Exactly what it says on the (dramatic) title.
We always hear about Biblically accurate angels: the burning wheels with tons of eyes, the strange looking creatures that sound like they come from the anime “Evangelion”, the cherubim with 4 faces, but I had a thought while watching The Exorcist: Believer (it was…not good for anyone wondering. At all. The disrespect Regan’s mom had towards Merrin and Karras after they died saving her daughter was baffling to listen to, especially…but i digress) a couple of days ago, specifically, if that’s how the demonically possessed are said to more or less act in the Judeo-Christian scriptures, or if they’re they completely different to what we see in movies and games. I’m guessing it’s more than likely the second one, right, but I’m curious about the details like the signs someone’s possessed, the demon’s endgoal, and what they look like, basically everything you can gimme to sate this curiosity or to send me on a rabbit hole, if you’d be so kind?
I’ve only gotten to Leviticus in my Bible reading. God that chapter is a slog.
Anyway, if you need to know which part of the goat may be a waved offering and which may be a burnt offering and which may be a meat offering, and which order in which to pile the guts and the cauls and the livers and hearts and bones thereof and all the fat within and all the viscera and connective tissue so that the priest may toss three splashes of blood on the left side and three splashes of blood to the right side and so on and so forth, I might be able to help.
I guess one positive thing about slogging through Leviticus is I now realize how many ways there are to sacrifice a goat.
Not what I was looking for…but TIL lol
Never know when proper goat sacrificing might be needed
Seriously if you want to see the part of the bible that reads like an animal sacrifice operations manual, check out Leviticus
