Notes:

1. (re: demon,  this comes from pagan religions, where there are many gods, spirits, and forces that can affect man.  Realize that medical knowledge was non-existent!  No one knew of bacteria, viruses, germs, or chemicals in the body that affect behaviors. Therefore, something had to be 'invented' that could explain why someone was ill, or 'not normal'. Spirits or 'devils' or demons provided that 'scapegoat'.)
2. Christianity still believes that 'being filled with the Holy Spirit' is, in essence, 'being possessed' by god! Yes, we can rebel, but if we don't, the 'Spirit' makes us do whatever..!  Not so! Not true!  We submit ourselves to obeying HIS commandments, to 'loving GOD'; or we don't!  If we do, it is our will that is 'agreeing with HIS Spirit' (Rom. 8:16)
3. Is. 45 has multiple proclamations, by GOD, that there is no other 'power' than HIM!  No demons, no devils, no satan, (other than men who "savor not the things that be of GOD" [Matt.16:23]).
