Do you believe epilepsy is caused be demonic spirits?

[Anonymous]

My level it too low to post a link but I read online the Bible says something like epilepsy is caused by demonic spirits or demonic possession

[TheRealPepperPotts]

No. That was simply the understanding at the time, and the only explanation they could come up with. I am a Christian, but I'm also familiar with a number of medical conditions. Epilepsy is a neurological disorder and has a variety of potential causes. It has nothing to do with sin or demons, just like my autoimmune disease has nothing to do with sin or demons. Some may disagree, but that's my perspective on that. :D

The people who wrote the Bible tried to explain things they did not understand. Now we have science. Anybody who believes diseases are caused by demonic spirits are nut jobs.

[LiamJHayden]

No. That is poor theology, using a term that means "convulsion" and because some of the actions seem similar to epilepsy, bad theologians make the jump, ignoring the teaching in John 9.

no. because:

• Demons aren't a thing.
• spirits aren't a thing.
• we already know what causes epilepsy and it's none of the above.

Demonic spirits can stir up trouble all and through your life so just remember (Eph 6:11-13) and don’t forget you read your daily word. And you’ll be fine. Demonic spirits of any kind will be the wiser to mess with you.

It is caused by evil humours which can be relieved by trephining.

[NamerOfStars]

No. I mean, what would a demon get out of inducing seizures?

[Knightwatch27]

Yes and no. It can be, and it can also be medical. We should neither think everything is spiritual nor should we never believe it is. But you're just asking for mockery to ask this here.

Most diseases are, what aren't I think would be birth defects

Don't believe everything you read. It's a neurological disorder bad chemistry and bad wiring in the brain has nothing to do with spirits or demons or whatever bullshit the Bible (aka the fake book of crap) says

[Staximus]

That would be an explanation from the 1400's or something

[DryGermanGuy]

That sounds probable… in the year 1758.

[exitseven]

No but that was what people once thought

[PeterLegg91]

That's going into the realms of fantasy
