No Clear Biblical Text on Possession

- This topic needs to be understood by stepping back from scripture to develop a paradigm that best fits the overall biblical narrative.
Demonization vs Possession Terminology
- Michael Miller prefers the term "demonized" over "possessed" to avoid Hollywood connotations.
- Demonization can be seen on a scale from slight influence to full control by evil spirits.
Extreme Demonization and Belief
