| Sep 6, 2015 at 1:18 | comment | added | Rex Kerr | @RedRackham - Since my second category seems to be the modern perspective of at least a decent selection of Orthodox churches, I've updated the links to indicate as much. | |
| Sep 6, 2015 at 1:17 | comment | added | Rex Kerr | @Nathaniel - I have cleaned up the Orthodox section with references to modern Orthodox churches talking about demonic possession in a way consistent with my characterization of the viewpoint. | |

| Sep 4, 2015 at 1:15 | comment | added | Nathaniel is protesting | @RexKerr I can understand that, so I'll revert back my edit. However, the only two things you have there are a couple Bible verses and a very sketchy looking website, that may or may not be considered part of "orthodoxy". I'd suggest "Perspective of orthodoxy" so that it's clear you mean "orthodoxy" and not "Eastern Orthodox," but even then, I'd recommend strengthening your case to make it actually say that this is what orthodoxy believes. | |
| Sep 4, 2015 at 1:03 | comment | added | Rex Kerr | @Nathaniel - Do you mean "Biblical Literalist"? I do not think that edit is accurate otherwise, as it makes it sound like other perspectives are non-Biblical. | |
| Sep 4, 2015 at 1:02 | comment | added | Rex Kerr | @RedRackham - Well, no one group can lay complete claim to the title "Orthodox"; it really does mean the historical views: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthodox_Christianity So no modern individual can, without further qualifications, precisely qualify as orthodox because they most likely have additional modern beliefs (e.g. Eastern Orthodox). | |

I think this means "orthodox" not in the sense of eastern orthodoxy, but the Bible

| Sep 4, 2015 at 0:15 | comment | added | Red Rackham | @RexKerr Is that what people mean when they say orthodox on a CHRISTIANITY site? :| | |
| Aug 30, 2015 at 17:27 | comment | added | Rex Kerr | @RedRackham - I used Yulish as one example out of many possibilities. I brought up Catholicism because they recognize at least some cases of demonic possession, and in the link I posted explain how they think they know they're correct. Also, I mean "orthodox" in the general sense of it being the historical interpretation; I didn't have any particular modern group labeled "orthodox" in mind (e.g. Greek, Russian, etc.)". | |
| Aug 28, 2015 at 5:35 | comment | added | Red Rackham | @RexKerr I think I'm lost. Why did you bring up Catholicism? Thanks for the info though (are you a mind reader?), you supported view 2 with Stephen Yulish. I'm just trying to clarify if he is then Orthodox since view 2 is orthodox view | |
| Aug 23, 2015 at 0:38 | comment | added | Rex Kerr | @RedRackham - My "sources" for these perspectives are conversations with people who believed each, plus various things I read over the years. The Catholic Church takes a "diversification perspective" (see e.g. knowledgenuts.com/2014/01/31/…) regarding modern cases; I'm not sure how Catholics interpret Matthew 8:28-9, but a literal reading seems likely to me. How do you know which is correct? Depends on your epistemology. E.g. if validation and evidence is primary, you'll take the medical perspective. | |
| Aug 20, 2015 at 11:11 | comment | added | Red Rackham | How do you know that each perspective is correct? Where are your sources? I am specifically interested in view 2. Is Stephen Yulish orthodox? | |
| Dec 5, 2013 at 22:36 | comment | added | Rex Kerr | @GregMcNulty - Well, that was the first link I found. Maybe there are others that proponents of that viewpoint would like better. | |
| Dec 4, 2013 at 20:40 | comment | added | Greg McNulty | @rex-kerr: re: your link, as soon as I see UFO's along with some other info, well let's just say that does not help the case. | |
