Tucker attacked by Demons

I have a few including the 12 volume Interpreter's Bible, The New Revised Standard Version, KJV, Oxford - probably a couple more plus a fair amount of books of analysis, commentary, etc.

What's surprising to me is that Tucker who has so often referred to the Judeo-Christian world and his vast knowledge of everything now - appears to have NO experience with what many would claim is the most influential book of all time. Having scratches while having 4 dogs in the bed with him and giving no thought that one of the dogs could have been the cause is a smidge odd.

How many do you have? Or do you use an ap?

I've got a few KJV versions (Thompson, Scofield) Amplified, NIV, NASB95, HCSB, CSB and I've been working my tail off (a bit unsuccessfully, I'm old and my mind isn't as sharp as it used to be) trying to read the NT in Koine Greek. I often refer to Henry, Spurgeon's Sermons, McArthur and Wesley. I'd like to have a New American Commentary, but I don't.

One fact remains the same...The more I think I know, the more I don't.

To be fair, we have the basic texts of Buddhist, Islamic, Hindu and a few other religions as well - but still surprising to me is Tucker's lack of awareness.

I have no way to know what is in Tucker's heart. I do know he has identified as Episcopalian in the past, but I would peg Carlson as more of a "cultural Christian", if I had to make a guess.

As many of us do, perhaps he is becoming more conservative in his religious views as he grows older.

Being attacked by the monster hiding under the bed will do that to you.

I will say this, in a more general sense...If you believe in angels, you must believe in demons, as demons are fallen angels.

I rightly suspect Kluurs assessment is correct. More like a canine bed partner than an imaginary demon or fallen angel.

Either that or That FuCa character is making up stories again. Conjured demons make for sensational media exposure.

I will grant it's conceivable that an angel attacked him

It’s also conceivable that he inadvertently opened an inter-dimensional portal under the bed covers in the space time continuum and a malevolent creature from another dimension physically assaulted him.

I am however loathe to attribute the dubious event to an alien encounter or abduction.
