Am an Eckist and a former Christian.

What should come to your attention is that most things being thought are not factual especially the 'demon' myth.

Actually a 'demon' is for instance your brother, friend etc who died (translated) but feels they still have unfinished business on earth, this could be deep crave for sex, attachment to a wife or husband, money etc. The 'discarnate entity' hangs around places to find a body to use...and be used!

If you find your self 'out there' you will see that there is no such thing as 'Demon', just some folks who couldn't 'pass through' to the proper place, they hang around just above the physical world.

PS: since everything must have a name, it is justifiable to call these entities "demons". But it's important to know the intricacies of what made them what they are...as in, God didn't set out to create some beings known as demons.

Some questions on Those "discarnate entities" hanging around, looking for bodies to use.

1. It means those entities still posses some form of intelligence and consciousness. How is that possible? Biologically we know the brain is the center of consciousness and intelligence so how does those two persist after death?

[b]2.how do they get bodies?[/b]Every adult knows how bodies(individuals) emerge /introduced into this world and each body/individual has a unique identity. So how do they get bodies?

It makes perfect sense to go with what the Bible says in Ecc 9:5 "for the dead know not anything" this is also consistent with modern science

Revelation1:
.Take note; I'm not talking about the fallen angels who were defeated in battle by the Arch angel Michael. I'm talking about demons, witches and wizard. Let's go to the book of Genenis chapter 1 vs 21. And GOD created sea whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abudantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind; and saw that it was good. Let it be known to you that Genesis 1vs21 was making reference to the great sea monster Leviathan or Behometh and other sea creatures. Follow me to the book of Isaiah chapter 27vs1. At that time, the lord will judge Leviathan* the crooked snake. The Lord will use his great sword, his hard and powerful sword, to punish Leviathan, the coiled snake. Leviathan is a great sea monster it can be in form of serpent, whale or crocodile. God created serpent the father of all demons, so does it mean that God was the creator of demons since Leviathan was created by him? Honest answer pls.

Well, op I understand your question... we Christians often times have questions after going through experiences... and I must make one thing clear though... your asking a question should not be based on unbelief... rather it should be based on hunger... for God and the things of the kingdom.. wanting to know how this things work... well...that's the reason why people become atheists... so you must know the basis to which you're asking this questions... these questions are part of the things that makes our journey fascinating... and when we get answers... we still go ahead... stuff! stuff!! stuffs!!!... God Himself is a mystery... the day we understand everything about his existence.. He ceases to be God...
A lot has been said about your question.. wouldn't like to say much.. but...
1. demons are fallen angels... but someone leads them ... the devil. Lucifer.. so they are now like servants.. who carryout the agenda of their master or head..
2. Yes, God knew man would fall.. but still created us.. if you say God should have not left that tree of knowledge there, then what's the essence of Him creating us a free moral beings.. How can you be sure that... what you have is the one you like most ... when the one you have is the only one in existence.... points is.. God would have just made us to obey command if that was the case ...
3. the absence of the Holy spirit.. connotes the presence of demons... man is a spirit being... lemme stop here sha

the wisdom of God is foolishness to men.... not because man is wiser.. but because it takes the spirit of a person to know the thoughts of that person... so it takes the Spirit of God to understand the things of God.. how do you want to understand calculus when you don't even know 1+1... that's just an illustration anyway... So seek God first and the eyes of your understanding will be opened an you'll understand the workings of God....
You have to seek God and you'll find him. God has given us a brain for a reason. You don't just follow a path or religion because you were born into it. Being born into a particular religion does not mean that is the right path. Get a copy of the Quran. Read and ask questions from Islamic scholars and muslim friends and In Sha Allah Allah will guide you. I sincerely invite you to Islam.
Allah says in the Quran:Surah Fussilat verse 33. "And who is better in speech than one who invites to Allah and does righteousness and says, "Indeed, I am of the Muslims".
in surah Nahl verse 125. Allah says; "Invite to the way of your Lord with wisdom and good instruction, and argue with them in a way that is best. Indeed, your Lord is most knowing of who has strayed from His way, and He is most knowing of who is [rightly] guided."
In sirah Nisa verse 82, Allah says: "Then do they not reflect upon the Qur'an? If it had been from [any] other than Allah , they would have found within it much contradiction. " May Allah guide you, and ask the question. why do we have brains? is it to follow blindly ? or to discern truth from falsehood for ourselves . ISLAM!!!

OK! I'm very sorry sir, seems you already have a premeditated answer to the question you asked and any contrary opinion to yours would be deemed inadequate which will invariably become a cyclical movement with no destination.

leviathan is NOT a demon, just like the serpent is not a demon, but used to represent the devil in both passages because of their vicious nature. you will do well to read the book of Job to further reveal the leviathan for what it was- a really dangerous animal

Revelation1:
Why did God created them?


