Book cover for On Satan, Demons, and Psychiatry: Exploring Mental Illness in the Bible
I began to explain my findings and clinical impression to Mr. S and his parents. I asked him from where he believed his thoughts were coming, to which he replied, “The messages from the angels are coming from God and the spirits that have ...more

“Rather than original sin—a moral depravity and incapacity passed on from generation to generation—we have a death-infected world created by a primal act of disobedience. Thus the Orthodox don’t speak of original sin but of an ancestral sin, a primal event where death was introduced into the world. The condition we inherit from Adam and Eve is less moral than mortal.”
Richard Beck, The Slavery of Death

“Even if a person were to finally and irrevocably reject God so as to choose the privation of evil, opting for nonbeing instead of being, God, the ground of all being, would continue to sustain that person in being.17 The doctrine of Satan envisages that God does not destroy being, or allow it to be subsumed by nothingness. As such, the doctrine is a powerful statement of God’s unconditional commitment to creation and to enemy love. Understood thus, the doctrine of Satan is but a footnote in support of Catholicism’s sacramental vision of the universe whereby the omnipresent God is understood to exist in and through all things.”
Alan McGill, The Possibility of Satan: A Case for Reformulating the Catholic Church’s Teachings on the Devil

“There is no Road to Damascus moment, no flash of light; rather it is the story of a young man whose spiritual life was increasingly in conflict with the world around him. This is an early expression of Calvin as a stranger in a foreign land.”
Bruce Gordon, Calvin

Philip Yancey
“Oddly, as I look back on Jesus' time from the present perspective, it is the very ordinariness of the disciples that gives me hope. Jesus does not seem to choose his followers on the basis of native talent or perfectibility or potential for greatness. When he lived on earth he surrounded himself with ordinary people who misunderstood him, failed to exercise much spiritual power, and sometimes behaved like churlish schoolchildren. Three followers in particular (the brothers James and John, and Peter) Jesus singled out for his strongest reprimands—yet two of these would become the most prominent leaders of the early Christians. I cannot avoid the impression that Jesus prefers working with unpromising recruits. Once, after he had sent out seventy-two disciples on a training mission, Jesus rejoiced at the successes they reported back. No passage in the Gospels shows him more exuberant. “At that time139 Jesus, full of joy through the Holy Spirit, said,‘ I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children.”
Philip Yancey, The Jesus I Never Knew

Juan Calvino
“«Es verdad que nadie llega jamás a adquirir un claro conocimiento de sí mismo si no ha contemplado el rostro de Dios y no se ha percatado de cómo Dios lo ve. El orgullo, que está arraigado en nosotros, nos conduce a considerarnos justos y honestos, sabios y santos, hasta que hayamos sido convencidos por los irrefutables argumentos de nuestra injusticia, de nuestras faltas, de nuestra necedad y de nuestra impureza. Esta convicción no se da mientras nos contemplamos únicamente a nosotros mismos y no a Dios, de quién brota la única regla con la que debemos medirnos, y la que debe regirlo todo.

El ojo acostumbrado a lo negro acaba considerando que lo castaño oscuro o lo poco luminoso goza de una magnífica blancura. En efecto, si consideramos todas las cosas con lucidez, nos parece que tenemos la más clara visión imaginable; pero, si elevamos los ojos para mirar el sol, nuestra gran lucidez respecto de las cosas de la tierra se ve inmediatamente deslumbrada y destruida por completo a causa de tal claridad.

Es así también cuando evaluamos nuestros bienes espirituales. Incluso si no nos preocupamos del más allá, satisfechos de nuestra justicia, de nuestra sabiduría y de nuestra fuerza, nos apreciamos y nos adulamos hasta el punto de considerarnos semidioses. Pero, si empezamos a elevar nuestros pensamientos hacia Dios, debidamente conscientes de quién es él, y a considerar la perfección de su justicia, de su sabiduría y de su poder, que debería ser nuestro modelo, entonces todo lo que hasta el momento nos parecía, erróneamente, justo se nos presenta con los repugnantes colores de la suciedad. Lo que consideramos sabiduría se nos presentará como necedad y lo que poseía una buena apariencia de fuerza se delatará como nada más que debilidad.

Esa es, según las Escrituras, la causa del temor y temblor que han abrumado a los santos cada vez que han sentido la presencia de Dios. Podemos ver como quienes se veían llenos de seguridad y marchan con la cabeza alta al estar lejos de Dios, dan por el contrario muestra de pánico y terror hasta el punto de quedar angustiados, totalmente paralizados, por el temor a la muerte, como anonadados, al manifestar Dios su gloria a ellos.

Eso nos permite llegar a la conclusión de que los hombres nunca experimentan el sentimiento de su pobreza con tanta intensidad como cuando se ven comparados con la majestad de Dios.»”
Juan Calvino
