DEVILS, DEMONS AND BIBLICAL TRUTH
(A series of articles in the Australian Christadelphian Shield of 1995)
INTRODUCTION
In January 1993 a farmer’s wife in Victoria, Australia died whilst being exorcised of a so-called "demon," and during the much publicized manslaughter trial that followed, it became increasingly obvious that some people today most certainly believe in demon possession, and the practice of exorcism should not be dismissed as innocuous ritual of religious cranks. This series is an attempt to explain such happenings in the light of biblical teaching and to come to grips with a subject which has proved bewildering to many who are reluctant to accept that intelligent evil forces exist which are in total opposition to God.
Contrary to what a casual reader of the Bible might think, biblical terms such as "devils," "demons," "evil spirits" "Satan" etc. represent less than 1% of Scripture content and are never given a high profile. However, it is our intention to examine some of them at least, and also to investigate reported cases of paranormal phenomena to discover if there is any scriptural justification for claims that supernatural evil forces are at work amongst us
The series is divided into: - Paranormal Phenomena - Mind Powers - An Explanation - Demons in the Bible - The "Devil" - Conclusion
