Exorcismes dans la Bible

Les pratiques de nature exorciste ont été connues dans les religions païennes, mais elles prenaient souvent la forme d’inflexion devant l’esprit du mal, de manifestation de respect à son égard. Elles étaient de caractère religieux, magique ou médical. L’Ancien Testament parle très rarement de satan, il évite tout ce qui pourrait suggérer la dualité entre le bien et le mal. Satan est décrit à la fois comme l’un des anges et comme un adversaire, un accusateur devant le Trône de Dieu. La lutte contre les forces du mal prend différentes formes:

Who is the fallen angel?

Satan is a real, existing being, working among people, In the Holy Scripture he appears as early as the Book of Genesis, as the serpent. It is he who persuades the first people to be disobedient to God and thus leads them to their fall. The devil is a cunning tempter who leads away from obedience to God. From then on his work is identified with the spreading of sin, suffering and death. In the book of Job, Satan’s impudence, his power over the physical world and his perversity are shown. The tempting of Jesus Christ depicts the evil spirit as a usurper. It is visible in biblical scenes of exorcism. The devil, tempting through greed, induces Judas to denounce Jesus to the Pharisees.

Seven truths about Satan

Christ has greater power than the devil. “What business do we have with each other, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who You are – the Holy One of God!”, shouted the demons in saint Mark’s Gospel 1:24.
