It is entirely possible that without the DSM-IVtr people were unable to accurately diagnose what was occurring. Perhaps the terminology was just different, and if our current terminology were used by the people of Biblical time it would have said and the guy with dissociative identity disorder, who had within him the mental illness of a bunch of personalities, was cured as Christ cast out the multiple fragments. Or the paranoid schizophrenic was relieved of the chemical imbalances (or whatever it is that they someday find out causes it) that had afflicted him, and the voices were cast out .
😉 Possession is so fun
There's no such thing as demonic possession. Back in the Retard Ages ppl would think that a man was possessed just because if he started jittering around when he saw a bright light. It's called epilepsy. So assuming that Jesus's mystical Jesuspowers were real and not made-up, then I guess he could have been curing insanity.
