God’s name “Elohim,” common in the Hebrew Bible and Jewish tradition, is always used with verbs in the singular even though it is in the plural form. It is shown here that the ungrammatical usage can be seen as the best solution to a natural problem. Namely, tradition assumes that it should be impossible to talk about a general category of gods within which the one God could be located. The best and perhaps the only way to prevent the implicit pluralization of the unique God is to put his name in plural even though it is intended to be used as if it were singular. One cannot form the plural form of the name that is already grammatically plural! Surprisingly, this explanation seems to have been considered by neither classical nor modern commentators.

Since the Second Vatican Council, the question of dialogue between Christianity and Islam has taken a special development. The Church tried to get to know Islam in various ways. One of the questions arising from the output of the dialogue is as follows – are we talking about the same God or another? The article considers this issue. First, it is discussed the meaning of God’s name in the Bible, especially in the Old Testament. Then the topic of meaning of God’s name in Islam was taken up. It is complemented by the Christian message about Jesus Christ. It is in him that God makes his name definitively complete. Therefore, it should be emphasized that the interpretation of God’s nam eis different in Christianity and Islam.

The article is the attempt to analyze the teaching of early christian apologists about possession and exorcisms in Church. They recognize that possession in the strict sense applies to a human body. By contrast, spiritual enslavement consists in introducing someone into impiety. Evil spirits, after turning away from their Creator, envy people the grace of God and try to take them away from God and to enslave. They claim to be gods and demand sacrifices and a cult. Magic is also the way to enslavement, because the effectiveness of magic is connected with the power of demons. An exorcism is a kind of spiritual fight in which a christian, in the name of Jesus, commands demons and liberates the possessed person. Exorcisms are the manifestation of God’s power, which beats evil spirits and exposes their lies. Although the main reason of the liberation is the power of God’s name, faith and ardent prayer of a possessed person and these who pray for him have also an im­pact on that process. Christians who live in the grace of God are under the care of Christ, so they don’t have to fear demons.
