Possession

[Glendyn]

Was Jesus possessed ?

[Leroy]

The Pharisees said Jersus was possessed because He laid bare a lot of their unscriptural misconduct: perjury, adultery, hypocrisy, etc.  No one is perfect.  When the Pharisees saw Jesus was getting too close to the truth, they panicked.  That resulted in an illegal trial, a false conviction, and trial under Roman law -- that acquitted Jesus. Fearing a revolt, Pontius Pilate gave the howling mob a choice between Jesus and a bandit chief whose men led several hundred Romans on a merry chase all the way to the Dead Sea.  What a choice between their Rabbi and the guy who had murdered thousands of Jews and Romans! It presses credibility but the mob chose Barabbas(whose name was slightly corrupted as Barbarian).  The thing is, this event was predicted in all the works of all the Old Testament prophets.  So we see, prophecy is true only when the predictions happen on schedule. They did.

How could Jesus possibly be possess when He is God manisfested in the flesh.  Remember He is the creator.

Dr. Kelly   Thank you for your answer.   I did not get the response I was hoping to get by the question.  You are right about your answer.   The point that I wanted to make however was this.   There seems to be so many out there that are willing to believe that they can be possessed by the devil.   A perfectly loving person turns into a lying, fanatic,  a howling monster of a person that's body becomes obviously possessed.  Many believe that in order for this possession to go away they try exorcism or other things.    It seems easy to believe in the possession by the devil.    What about the flip side of that same coin ?   God with much more power than the devil,  can he not posses a person who is wanting to be possessed by God  ?    Christ Jesus was born with the seed of God.  Yet  we cannot relate to Jesus being the thoughts of God,  possessed by God himself in human form.   For many it is easy to say a human can be possessed by the devil that takes over the whole body and mind.    At the same time many will never say that the mind of God possessed the body of Jesus.     God had total control of his human form of Jesus.   All this is,  is thought.
