He even       comes as the angel of light to deceive the elect of God. Jesus case out the       demons of the possessed. Possessed? Yes, they were spiritually possessed.       Those who claim they are spiritual are witches, warlocks, shamans, fortune       tellers, sorcerers, etc. They are all committed to the power of the enemy of       man and God, that being Satan. Some realizing that claim to be white witches,       splorf, they are just as evil as the rest, and perhaps even more so as they,       like the "angel of light” are deceitful to the unsuspecting.              Spiritual wickedness was also noticed in the OT, and there they were to be       put to death.              This type of spiritual wickedness is prevalent in the eastern religions,       where their gods abound, and they even openly worship their devils. Proudly.       They also demand their followers to do deeds to honor them and their gods.              Satan is also inhabiting the Churches of today, the liberal churches and sows       dissension amongst its members, sowing seeds of doubt, and stirring up hatred       against those who follow God and do the Works of God.              This is not meant to condemn all churches, nor all Christians. For by their       godly works you shall know them.       >       >       > Likewise, in other religions many have been ripped off from the Gift of the       > Holy Spirit/God.
