Ben, I am quite familiar with the Guide for the Perplexed, and it has nothing whatsoever to do with either my comment or your response.

Rambam equates angels with disembodied intellect -- and none of that has to do with adversaries (satans) which exist in the form of humans and spirit. You are still twisting your own thoughts with Jewish teaching and misleading others, your last post being a perfect example.

It is hypocritical and hilarious that you to reference the Rambam...

Hi,

I don't believe my initial question has been answered.

Why do evil spiritual beings fear the name of Jesus?

Many missionaries talk about the myriad and dark spiritual activities in Southeast Asia and it is only through the name of Jesus that they are able to prevail.

Really? No one as you know has been afflicted by evil spirits before? There is no solution in judaism for those demonically possessed?

There is no such a thing as a demonically possessed Jew. The name is mentally disturbed people as a result of a chemical brain unbalance
whose mind somehow stops functioning properly.
