Demonic Possession is not Biblical! Why we should stop saying possessed/oppressed

1 year ago

The word Possessed is not a biblical term and a poor English translation of the word demonized. This has caused much confusion amongst believers. Listen to how Derek Prince who was a greek scholar explains it.

"There is another area of confusion that has not been cleared up in some of the modern translations. The Greek noun daimon gives rise to a verb daimonizo, which occurs about twelve times in the New Testament. The obvious English equivalent of this verb is demonize, which the Collins English Dictionary defines as “to subject to demonic influence.” In the New Testament this verb occurs only in the passive form: “to be demonized.” In the original KJV, it is translated regularly as “to be possessed of [or with] a devil or devils.” Most modern versions have correctly changed devil to demon, but incorrectly retain the form to be possessed. The problem with this form is that, to English ears, the word possess immediately suggests ownership. To be “possessed”—by a devil or demon—implies that a person is “owned” by a devil or demon. But there is no basis for this in the Greek word daimonizo, which conveys no suggestion of ownership, but means merely “to subject to demonic influence.” Obviously the form of words we use is of vital importance. It is one thing to say to a person, “You are subject to demonic influence.” It is quite another to say, “You are possessed by a demon,” or, worse still, to say, “You are possessed by the devil.” Let me say emphatically that there is nothing in the verb daimonizo to imply possession. Personally I believe that every born-again Christian sincerely seeking to live for Christ belongs to Christ and is owned by Him. It is monstrous to suggest that such a person belongs to the devil or is owned by the devil."
