The Marginalization of Demons and Exorcism in theApostolic Fathers

>The “Apostolic Fathers,” a group of Christian texts written from the latefirst century to the early second century, are recognized as unusual intheir era for their paucity of references to demons, demon possession,exorcism, and illness caused by demons; additionally, rejection of super-natural evil beliefs has also been noted in texts such as the Didache. The fact that a number of texts in the Apostolic Fathers contain explicit refer-ence to supernatural evil, typically a figure identified as Satan, makes it more remarkable that other texts in the same corpus do not contain anysuch references.Although texts without references to supernatural evil are a minorityreport (rather than a growing trend) within early Christian literature, thisdistinctive feature of these other texts is even more apparent when theyare compared with the Christian texts from the mid-second century on-wards, which demonstrate a significant development in the role of super-natural evil within Christian theology; the introduction of exorcism andrepudiation of Satan at baptism, enlargement of Christian demonology, adoption of the concept of Satan as a fallen angel, and the identificationof fallen angels with demons. Lack of consensus on the reason for the absence of demons and exor-cism from these texts prompts this study. It is proposed that certain textsamong the Apostolic Fathers corpus exhibit a significant marginalizationof Satan and demons, and that the cause of this is an etiology of evilwhich is anthropogenic rather than supernatural. Specifically, it is arguedthat the writers of the Didache, 1 Clement, Shepherd of Hermas, Martyr-dom of Polycarp, and 2 Clement, identify humans as the origin and causeof evil, rather than Satan or demons.

TRACKING THE TRILLIONS: 6-MONTH CHECKUP ON IMF’S COVID-19 EMERGENCY AID

The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated already staggering levels of economic inequality in many countries around the world. Now there is a real risk that trillions of dollars meant to support those hardest hit by the crisis may be captured by the wealthy, increasing inequality as countries are saddled with public debt for money lost to corruption.

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has lent US$89 billion to over 80 countries since March. The Fund has sought to ensure that its emergency assistance helps push back on the rising tide of inequality, with IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva giving countries a road-map: invest in health and education, widen safety nets, and ensure access to food; address budget shortfalls through progressive taxation; and cut corruption and wasteful spending.

But there is little in the loan agreements to make governments heed that advice; some even include terms that could actually go against it.

How does my critique of your bullshit 'information' constitute attacking the messenger?

You are a cunt attacks the messenger.

You are a joke attacks the messenger.

My other posts simply point out how devious and disingenuous your 'information' is.
