Iron and Myth 32: Azazel, Lilith, and Other Demons in the Bible 1:31:27

2d ago1:31:27

1:31:27

ONE OF THE MYSTERIES of the Bible is why there are no accounts of priests or prophets casting out demons. Why is that? This is odd because the pagan neighbors of the Israelites knew about demons and had an entire library of rituals and spells for casting them out. And in the early 1st century, Jesus and the apostles had their hands full casting dem…

Less than eight months ago, a murderous death cult swarmed out of Gaza, murdering more than 1,200 and abducting another 200.
