I realize this is somewhat old, but it caught me by surprise. The esteemed Hughes Oliphint Old, whose books I have on my shelf, said he doesn't believe in Satan and demons.
I want to give him a charitable reading and think he might be saying something like,
"I don't understand how that phenomenon works, having never experienced it."
That would be fine, except that's not what he is saying.
If someone held to this view, and let's say he was in the Evangelical Theological Society, would this compromise a belief in inerrancy and therefore such a person would have to cancel his membership?
I really do not believe in Satan, demonic spirits, and demon possession. Maybe I ought to, but I don’t.
