A Sane Approach to Demon Possession, Exorcism, etc


and Clicked on the wrong thing on a menu and totally messed things up.  I was watching this Lutheran theologian talking about demon possession and hoped I'd caught the URL but as usual it looks like I didn't or didn't get all of it, I can't see any of it here so have no idea.  

I wants to find a sane Protestant point of view about demon activity ahnd possession and I ran across him, A Dr. Gordon Cooper on a podcast titled Just And Sinner, the and being the ampersand which I can't find at the moment on mykeyboard.  It's been hard to track through his series for some reason, no doubt because I can't see to click on the right things, and when this oneof his series on demons came up I was very happy because I'd seen the previous one.  It just appeared out thof the ether as I was poking around You Tube and now I can't get it back having just lost it with that fateful click on that menu.  He's pretty good on the subject.  I didn't want any more Catholics and I don't want to hear from the Chraismatics on the subject.  Had enough of all that.  The problem is that the saner Protestants pretty much ignore the topic so I was very happy to find this guyu who is willing ort talk about it and takes it seriously while clearly rejecting the Catholics and Charismatics.

He is very aware that we are in a time when demonic activity is going to increase as the Church has lost its power in the culture and morality of a saner sort is alos out the window therse days, and of course he is quite right.  He thinks we should be prepared to encounter much more activity from the demonic realms.  I guess the devil doesn't like my knowing anything about him so he's making my usual difficulties even more difficult to keep me from finding him.

QWell, it doesn't work, for me anyway.  But I did find out this time that the title of this video, perhaps of the whole series is A Lutheran Approach to Exorcism.
