What is a Demon?

Question

Are 'ghosts' actually demons? What about 'aliens'?

Answer 1

demons are actually the exact same thing as angels just with a different agenda. Lucifer is a demon... as well as the third of the angels that left god and followed him. As far as that agenda is concerned.

Demons can also be thought of as extraplanar citizens that only deal for themselves.

ghosts are not demons....ghosts are ghosts and are just spirits that refuse to move on. Something has them ancored in this world.

aliens...well, aliens are just plain different.....other planet beings ie phyisical.

Answer 2

It's not conclusive but there are aspects of some ghosts and alien encounters that seem quite similar to demonic encounters. I believe they can be, but I don't think they are always demons.

Demons are fallen angels. They were angels of God, but along with Lucifer they rebelled and were cast out of heaven. They continue to have a small measure of the power God created them with, and they are spiritual beings, but they are limited in nature, cannot know everything or be in all places at once, and do not have the love of God in them.

If one does not believe in Jesus and has a spiritual connection with God, then encountering a demon is like going to war without armour or weapons - it is dangerous, and you should be afraid because you have no spiritual protection. The christian however has no reason to fear, despite all appearances to the contrary. The christian can call upon the name of Jesus to expel a demon, and the demon shudders and runs from the name of Jesus. Jesus' name carries power and authority; the name is not a spell though. In the bible some non-christians tried to use Jesus' name to cast out a demon and only found themselves beaten to a pulp, causing the whole city to burn their spell scrolls!

Ghosts could be demons; aliens can be demons too. If they show similar manifestations then yes, they are probably demonic. Some say ghosts are spiritual memories of a traumatic death, a lingering of some awful moment or person's death and sometimes reburying their bones in the right place can put them at ease and cause the ghosts to disappear. There is one place in the bible where a witch called back the spirit of a dead prophet of God and the spirit of the guy (Samuel) did actually appear and gave the king a prophecy, so ghosts can be real spirits.

Aliens seem to either be demonic or they are real beings with a sinister agenda for the most part. The ones that follow the stereotype of kidnapping people and implanting them with chips and doing experiments on people like they were cattle, they can't have a good intention in mind and should not be sought after.

Answer 3

Most of these people have no clue what a demon is or what they do! DEMONS where once an angel of God. But some angels followed Satan thinking sin would be better and every angel that followed him (Satan) is now called a fallen angel or a demon. Satan is the most popular angel/demon of all time! Satan was the most beautiful angel that God has ever created and was God"s #1 angel. Demons are evil spirits that are opposed to God and God's people.They appear to be fallen angels. They were probably created before the world was and, like Satan, fell away from God. Satan and his demons want you to fall into sin or either get you away from Jesus because if they get you in either of these two ways, your soul is theirs for ever! Once they have your soul you go to HELL and you are never coming back the demons torture you for ever and Jesus can never help you because you made your decision of choosing sin but mostly because you didn't accept the Lord Jesus Christ and if you do, no demon can ever come near you or touch you. Demons are afraid of Jesus even just hearing his name they tremble in fear. GHOST are just ways demons play games with us! Their not some spirit of a human it just an ordinary demon that wants you to think its a ghost. Always remember demons mess with you in the mind trying to scare you or make you think dirty thoughts. their main goal is to make you fall! Aliens aren't real the reason why I believe it cause it doesn't say in the bible. Also remember this life is all a TEST! Don't let them fool you! Demons are very good liars.

Answer 4

What is a juvenile delinquent? You have to be a kid and you have to be doing something bad. So what is a demon? In the Bible, demons are a subset of Satan's angels who usually show themselves to humans (like pretending to be real people or ghosts) or through humans (like via possession). However, the concept of demons is not solely a Christian concept. As an aside, ghosts are also Satan's angels as the Bible says that the dead know nothing (i.e., can't answer questions, talk, or be conscious). But back to the question, an ex Satan worshiper learned that after the fall, Lucifer's angels divided into 3 categories. One set is extremely intelligent and have the ability to impersonate the dead (and living), they perpetuate lies and false doctrines. The warrior set create division between families, friends, races, and other segments of society. The third class, the oppressors, find delight only in producing misery and destruction among humans. They went beserk after being kicked out of heaven and it's their way of getting revenge. As for aliens, the Bible mentions unfallen worlds. My conclusion is that they, being sinless, would not visit a sinful world nor abduct us nor stick probes into us.

Answer 5

Three different entities. A demon is an angel that followed Lucifer and fell from Grace (exhiled from Heaven). A ghost is a disembodied spirit that has not made it to Heaven, Purgatory or hell and is dwelling 'between worlds' for whatever reason. An 'alien' would be an extraterrestrial biological entity. That is, a being from a different place in the cosmos other than our Earth.

Hope that helped.

Answer 6

A Demon is a fallen angel that went on Satan's side of the issue against God. No such things as ghosts. Aliens if you mean from outer space...no, they have life maybe like ours or maybe some sort of life...we do not know until we meet one and exchange our sciences. Demons can't materialize but they can cause happenings remember, the word demolition means destruction DEMOlition. they are used that way. Also in the beginning war was not, after sin man was influenced to war. This is against our nature, it is in us to mourn the death of some one death is not natural. DEmons love destruction.

Answer 7

Whoa! Slow down, sit down and take a deep breath! Feeling a little better, Sparky! Good...
A): Ghosts are the 'remnants' of what was once a being in human form.

B): Demons are supposedly, 'evil' entities, that originate from the "Spirit Realm" (If they never existed here in the first place...)

C): Aliens are people from Mexico and Canada that don't have Green Cards

Answer 8

A demon is a malevolent spirit that seeks to either take over or harm humans. Some people believe that they are fallen angels while others think that they came about when the "sons of God" took the daughters of men for wives and had children by them as is mentioned in Genesis 6. According to the extra-Biblical book of Enoch when these beings died there was no place found for them in Heaven or Hell and they were doomed to wander the earth until God finally destroys it and creates a new earth.

Answer 9

The word demon was actually spelt "daemon" until the 20th century came around. The word predates Christianity, in other words, originated some time In BCE (Before Christian Era). The word "daemon" means "god" or "intelligent deity". The gods were replaced with false identities of "demons" so that people would fear them. Te early civilizations of Earth were pagan. Demons are not what most people would have you think they are. They are deities/gods. Some believe they are bodiless powers, other think they are physical extro-terestrials, something they are ghosts, but it's really up to the person. The most incorrect depiction of demons are ugly monsters. In addition, to be a demon is to be apart of the order of Satan/Enki, so they still accept the title "demon". I personally call them gods or daemons, but it's up to the individual. Yes, they can shape-shift into scary monsters, but they only do this when they are pissed and need to punish an idiot. Their natural forms are of beautiful gods

Answer 10

A demon is a fallen angelic spirit,a ghost is a departed human spirit,and aliens are more likely beings from another dimension rather than another planet

Answer 11

yes ghosts are actually demons, demons are those angels who chose to follow satan rather than god, they liked what they saw on earth and wanted some of it for themselves, and now satan uses his demons to make our faith in god stumble, he does this in any ways and one is to have them appear as ghosts, so if you ever see a ghost remember it aint a ghost, it may look like your grandma but it aint ok. they have a real demon problem in certain african countries due to the "black magic" into which they delve. again you see the real problem with asking these sort of questions is that many people have their own ideas as to the answer and inevitably you will end up just as confused as you started, i hope my answer has been of some help. oh and aliens aint real
