Além da Doutrina: Satanás, Demônios e o Problema do Mal

Satanás é nome próprio ou função? Lúcifer nunca foi o nome original do Diabo. Guerra espiritual, demônios e a responsabilidade humana.

  1. 1

    Is Satan a proper name or function?

    The Bible uses Satan both as an adversary and as a personal accusatory figure; in Jesus, this figure is confronted and overcome.

  2. 2

    Lucifer was never the original name of the Devil

    Isaiah 14 speaks of the king of Babylon, not of the origin of the Devil. “Lucifer” became a proper name through translation and later reinterpretation.

  3. 3

    Does demon in the Bible always mean evil spirit?

    In the Gospels, “demon” usually indicates a hostile spirit; however, the Bible does not authorize transforming all suffering into possession or moral guilt.

  4. 4

    When religion calls illness a devil

    This text rejects the reduction of illnesses and disorders to possession, defending discernment, medical care and a Christocentric reading of the Gospels.

  5. 5

    Is spiritual warfare fighting people or overcoming evil?

    Spiritual warfare is not hunting people: in Christ, the battle is against evil, lies and violence, without paranoia or dehumanization.

  6. 6

    Blaming the Devil is a way of avoiding responsibility

    Blaming Satan can hide human choices, unjust systems, and abusive leaders. The biblical text maintains spiritual action without absolving moral responsibility.
