601 Words3 Pages

Healing In Judges 9:23 reads in the LXX, evil spirit ‘πνεῦμα πονηρὸν’. Some argue that this spirit was not a personal demon, but that it is reasonably that it is a kind of psychological state that caused disorders in the social communication. In the Akkadian the evil spirit or wind ‘sham lemnu ’ in the ANE was used to refer to demonic powers that cause a wide range of illnesses. The healing of the sick was also a major aspect in the task of the Christ (Isa 61:1). Bodily sicknesses are often thought to be done by demons in that period(Matt 4:24). In Luke 4:39 Jesus rebukes ‘ἐπετίμησεν’ a fever, normally this word is only used in respect with a demon, person or only by rebuking the sea. And stands in connection with defeating the chaos. …show more content…

Summary Of The Devil Within Sq's

Demons were thought of as beings that did not physically exist, thereby allowing them to easily get into the bodies of humans. Humans were thought of as being very penetrable and having many openings for the devil to gain access inside them.

The New Testament solidified for people the true existence of demons.

Analyzing The Wendigo Spirit In Playing Through Until Dawn

1450 Words | 6 Pages

Since monstrous individuals were interpreted as deliberate messages and signs of displeasure of the God, it could be that God purposely create Wendigos to punish people who commit sins. Moreover, the account of Wendigo would become more credible in this religious framework because for medieval readers and writers “truth could exist on various levels, both literal and figurative” (Daston & Park, pg. 60). Conversely, because of the widespread of Wendigo psychosis among Algonquians, the Wendigo phenomenon might present itself in a different light, as it resembles the witch hunting in the Middle Ages in which the victims of aggression or abnormality are redefined as aggressors. Just as witches are accused of being possessed by devil, people with Wendigo psychosis could also be framed as being possessed by evil spirit. Since witch hunts served to eradicate a specific class in the churches’ narratives, Wendigo psychosis could also serve as the same effect to remove those who are sinful.

Black Death Dbq

1163 Words | 5 Pages

The historical pandemic of the Black Death (1347-1352), which killed 25 million people, greatly impacted the European history of the Middle Ages. Originating from China and Inner Asia, the infection of the bacterium Yersinia pestis had widely spread, rapidly infecting those who encounter the infected. The main cause of the spread derived from flea-infected rats on boats or the fleas on the bodies and clothes of the travellers. People at the time had limited understanding of the world, so they believed that the Black Death had an association with supernatural forces such as God’s punishment for sin and demonic acts, along with performing medical procedures that were futile for the disease. The era was highly affected by the plague,

The Great Plague: The Black Death

731 Words | 3 Pages

The Christians thought the Lord was punishing them with the disease, and that when the Lord was enraged to embrace in acts of penance, so that you do not stray from the right path and parish. The Christians pray to their Lord and ask what they should do? A great number of saintly sisters of the Hotel Dieu, who did not fear to die, nursed the sick in all sweetness and humility, with no thought of honor, a number too often renewed by death, rest in peace with Christ, as we may piously believe. People began to think the Jews were guilty for the disease. The Muslims looked at praying for the disease to go away in disgust, because they believe the plague is a blessing from God.

Firmicus Summary

As Quinn observes, for Firmicus as for Tertullian, Minucius Felix, Cyprian, and Arnobius, all Christians have the ability to exorcise. “Lo, that demon whom you worship, when he hears the names of God and His Christ, trembles and can hardly put together stammering words,” he writes in another place. The devil, who as the prince and “procreator” of demons, is the chief target of the attack on paganism. Quinn rightly comments that Firmicus’ understanding of the gospel message in terms of exorcism has its roots in Jesus’ message.
