He is correct on one thing.

All those who have been sealed by the belief in Jesus Christ are protected from demon possession and curses.

Acceptance of Jesus Christ as the savior of your soul is the only way to have your entire being sealed and occupied by the Holy Ghost.

Once you have been sealed with the Spirit, no demonic force can enter your body. EVER.

All that other stuff about holy water and wearing crosses, does nothing but maybe make you feel better about yourself. They are amulets, and they cannot hold any power in any way.
To think they can, is paganism, and a Christian should not believe wearing them does anything magical. They are just pieces of wood, stone, glass, or rock. Nothing more, nothing less.

To people who deny God. People can claim to see ghosts. But if one ghost exists, then ghosts are real. Im reading a book about saint paisios. The book is full of mircales. If just one of the miracles are real, then miracles exist. This man was holy, and it is no wonder that the will of God worked through him.

@patient07841984 Your logic is backwards. You are the one making an extraordinary claim of a supernatural god. It's not the duty of the unbeliever to disprove your fantastical claim; rather, it's your duty to prove the claim to be valid. And there is no way to prove anything you claim; hence the need for faith. From a logical or rational point of view, your claims are unverifiable and contradictory and require emotional manipulation in order to be effective. Religion is a psychological virus that infects a person, takes over their mind, and then compels them to infect others. Those infected lose their ability to reason and replace logical thinking with magical thinking.
