IT IS THE DEMON-POSSESSED WHO REFER TO THEMSELVES IN THE PLURAL

In the Bible we learn that it is the demon possessed who refer to themselves in the plural: we, they, us. They identify as a collective, not as individuals.

This becomes relevant when examining modern culture’s growing confusion surrounding identity, gender, and self-definition. Transgender ideology teaches that biological reality is subordinated to internal feelings and subjective self-perception. Increasingly, society encourages individuals to detach the mind from the reality of the body and construct identity according to personal desire rather than according to God’s created order: “male and female created he them” (Genesis 1:27).

Rather than identifying as a single particular gender, they speak as a plural collective, a fractured assembly of an imagining. This detail reveals a deep spiritual truth about the nature of demonic oppression: it fragments the person, distorts self-perception and distances the individual from the identity God originally intended.

Consider the following passages:
• [Matthew 8:29] "And behold, THEY cried out, saying, 'What have WE to do with You, Jesus, You Son of God? Have You come here to torment US before the time?'"

• [Mark 5:7] "And THEY cried out with a loud voice and said, 'What have WE to do with You, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I adjure You by God that You do not torment US.'"

• [Luke 8:28] "So when he saw Jesus, he cried out and fell down before Him, and with a loud voice said, 'What have WE to do with You, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg You, do not torment US.'"

In Mark 5:9, the possessed man of Gadara declares, "My name is Legion: for WE are many." Here, a single human being speaks not as "I" but as "we." His identity has been overtaken, colonized by forces outside of God's design. He is restless, self-destructive, alienated from the natural community, and cut off from the wholeness that God intends for every human person. Can we not see this picture of human degeneration everywhere these dsys!

Throughout Scripture, demonic influence is consistently associated with confusion, fragmentation, loss of individual identity, and rebellion against God's created order. The demon-possessed are not at peace; they are tormented, divided, and often unable to recognize themselves as unified creations made in the image of God.

This biblical pattern becomes spiritually significant when we examine contemporary culture's growing obsession with identity reconstruction. Today, many are taught that feelings are more authoritative than the body, that self-perception overrides the created order, and that identity is something to be endlessly redefined rather than gratefully received from God.

The modern movement surrounding transgender identity often encourages language and thinking that mirrors this biblical pattern of fragmentation.
For example:
Plural pronouns (they/them) are increasingly adopted as a way of expressing a non-binary or fluid sense of self. While many use these pronouns sincerely and without malicious intent, the linguistic parallel to the demonic "we" is worth noting soberly.

Where Scripture presents a single, unified "I" as the norm for a whole person, the world offers a fragmented "we" as an ideal.
The concept of being "born in the wrong body" inherently sets the mind and body against one another, rather than viewing them as a unified whole designed by God. This dualism, treating the body as an obstacle to the "true self"echoes ancient heresies that denied the goodness of God's physical creation.

The constant pursuit of new labels, pronouns and identity categories lead to a restless, anxious searching that never fully settles. Many who embrace these frameworks describe ongoing internal turmoil, dissatisfaction, and a sense of never quite "arriving" at a stable self. This restlessness bears a strong resemblance to the demoniac of Gadara, who was "always, night and day, in the mountains and in the tombs, crying out and cutting himself with stones" (Mark 5:5).

What we are witnessing, then, is a spiritual conflict over the nature of truth, the authority of Scripture and the goodness of God's created order. From Eden onward, Satan's work has been to blur, twist, and ultimately destroy the distinctions God established.

The enemy seeks confusion because confusion weakens moral clarity, distances humanity from God's design, and traps souls in endless cycles of self-redefinition rather than humble submission to the One who made them. When a society begins to say that biological s*x is a "social construct," that maleness and femaleness are matters of internal feeling rather than divine gift, and that children should be encouraged to "explore" identities apart from their God-given bodies, we are witnessing the fruit of a worldview that has rejected the authority of the Creator for demonic control.

The Apostle Paul describes this trajectory in Romans 1: "They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator... God gave them over to a depraved mind" (Romans 1:25, 28).

This is not a statement of cruelty but a sober warning: when humanity persistently rejects God's design, God permits that rejection to run its course, leading to confusion, dishonor, and the fracturing of the very self; madness.

Into this brokenness, the Gospel speaks a different word. Christ did not come to deepen confusion but to bring deliverance, clarity, and transformation. The demoniac of Gadara, once screaming among the tombs and cutting himself with stones, was later found "clothed, and in his right mind" (Mark 5:15). Notice the details: he is clothed, restored to dignity and modesty.
He is not parading in the streets naked, covered with nothing but a prideful and distorted version of the rainbow. No. He is in his right mind, his identity is no longer fractured but whole and authentic. He is sitting at the feet of Jesus, no longer wandering in torment but resting in the presence of his Savior.

Scripture consistently presents redemption as the restoration of the human person according to God's original purpose and design.

For those struggling with gender confusion or any form of identity fragmentation, the Church must be a place of refuge, truth, and restoration. We are called to offer the same remedy Jesus offered: to confront the power of sin, rebuke the unclean spirit, and lovingly rescue the sinner from destructive deception and perversion. Christ never condemned the broken, but neither did He leave them in bo***ge. His words were filled with both mercy and authority: “Go, and sin no more” (John 8:11). True compassion does not affirm confusion; it points the wounded soul to healing, repentance, deliverance, and the wholeness that can only be found in Jesus Christ.

The enemy is a liar and a thief, and his goal is always to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10). He loves nothing more than to convince you that the body God gave you is a mistake.

But Jesus says: "Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest" (Matthew 11:28). That rest is not found in pronouns or surgeries or new labels. It is found in a Person, the One who made you since in the womb, who you truly are, who died for you, and who rose again to give you deliverance from sin. In Him, you are not a "we." You are one of only two genders, beloved, named, and called by the God who never makes mistakes.
