I was reading Ephesians 5:18 and decided to pursue the note at the 
bottom of my bible on the complexities of Greek "be filled" and I 
opened up doors I previously did not know existed. Checked out your 
website; I'm interested in Greek. Two years ago I tried teaching some 
classic Greek words in Gym class, and the kids looked at me like I was 
nuts. Maybe I was.

Question:

Is the word 'possession' in the Bible anywhere? As in, 'by demons' or 
'by the Devil'?

Isn't to 'be filled' a form of positive possession, of the Holy Spirit? 
Or would you describe the Holy Spirit taking possession, as a new 
couple does, moving in and taking ownership of a new house?

If you have time, reply, if not, I understand.

Thanks for doing this kind of work. I bet it is much under appreciated.
