Read the New Testament. Our Lord and the apostles were frequently called upon to expel demons. Yes, it is still possible to be possessed by demons today. However, the Church thoroughly investigates all cases to rule out the possibility of a mental disorder. People open themselves to possession when they dabble in the occult - witchcraft, ouija boards, etc. If you want to learn more about exorcisms being done today, read Father Gabriele Amorth's books on the subject. He was the official exorcist for the Diocese of Rome for many years. I have provided a link below to more information on Father Amorth that also lists his publications. Both of his books make fascinating reading.

Another good book that is based on modern exorcisms is The Rite by journalist Matt Baglio who uses the astonishing story of one American priest's training as an exorcist to reveal that the phenomena of possession, demons, the Devil, and exorcism are not merely a remnant of the archaic past, but remain a fearsome power in many people's lives even today.

How do you get possessed?

One answer from our community:Demon possession is a very real thing: if a person doesn't believe in demons and therefore demon-possession in the first place then they are a prime candidate for it. You cannot be initially possessed if you don't allow it. You get possessed by inviting demons into your mind in the first place, through things such as ouija boards and (believe it or not) halloween,Matthew 1245 Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter and dwell there; and the last state of that man is worse than the first. So shall it also be with this wicked generation."Another answer:You probably do not want to be possessed, but may want to know what could cause you to be possessed so that you can avoid it. Or maybe you are a little fascinated by the unknown.To get possessed by a demon, or at least to believe that you are possessed by a demon, you must first be a Christian or a Muslim. There is no evidence of an atheist or, for example, a Hindu ever becoming possessed. There are no clear rules for getting possessed, just as there are no clear rules for exorcism, as each denomination that believes in demon possession has its own ideas.What is certain is that spooky forms of entertainment are just that - entertainment. For example, no one has ever become possessed because of Halloween. In fact there has probably never been a genuine case of possession at all.

When is the end of the world.?

I actually think that we all dont know when the end of the world will happen not unless you/somebody is psychic. The end of the world could happen any time now. Some people believe that if you have faith you will die automatically but if you dont at first there will be demons scattering around earth and waiting for those who actually gotten faith later on after the demons come, and those who gotten faith late the demons kill that person and there they are.. in heaven. Thats what some people believe though.. there can be so many more explanations and so many ways for the world to end. But I guess we will never know.

Can bipolar 2 turn into bipolar 1?

Yes. If left untreated, bipolar 2 can easily turn into bipolar 1 or possibly even rapid cycling bipolar disorder. (Second User) Yes, even with treatment (although it is much less likely in such a case) bipolar two disorder can become bipolar one disorder. This would happen when the hypomanic episodes of Bipolar 2 become more severe and harmful manic episodes. This change has been known to most often happen after somebody has had the disorder for some time. To clarify the first answer: Rapid cycling can occur in any type of bipolar disorder. It is not really its own type of bipolar disorder, rather, it is a condition that can occur with a bipolar disorder. It refers to a person who experiences four or more bipolar mood swings in a year. This can also develop over time or be a part of the disorder from the start.
