This usage of the word “legion” derives from the New Testament story of the devils of Gadara as first recounted in the gospel of Mark 5:1-19, then adapted to appear also in the gospels of Matthew and Luke. An insane man, who lived among the tomb caves and cut himself with stones, confronted Jesus as He arrived. The demon spoke through the man, saying, “Don't bother me.” Jesus, recognizing the possessing demon, asks, “What is your name?” The demon replied, “I am Legion, for we are many.” The man pleads not to be sent away from this area, presumably where he was a native. The demon(s), expecting to be expelled from the man, ask to be sent into a nearby herd of swine. Jesus obligingly transfers the demon(s) into the swine. The swine suddenly take on the madness the man had been experiencing and rush down to the shore of the lake and are drowned, all 2,000 of them. Jesus, as a Jew and abhorring swine, felt no compunction about their demise, but the people of the area, non-Jews and pork eaters, had just lost much of their yearly food supply. They begged Jesus to move on. It seems unlikely they were compensated for their economic disaster. But this was the kind of story people of the time would have found convincing as to the magical powers of Jesus. - *The Holy Spirit will help Snit* Snit will not be pleased. For one, he not only *abhors* religion, Lie 1 from Steve Carroll. Christianity is at the top of his hate list. Lie 2 from Steve Carroll. Secondly, etymology is something he laughs at. Lie 3 from Steve Carroll. When you're creating your own dictionary, like he is, a thing like word history gets in his way. Lie 4 from Steve Carroll Yes, Steve Carroll lies more in a day than he can show me lying in a year. Snit will be helped whether he likes it or not! Perhaps. Haha! You have no choice my friend! :-D The devil - in the shape and form of diesel - cannot and WILL not be allowed to win! 👹 He, like Carroll, will likely defeat himself. I suggest that the good guys help speed up the process. |
