RE: [TruthTalk] Adam - sin - and the rest of us

It would be impossible for anyone with Alzheimer’s or severe dementia to do anything like acknowledge responsibility or repent.  One of our pastors is a youngish (mid 40’s?) man who has Parkinson’s.  It doesn’t affect one mentally.  izzy   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Judy Taylor Sent: Monday, August 22, 2005 7:59 AM To: truthtalk@mail.innglory.org Subject: [TruthTalk] Adam - sin - and the rest of us   At Pleasant Valley they are successful when they find the spiritual root or the reason for the curse to be there - followed by the victim acknowleding, taking responsibility, and repenting before the Lord.  Deliverance and freedom are then easy and for something like Alzheimers they would pray for a creative miracle to restore brain tissue.  I don't know that they pray for these as yet though because when I was there they were still doing research on Parkinson's, Alzheimers etc.  A cousin of my husband just died from a stem cell disorder which is a lot like these two and is called Supra Nuclear Palsy - have you heard of it Izzy?   From: "David Miller" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Izzy wrote: > Would you expect such success in casting out > demons in cases of Alzheimer's, where there is > atrophied brain tissue?   I've never thought of Alzheimer's being caused by evil spirits.  In Alzheimer's there is definite organic destruction of brain tissue.  I suppose it could be caused by an evil spirit.  I've just never thought of it that way.  I've looked at it as an aging process gone awry, and would categorize it more with stroke victims than bipolar / schizophrenia. Obviously, my faith might tend to fall short in this scenario due to my lack of knowledge.  I would approach this more as a healing situation than a need for deliverance, but I'm teachable if this is not the case.   Peace be with you.
