"two demoniacs …”Matthew 8, 28
In the XI century can we talk of evil spirit, the devil !?
It cannot be a partially true , partially false Christian teaching ! Either as a true teaching I accept the gospel , or like a fairy tale I refuse it !Christ for me is the Son of God I regard His teaching as a revelation and profess it as true! I believe in the community of love of the Holy Trinity, I believe that the One who Created my tongue, gave me my hear is capable to hear my plea and capable to speak to me! I believe that Jesus Christ did speak to us , and His teaching are authentic in the gospels! Jesus often speaks about the devil in His speeches , that is why I believe that the fallen angel exists, and the purely spiritual being trying to tempt us to evil about whom the gospel speaks like this: "8 Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. 9 Resist him, standing firm in the faith..” 1 Peter 5,8-9
With love ,

When Jesus came to the other side, to the country of the Gadarenes, two demoniacs coming out of the tombs met him. They were so fierce that no one could pass that way. Suddenly they shouted, 'What have you to do with us, Son of God? Have you come here to torment us before the time?' Now a large herd of swine was feeding at some distance from them. The demons begged him, 'If you cast us out, send us into the herd of swine.' And he said to them, 'Go!' So they came out and entered the swine; and suddenly, the whole herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and perished in the water. The swineherds ran off, and on going into the town, they told the whole story about what had happened to the demoniacs. Then the whole town came out to meet Jesus; and when they saw him, they begged him to leave their neighbourhood.
Matthew 8:28-34
