Casting out foul spirits to Cure Disease & Balance Federal Budget

Foul spirits and devils could be a cause of Congressional budgeting incompetence-maybe some foul spirits and devils in high places just don't want to eliminate the federal debt, reduce unemployment and grow a green economy. There are several instances in the Bible wherein a devil or foul spirit is credited with being the cause of a human disease.

I wanted to write a small counterfactual reply to some of the know-it-all mockers of demonic etiology of human caused illnesses who view that as having a zero probability of being a valid explanation.

We might use the Matrix criterion as an example of disease causality from unnatural sources. In the program simulation of a world reality that was the Matrix, everything existing was caused by a computer program. It would be reasonable to say that writers of computer program viruses are veritable foul spirits. Though people living in the simulation might be able to use in-context natural medical cures for illnesses, the true source of all illnesses experienced by residents of the Matrix are devilish computer programmer viruses and malwear of a different world order.

Simulations of universes by civilizations with advanced intelligence are something of a common speculation of modern cosmology. If humanity doesn't destroy its environment on Earth before learning to build ecospheres on barren worlds; if human civilization advances over millennia to learn the deeper structure of cosmological physics so far as to be able to design and generate universes itself-the Universes it makes would probably be those with an anthropic principle of friendliness for living beings.

Over time perhaps an infinite number of life-friendly universes might be designed. Yet with advanced design intelligence there arises the possibility that malefactors of the future could create illness and evils for residents of those universes (perhaps illegally) that only prayer to the creators of the Universe might fix in the absence of technical skill. In fact the Universe might be designed to subtly respond with affirmative action to prayer as a positive s/r feedback for sentient thought.

Some diseases caused by supernatural devils from other universes or of the future as programmers of simulated universes or as time and space modifiers of artificially generated universes might be locally remedied with natural in-context cures, and others might be repaired only with a plea to the Creator.

Obviously it may well be that there are no additional Universes. Jesus Christ as God recognized that foul spirit might coincide with disease. Might cause programming malfunctions to The Father's Universe be introduced by spiritual malwear?

Alternatively, The Lord might have found using common terminology was simpler than explaining biological concepts beyond the ken of people of that era.

In Mark 14 Jesus mentions that he does not himself know when he shall return-only The Father knows that. Even today we cannot be certain when the age of the nations will be fulfilled and The Lord will return. We should live as if it were to be today.

Mar 14:32 "But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, not the angels which are in heaven, neither The Son, but the Father."

33:" Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is."

34:" For the Son of man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch."

35: "Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cock crowing, or in the morning:
36:"Lest suddenly coming he find you sleeping.
37:"And what I say unto you, I say unto all. Watch."

If there are infinite alternative universes it does not mean that Jesus Christ has to appear and be crucified in each of those Universes either- The decision of God to send the Son of God into a Universe to save the lost and wayward is unique. The Son of God is non-contingent being; he need not appear as a phenomenal issue in every universe (even His virgin conception indicates a miraculous intervention into the natural order of this Universe) and is not subject to the odds of universal natural selection from the promulgation of an infinite number of universes with all things with a non-zero probability of occurring being actualized in every possible form in an infinite number of universes.

Devils as malefactious computer programmers, as toxic waste emitters, as designers of global warming and unnecessary hot weather heat injury, as tax cutters under-funding health care for the poor, as extra-dimensional designers of lepton and muon structural entanglement interpolating human biological malfunction; there are a billion ways that intentional design of sickness might be added to human beings by what l spirits and Devils to Cure appear to human beings to be supernatural causes.

Some of those appearances might actually be caused by metaphysical malwear devil design while others might be designed naturally for reasons requiring additional theological clarification for those interested, as well as the usual medical procedures that are affordable.
