Herein we will consider info on Satan in Bishop Archelaus of Kashkar aka Caschor in Mesopotamia (3rd century AD). The fuller complete result consists of quotations of those sections within the text that refer to Angels, Cherubim, Seraphim, Devil, Satan, demons, serpent and dragon. The point is not to elucidate these references but to provide relevant partial quotations and citations. See my section on Angels here, Cherubim and Seraphim here, Satan here and Demons here.
13 For as Hymenaeus and Alexander were delivered unto Satan, that they might learn not to blaspheme…absurdity of these men’s teaching, and show that none of these things can be attributed to the God and Father of our Lord and Saviour, but that we must take Satan to be the cause of all our ills…They, too, set forth that devourer of blood and flesh; and to that Satan and to his prophets all these things properly pertain which he wished to transfer to the Father of Christ.
16 And if, again, all these are also evil, how can Satan then cast out Satan? But while thus reduced to a dilemma on this point, you may change your position in the discussion, and say that the good suffered violence from the evil.
20 But it was of Satan that He spoke when He said, that He “beheld him as lightning fall from heaven; ”so that no one dare say that He taught us to pray to him. And surely Jesus did not come down from heaven with the purpose of bringing men together, and reconciling them to Satan; but, on the contrary, He gave him over to be bruised beneath the feet of His faithful ones.
25 For in the supposition implied in your similitude God thus handed over to Satan a soul that he might seize and ruin.
32 But because it was God who first gave the commandment, the Lord Jesus Himself said to the devil, “Get behind me, Satan; ”and, without doubt, to go behind God is the sign of being His servant.
33 For “after the sop Satan entered into him” completely.
35 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed, like an Angel of light.
36 But who, pray, are you then, to whose lot no such position of kinship has been assigned by your father Satan?…For if he professes himself to be looking for some perfect one, and if some one must needs come, show us who it is of whom he speaks; lest that word of his perchance appear to carry us back to this man, Manes, or to him who has sent him, that is to say, Satan, according to your affirmation. But if you admit that that which is perfect is yet to come, then this excludes Satan; and if you look for the coming of Satan, then that excludes the perfect.
48 And in answer then to Peter He said: “Get behind me, Satan; for you savour not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.”
In the next segment, we will consider Angels in Aristides.
