Who were the seven sons of Sceva? Why did the seven sons of Sceva fail in their attempt to cast out a demon? |
Re: Who Were The Seven Sons Of Sceva? by AlfaSeltzer(m): 12:38am On Dec 08, 2015 |
They didn't fail. They were paid to act such so that Paul, the crook will gain more popularity. We see that everyday in church about paid people falling under anointing and giving testimonies. Fifty thousand pieces of silver no be beans. Paul knew exactly what he was doing. |

kindly ignore the poster above me. The seven sons of sceva failed because they didn't have the holy spirit in them, and also because they felt they could imitate the prophets of God. One who doesn't have the holy spirit in them and who God hasn't sent to carry out this purpose cannot cast out demons. Demons know when the fire of God is absent in people. That's why the demons resorted yo attacking them for disturbing the peace of the demons. 1 Like |

They were the sons of Sceva, a Jewish priest, who were also exorcists. |

Re: Who Were The Seven Sons Of Sceva? by OLAADEGBU(m): 5:25pm On Dec 10, 2015 |
Millerz: Did the exorcists have the Spirit of God and did they cast out demons? Is there any record of the OT prophets of God casting out demons? Millerz: They must have learnt a hard lesson to let sleeping dogs lie. |

OLAADEGBU: Suggested answer: The book of Acts records that, in Ephesus, God was performing "extraordinary miracles through Paul" (Acts 19:11). These apostolic miracles were to substantiate Paul's message. Some of these miracles involved casting out demons from those who were possessed (verse 12). Jesus had earlier given His apostles specific authority over demons (Mark 3:15). Paul, as an apostle, had received that authority as well (see 2 Corinthians 12:12). |

Scholar8200: But were they really casting out demons? |
Re: Who Were The Seven Sons Of Sceva? by Scholar8200(m): 7:58am On Jan 09, 2016 |
OLAADEGBU:Well, we know what happened to the sons of Sceva who tried to. Looking at the passage, it suggests that these exorcists had other means of suppressing/appeasing the unclean spirits but they thought the use of the Name of Jesus was just an advancement is exorcist technology which they could also adopt. |
Re: Who Were The Seven Sons Of Sceva? by OLAADEGBU(m): 4:10pm On Jan 20, 2016 |
Scholar8200: Which then implies that evil spirits were never cast out in the OT until Jesus and His disciples. |
Re: Who Were The Seven Sons Of Sceva? by Scholar8200(m): 6:07pm On Jan 20, 2016 |
OLAADEGBU:Yes. You remember the temporary deliverance of Saul after David played the harp. The fact that it was by recommendations of Saul's men shows that they had means for temporary relief. |
Re: Who Were The Seven Sons Of Sceva? by OLAADEGBU(m): 6:57pm On Mar 01, 2016 |
Scholar8200: It amazes me that until our Lord Jesus' incarnation there were no deliverances made. |
