Not quite sure where to put this post, So Im putting it here.
In the Bible (OT and NT) we see exorcisms being performed. Jesus performed a few Himself.
My question is this:
If the prophets and Jesus Himself felt a desire to understand Demonology and perform exorcisms (deliverance), right upto the 1800's they were being performed, and even today in Eastern nations are being performed; Why do Western Christians no longer see an importance in Demonology? Is this lack of knowledge of Demonology and an ever decreasing number of exorcists in the West connected somehow to the amount and level of evil in Western Christian nations? Or in this "post-modern" world, have Christians wrongfully concluded demons (and therefore evil) do not exist?
I ask seriously, please no sarcasm.
