Can Objects be possessed?

Would you allow things such as Oujia boards, magic 8 balls, tarot cards, etc in your home? Would you want items that had been used in satanic rituals around? Books on witchcraft? I mean, after all, they're just books....

Why or why not?

I wouldn't have them in my house but sitting on a shelf unused they're harmless in my opinion.

The danger is what they represent and teach. Having a Bible doesn't automatically bring God into one's life.

But it does make you have to take a second look.

Kind of like you can say I don't believe speaking in tongues is for today, but the person that has spoken in tongues will tell you differently from their own experience.

Ha Ha Ha! I have heard this stuff before. :sshhh

I would love to have an excuse everytime I said something wrong to my wife. "Oh, honey look. Someone left and some "metal" music under the seat. See it wasn't me it was the devil that made me say that. Oh! There it is, it looks like it is having an effect on you as well."

Shoot! I would keep a few CDs around just in case.

We're not told of why or how he came to Jesus. He could have just been running by.

I understand but I also know how unreliable an experience is. (Remember, I, too, use to claim that experience)
