"And he was casting out a devil, and it was dumb. And it came to pass when the devil was gone out, the dumb spake." (Luke 11:14)
Instead of a personality, it was a belief of deafness, an error of mortal sense, that our blessed Master cast out with the spiritual truth of being, namely, that the senses are mind, instead of matter; and the wrong sense and the lost sense, must yield to the right and the eternal sense of existence.
The meaning of the term "devil" needs yet to be learned. Its definition as one individual, is too limited and contradictory. When the Scripture is understood, the spiritual signification of its terms will contradict the interpretations that the senses give them, and be found to include the inspired meaning.
