Epilepsy And A Demon (Mt. 17:18)

Read Matthew 17:114-21 for context,

The boy Jesus healed was an epileptic (Mt. 17:15, MEV).  That was the natural cause.  Jesus saw the supernatural cause -- a demon -- and dealt with it.  Would you or I have been so sensitive?  So bold? Before you make such an equation -- that what looks like epilepsy is actually demon activity -- you had better know that you heard from God.  Certainly this account isn't teaching that all epileptic activity is demonic.
