Psalm 96:5

“…considered gods by the heathen, as not being gods, but demons, according to the declaration of the prophets, “For all the gods of the nations are demons,” had among them no one who professed to be a prophet, and who could restrain such as, from a desire to know the future, were ready to desert to the demons of…” — editor's note: Ps. xcvi. 5, δαιμόνια, “idols,” Auth. Vers. We have in this passage, and in many others, the identification of the δαίμονες or gods of the heathen with the…

“For we know that there are many creatures more honourable than man; and we have read that “God standeth in the congregation of gods,” but of gods who are not worshipped by the nations, “for all the gods of the nations are idols.”” — editor's note: δαιμόνια. Cf. Ps. xcvi. 5.

“Wherefore, the worship of all demons would be inconsistent in us who worship the Supreme God; and the service of demons is the service of so-called gods, for “all the gods of the heathen are demons.”” — editor's note: Ps. xcv. 5 (LXX.); xcvi. 5 (Heb.)

“And by this name “gods” we are not to understand the objects of heathen worship (for we know that “all the gods of the heathen are demons”), but the gods mentioned by the prophets as forming an assembly, whom God “judges,” and to each of whom He assigns his proper work.” — editor's note: Ps. xcvi. 5.

“As with David: “The gods of the heathen are idols of demons;” and, “Ye shall not follow other gods.”” — editor's note: Ps. xcvi. 5.

“And in order that the Holy Spirit may convince [us] of this, He said by the holy David, ‘The gods of the nations, reputed gods, are idols of demons, and not gods;’ and He denounces a curse on those who worship them.”” — editor's note: Ps. xcvi. 5.

“And you are aware that David said, ‘The gods of the nations are demons.’ ”” — editor's note: Ps. xcvi. 5.

“Accordingly, with the utmost clearness and brevity, the prophetic word condemns this practice: “For all the gods of the nations are the images of demons; but God made the heavens, and what is in heaven.”” — editor's note: Ps. xcvi. 5.

“The same then is our God.” — editor's note: Ps. xcvi. 5.

“Ye have certainly nothing else in your temples, nothing else inspires your prophets than a devil.” — editor's note: Ps. xcvi. 5.

“He is exalted above devils: but neither is this very great; the heathen gods indeed are devils, but “He is far above all gods.”” — editor's note: Ps. xcvi. 5.

“For we also read in the Gospel that the demons confessed Him; and in our prophets it is written in this wise: “For the gods of the nations are demons.”” — editor's note: Ps. xcvi. 5. [Comp 1 Cor. x. 20, where “demons” is the more correct rendering (so Revised Version margin and American revisers’ text).—R.]

“For all the gods of the nations are idols; but the Lord made the heavens.”” — editor's note: Ps. xcvi. 4, 5.

“And where it is said, “He is to be feared above all gods,” the reason is forthwith added, for it follows, “for all the gods of the nations are idols, but the Lord made the heavens.”” — editor's note: Ps. xcvi. 5, 6.

“For all the gods of the nations are demons: but the Lord made the heavens.”” — editor's note: Ps. xcvi. 1–5.

“And the Psalmist David has taught us to sing “For all the gods of the nations are idols, but the Lord made the heavens.”” — editor's note: Psalm xcvi. 5

“For salvation is not sure unless everyone worship in truth the true God, that is the God of the Christians, under Whose sway are all things; for He alone is the true God, Who is to be worshipped from the bottom of the heart; for “the gods of the heathen,” as Scripture says, “are devils.”” — editor's note: Ps. xcvi. [xcv.] 5.

“But when even man is called “god” as in the words, “I have said ye are gods,” and “dæmon” as in the words, “The gods of the nations are dæmons,” in the former case the name is given by favour, in the latter untruly.” — editor's note: Ps. xcvi. 5, LXX.
