1. Can entities separate from God help us (excluding angels and spirits of the dead)?
2. Is it possible that demonic forces could help us in some way?
3. Are there any neutral spiritual entities? How would we know if they wanted to help or harm us?
Everyone is welcome to make a contribution, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, Wiccans, Satanists, Pagans , Atheists (I don’t really want a debate about the existence of supernatural phenomena or the stupidity of religious belief), Christians (please remain open-minded and not too dogmatic) etc….
Please try to answer as many elements as possible contained within the question with some degree of elaboration.

In this context “separate” can be interpreted in one of two ways. In the sense of:
1. Being different, not connected, or existing as a distinct or independent entity.
2. To disjoin, withdraw, or come apart from.
Can entities separate from God (excluding angelic beings and spirits of the dead), help us?
This could mean:
1. Can entities, which are different to God (such as demons, or other entities {which are different to God or independent of God}) help us?
2. Can entities, which are God, then become their own independent beings, help us?
If possible please explore or answer both.

1. Yes, definitely entities can separate from God to help us. (Perfect term by the way, do you read Cayce or are you LDS?) Many people believe today that everyone does have a "guardian angel" but not in the angel sense... more like someone that slowly guides you toward the right path. That is why you do need to be open minded or in tune with the "holy spirit" so you can hear the advice they give. It won't be some godly voice, it will be a gut instinct or deja-vu feeling.
2. I do not think that demonic forces can help us in ANY way. It may initially seem that they are helping advance our technology, knowledge, etc... but if they are demonic than they are purely selfish and only have their own salvation in mind.
3. You bring up an interesting point with this question... one i've never considered. I guess my first thought is there are no neutral... maybe the spirits that are "helping" us are not all-knowing, but do have a certain amount of advanced knowledge than us. If so, I don't know how we would tell if they were to help us or harm us; maybe you would have to meditate or really put your own thought into making the decision.

No spirit (incarnated or not) can separate from God and there is no such a thing as demons. However, there are certain spirits in a low level of enlightenment that keep themselves apart from God due to their material passions, vices, attachments to things and people, ignorance, revenge feelings, hate, etc. Those spirits will have to be born over and over again, until they also progress spiritually.
My religion is Spiritism.
Peace!

"Help", how so? I assume you mean something more than just stopping by a stranded motorist and helping change a flat?
I believe that there are beings out there (gods as well as not) who are willing to help out humanity, either out of benevolence, or through trade.
I don't believe in demons, per se, but there are hostile forces out there, and, in the past, those have been forced to assist after being defeated (such as Bres giving up the secrets of agriculture).
And I believe there's neutral beings, ones that would rather simply not be bothered by us. As to figuring out their intent? Same as anyone else - be wary but polite until their actions reveal themselves.

Explaining the Trinity is extremely complicated thinking our expertise is constrained, yet to God it does make experience. that's the only occasion that could only right clarify it and quite poor for my area. there is one guy, yet he's 3 persons. the guy is a father, a son and a husband. he's a father because of fact he has a son. he's a son because of fact he has a son, and he's a husband because of fact he has a spouse. nonetheless one guy, yet 3 different persons. Now on the subject of God, please know it incredibly is a few distance extra complicated that we will not in any respect completely understand. God isn't constrained like we are, so it incredibly is obtainable for Jesus to be God together as God continues to be in heaven all on the comparable time. I attempt to no longer think of roughly it too lots in any different case my recommendations will start to break. this will not be the respond you have been searching for, yet i wish it facilitates. God bless you too.

If a demon gives, I assure you, he gives to take...and that you should be afraid of. Fear the Lord and run away from demons.
