UK Church Wants To Cure With Exorcise

Post by Irrev-Black »

Not a spelling error.
At a healing service secretly recorded by the BBC where "strong prayers" were conducted, Bishop James Marques - the leader of the UCKG in the UK - tells the congregation some sickness is a spiritual problem and mental health problems are linked to evil spirits.

He told an undercover reporter: "Depression is a spiritual problem. Behind depression there is an evil spirit."

He also said, "We know that epilepsy is a medical condition but in the Bible the Lord Jesus casts out an evil spirit that was causing epilepsy. So we can understand that epilepsy in reality is a spiritual problem that has a physical, visible manifestation."

To say nothing of the child that died because they wanted to pray to cast out demons instead of seek proper medical help! Reminds me of a case in Australia, how can people still be this ignorant with all these examples around?
