In the gospel spiritual possession was an issue that caused a lot of things we call disorders and mental illnesses
Just an example of an evil spirit causing someone to. Ot be able to speak or hear and along with many other issues
“And one of the multitude answered and said, Master, I have brought unto thee my son, which hath a dumb spirit; and wheresoever he taketh him, he teareth him: and he foameth, and gnasheth with his teeth, and pineth away: and I spake to thy disciples that they should cast him out; and they could not. And they brought him unto him: and when he saw him, straightway the spirit tare him; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed foaming. And he asked his father, How long is it ago since this came unto him? And he said, Of a child. And ofttimes it hath cast him into the fire, and into the waters, to destroy him: but if thou canst do any thing, have compassion on us, and help us. Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth. And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief. When Jesus saw that the people came running together, he rebuked the foul spirit, saying unto him, Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I charge thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him. And the spirit cried, and rent him sore, and came out of him: and he was as one dead; insomuch that many said, He is dead. But Jesus took him by the hand, and lifted him up; and he arose.”
Mark 9:17-18, 20-27 KJV
Jesus asked how long since it came upon him ?
I think spiritual issues are prevalent but no one believes it anymore so we take pills to mask these deep spiritual issues and they never get healed just hidden
In the gospel spiritual possession is a common thing that caused an array of physical and mental problems but they n modernity we think it’s silly to consider spiritual causes of things
my point is there is circumstance and then there is free Will after
