Then, he started going through many visionary experiences of a black cape that terrified him coming toward him, and I sat with him as he said he was being told by Jesus and Archangel Michael what was going.
Remember, he was Jewish.
He finally got through it, but it was not over, because the kind of exorcism done by Father Martin was not available to my friend. Nor to me. We were required to face out own demonic twin, which very person has, and do what was given to us to do, as best we could, steered, corrected, even rebuked by those two mention in the Bible, and in that way, we incrementally were being delivered form Evil.
But my friend was not prepared or was unwilling to go through the rest of what was inside him that needed to be dealt with, and we parted ways. That came about after the two mentioned in the Bible paired him with a gentile woman of New Age persuasion, and she was reacting a lot to what the two were doing to her, and my friend was at his wits end, and I asked him if he wanted me to try to learn what was going on in her, and said, yes, and i got quite and closed my eyes, and herd, “She was Adolph Hitler in a past life,” and I told him, and he went off on me, and that was the end of our friendship.
I was not allowed to drop out, and it was no fun at all.
