   Will the following scripture work for you?   
      
   [quoting] "The Spirit clearly says that in later times   
   some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits   
   and things taught by demons." [end quote] 1 Timothy 4:1   
      
   Deceiving spirits and things taught by demons. We've   
   been seeing deception posted on this group for years,   
   including right up to this very day. You even admit   
   that you love to twist what the Bible says. You said   
   that just the other day, didn't you?

   It's unfortunate that you've never experienced the   
   power of Jesus, and His love for us.

   Right from the start, you're wrong due to the fact   
   that demons are not "a person". The are spiritual   
   beings.

   > that won't go after asking them to leave.   
      
   If you mean a demon has possessed you and won't   
   leave, that's because you don't have the power   
   of Jesus to protect you.

   You have no idea what you're talking about.
