Hello, first post here so go easy on me.

Anyway I was reading a bible verse (Mathew 4:1-11) and as I did the very fist line caught my attention, and I instantly related it back to a Michael jackson song - Billie Jean. (The one where he moonwalks) Here are the lyrics:

But Who Can Stand When She's In Demand
Her Schemes And Plans

Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted[a] by the devil. 2 After fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. 3 The tempter came to him and...

In order to diagnose demon possession in a person it requires examination by a physician, a psychiatrist, and an exorcist. It would be interesting to see the results of such an examination of Michael Jackson. He shows all the symptoms.

Note in Matthew when Satan tempted the Lord, he quoted scripture as his argument.
