this is something that puzzles me, and maybe it is because i am not a believer in the god of abraham. but how anyone could think they they could influence an entity from another realm by simple speaking words is beyond me.
i find this to be an example of how huge the human ego can be.
no disrespect, not trolling. i just dont get it.
Quoting: Oyster It's a valid question, and you are right, humans can't without invoke the name of Jesus. Only the name of Jesus is strong enough to cast out demons.
Paul did it in Acts: "And this did she many days. But Paul, being grieved, turned and said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out the same hour."
Also:
Mark 9:38-39, "And John answered him, saying, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, and he followeth not us: and we forbade him, because he followeth not us. But Jesus said, Forbid him not: for there is no man which shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of me."
Mark 16:17, "And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues."
