Do you really think if your consciousness was transfered to a Pig you would want to live your current life span out that way?

I would think being human would be preferable to being a pig.

Quote:If the demons were in control, I doubt they would have run to him, instead of hidden away. Demons aren't compelled to obey Jesus or Yahweh, otherwise Satan wouldn't have rebelled. Or the angels wouldn't have followed him.
Unless they were allowed to do so.
Just like they were allowed to Leave the man and infest pigs.

Quote:If the demons wanted to die, they would have asked for that. Obviously they were trying to reach a compromise by going into the pigs. Again, if they wanted to have something run into the sea and drown, they didn't need anyone's permission to go into pigs first. Why would they?
If Jesus cast the demons out where do you think He would have sent them? They were pretty sure according to Mark that they would be sent to a place of 'torment.' that is why they Asked Him not to do that, and selected the pigs instead.
