Do you believe epilepsy likely existed before the Bible was written?

[Anonymous]

There are texts in the Bible about seizures, do you think this means it’s likely seizure disorders such as epilepsy existed even before the Bible was written?

It was most likely there and not all issues are spiritually related as some are birth defects, birth defects aren't demonic, they were most likely born that way with purpose and there's many that show good examples to people that might look disabled but have the ability to do things people believe shouldn't be possible with their disabilities, the christian bible was written after Christ and that doesn't mean things mentioned in it were nonexistent before it was written even tho some specific things might like the sacrifice of Christ or certain ways in the christian faith but there was definitely life before the times of Christ.
