ooh, what are demons?

Answer 1

An invisible, wicked, spirit creature having superhuman powers. The common Greek word for demon (dai′mon) occurs only once in the Christian Greek Scriptures.

The demons as such were not created by God. The first to make himself one was Satan the Devil, who became the ruler of other angelic sons of God who also made themselves demons.

In Noah’s day disobedient angels materialized, married women, fathered a hybrid generation known as Nephilim, and then dematerialized when the Flood came. (Ge 6:1-4) However, upon returning to the spirit realm, they did not regain their lofty original position, for Jude 6 says: “The angels that did not keep their original position but forsook their own proper dwelling place he has reserved with eternal bonds under dense darkness for the judgment of the great day.” So it is in this condition of dense spiritual darkness that they must now confine their operations. Though evidently restrained from materializing, they still have great power and influence over the minds and lives of men, even having the ability to enter into and possess humans and animals, and the facts show that they also use inanimate things such as houses, fetishes, and charms.

The purpose of all such demonic activity is to turn people against Jehovah and the pure worship of God. Jehovah’s law, therefore, strictly forbade demonism in any form. However, wayward Israel went so far astray as to sacrifice their sons and daughters to the demons. When Jesus was on earth demon influence was very prevalent, and some of his greatest miracles consisted of expelling wicked spirits from victimized persons. Jesus gave this same power to his 12 apostles and to the 70 that he sent out, so that in the name of Jesus they too could cast out the demons.

Demon influence in human affairs is no less manifest today. It is still true that “the things which the nations sacrifice they sacrifice to demons.” (1Co 10:20) In the last book of the Bible, the “revelation by Jesus Christ, which God gave him, to show his slaves the things that must shortly take place,” prophetic warning is given concerning accelerated demon activity on the earth. “Down the great dragon was hurled, the original serpent, the one called Devil and Satan, who is misleading the entire inhabited earth; he was hurled down to the earth, and his angels [demons] were hurled down with him.

Christians must, therefore, put up a hard fight against these unseen wicked spirits. James, in arguing that belief alone is not sufficient, says: “You believe there is one God, do you? You are doing quite well. And yet the demons believe and shudder.” (Jas 2:19) “In later periods of time,” warned Paul, “some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to misleading inspired utterances and teachings of demons.

Answer 2

As with angels, there are several levels. The upper levels are powerful enough to seem like gods. The lower levels plant words and images in peoples minds and are responsible for conditions similar to schizophrenia, paranoia, anxiety and psychosis (these conditions are not always caused by demons. Some are. I speak from personal experience).

These are created beings that have existed since befoe mankind. They represent a third of all spiritual entities and are outnumbered 2 to 1 by the Angelic Host, who have the same abilities but are loyal to God.

Technically demons, as well as angels, are genderless. However, demons have been known to interbreed with humans. These are the Nephilim. People of their line are the "heroes of old" and gave rise to legends such as Hercules. They are extremely tall (one reputed to be 13 feet tall), and extremely strong.

Demons were given authority over the Earth by Adam when he acted disloyally to God. They are responsible for cultivating the warlike, selfish, immoral and greedy nature of man.

Christians have authority over demons because they are "born again" as citizens of The Kingdom of God. They are, therefore, not bound by Adam's curse but have the same authority he had befor his disloyalty.

Answer 3

even as did this all started? were you dozing or were you completely wakeful and conscious even as this got here about? Which gender are you? The succubus is a lady demon and the incubus is a male gendered demon. both the succubus and the incubus are forcible with the residing man or woman to have interaction sexual sex, yet when it changed into in no way foul and also you've been seduced by the demon to be able to have sex with you, then it will be the incubi or the succubi.
