Re: Bob Larson, "The Real Exorcist"
My opinion? This story is a pretty nifty way to avoid personal responsibility for the couple involved.
I really think the whole thing is likely psychological manipulation.

Re: Bob Larson, "The Real Exorcist"
I watched the video and frankly, the whole thing just ticks me off. What that guy, Eric, needs is good old fashioned repentance. Forget all the sensationalism. If you ask me, Bob Larson has just got a good way to make money.

Thank you! That's what I see, but didn't know quite how to describe it...avoidance of personal responsibility!! That is exactly what is happening! Repentance is much less sensational and much more effective!

Re: Bob Larson, "The Real Exorcist"
Bob Larson has been around for a long time, IMO he comes across as a sensationalist with very little humility.
I also have very little respect for him when he calls people "stupid" & tells them to "shut up"
just because they have a differing viewpoint.
I don't give him the time of day.

Re: Bob Larson, "The Real Exorcist"
A guy doesn't have to be on the money to actually cast out devils, you know.
Matthew 7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

Re: Bob Larson, "The Real Exorcist"
I think Sis Nahkoe takes the prize on this one. "The devil made me do it" is a sure way of shirking responsibility for ones own actions.
My opinion? Bob Larson is making a play to gain Todd Bentley's disallusioned following. The two are "birds of a feather".

We know. That's the sad part.

Re: Bob Larson, "The Real Exorcist"
Mark 9:38 And John answered him, saying, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, and he followeth not us: and we forbad him, because he followeth not us.
39But Jesus said, Forbid him not: for there is no man which shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of me.
Luke 9:49 And John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name; and we forbad him, because he followeth not with us.
50And Jesus said unto him, Forbid him not: for he that is not against us is for us.
I believe Larson is legit as he is casting out devils in Jesus' Name. His doctrine is wrong, and his salvation is between him and God, but he really is casting out devils. I've cast devils out of two men and witnessed it done to my brother when I was a child, and the people Larson deals with are exhibiting the telltale signs of possession. But like Jesus said, casting out devils in His Name doesn't guarantee salvation. I will pray for God to lead Bob Larson, and no, I don't think Bob is of Todd Bentley's ilk since I am convinced that Bentley is possessed by devils himself. Satan can't cast out Satan.

Re: Bob Larson, "The Real Exorcist"
Is this the same Bob Larson who used to be on the radio in the early 80's, late 70's? If so, he used to talk all the time about things like Free Masons being sinful. He also wrote a book about churches and organizations that he considered to be - oh shoot, what's the word? It means way off base, anti-Christian???? Rats! Wish I could think of the word. Anyhow, he listed a whole bunch of churches that he said fit this catagory, including Mormons, Jehovah Witnesses and THE UNITED PENTECOSTAL CHURCH.
I had listened to him occasionally up to that point. But once I read that book, I've never listened to him since then.

Re: Bob Larson, "The Real Exorcist"
Bob is a fake and a fraud. I remember him back from the days he had a Radio show and spent 75% of the time talking about how the station was going off the air unless you the hearers came through with some funds...day after day after day it was the same thing
