Descriere

Description"There are two equal and opposite errors into which our race can fall about the devils " warned the widely respected C. L Lewis. "One is to disbelieve in their existence "The other is to believe and to feel an excessive and unhealthy interest in them " Father Juan Cortes was a psychology professor at Georgetown University This was where The Exorcist was filmed He said that all cases of possession he's studied can readily be explained away in modern scientific terms Today's science can also explain, according to Cortes, the old Biblical accounts of "casting out devils " Reverend Donald Basham, an ordained Disciples of Christ minister and others vigorously disagree Basham claims a full one-fourth of Jesus Christ's ministry was solely devoted to casting devils out of possessed people This man is a long-time counselor.