God didn't create them for evil nor to do evil, they only backslided by being corrupted by the Devil, see, SIN started with Lucifer; the highest of all the Angels, when he was too full of himself; as we had heard/read, then he went about corrupting any and everyone/thing that can be weak enough to fall to him,, now if the highest creation of God could believe he is wiser than his creator, why can't a Eve, why can't a beast of the field and sea, why can't a tree, why can't you and i, everything and everyone can fall to sin, God knew this which is the reason why he gave us the oppotunity to ask for forgiveness, abusing this oppotunity is what bring about punishment.

I hope you get it now ?

Happy New year to you grin

For advice try and read the correct line of three Abrahamic religion...which categorically (original holy book of jew,christian and muslims). Maybe u people can be able to do additional and subtraction to get the common answer that giving you problem. But majority of you are fanatics and extremist. Christian among u will never pick up English quran and read while Muslims among u will never read bible at all because of ur blindness....if u do more research abt Jews ; that doesn't stop u going church or mosque,but instead u argue blindly
Re: How Did Demons Come Into Existence? Who Created Them? by WHOcarex: 7:57pm On Jan 01, 2017
Anas09:

Okay then.

Well, first off. God did not create Demons, He created beautiful awesome and exceedingly powerful creatures called Angels.

Their rebellion and proceedings turned them to demons.

Now, for us to understand this, let's see from the Scriptures that God created Angels.

And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire.
Hebrews:1:7

God created Lucifer who became satan/devil/demon, just like he created all other Angels.

Ezekiel 28:13-17 You lived in Eden, the garden of God, and wore gems of every kind: rubies and diamonds;

topaz, beryl, carnelian, and jasper; sapphires, emeralds, and garnets. You had ornaments of gold. They were made for you on the day you were created. I put a terrifying angel there to guard you.

You lived on my holy mountain and walked among sparkling gems.

Your conduct was perfect from the day you were created until you began to do evil. You were busy buying and selling, and this led you to violence and sin.

So I forced you to leave my holy mountain, and the angel who guarded you drove you away from the sparkling gems.

You were proud of being handsome, and your fame made you act like a fool.

Because of this I hurled you to the ground and left you as a warning to other kings.

Here, the Holy Spirit tells us how lucifer was decorated. Above other Angels, in everything, he was decorated.

Beauty, Wisdom, Splendor got into his head and here is what Pride made him do.

How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!

For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:


I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.


Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.
Isaiah:14: 10 -15

When he fell this is how many Angels he took down with him.


Revelation 12:4 With his tail he dragged a third of the stars out of the sky and threw them down to the earth. He stood in front of the woman, in order to eat her child as soon as it was born.

I don't know what "A third" of the Stars (Angels) amounted to, but i know that that's a huge number of Angels he took down with him


Now, when they Fell, did Satan's agenda of being God died? No.

Now, remember, satan is not Omnipresence, meaning he can't be everywhere at the same time, what do you think he did?

He apportioned his demons to act as gods in all the religions of world. He possessed some humans and made them become very cruel to others.

People like, Muhammed of Arabia, Adolf Hitler, Mau SeTung, etc.

Yes, rulership, kingship, dominance is why satan fell from grace, but here man is, a naive creature with a kingdom, so satan deceived him by distracting him, when man fell, he took over the kingdom God created for man and has been ruling man ever since.

Remeber, even God can not operate and function in this material world without a material body, hence he possesses people by the (Holy Spirit). Satan also being a spirit or his demons can not function in this world without a physical body, hence, evil possession.


The body is like a cloth that we wear. The spirits wear our bodies in other to walk in this physical world.

Now, the activities of this Spirits, good or bad, makes them who or what they are.

There's just one Holy Spirit because he is Omnipresence. There are somany demons because they are not. They had to scather themselves everywhere men are found, in order to subdue man under the dominance of Satan.


They possess men and make man do evil to make man responsible and sinful before God, with the the sole aim of taking man to hellfire.

Do you know why he does that?

Satan knows how much God loves man. Hurt man is hurt God deeply. So, he makes man turn against God. Satan knowing how the supernatural laws work, knows that, without willingness and responsibility, it's not possible to lay allegations agaisnt a man, So Satan makes man be willing and respinsible for his actions.


So, yes, Fallen Angels, are demons. Witches are human beings possessed by demons.

And God created All.

hmm... well.. if you think that i'm a Christian now because I was born in a Christian family... that's false... been born into a Christian family only made me closer to the truth... so when I was ready... I searched but didn't have to look far to find it... It's called Divine Orchestration.. and if you've been thinking that going to Church makes one a Christian... well.. lemme tell you... that until you believe that God exists first of all.... you are notable to please Him... so for with the heart man believes unto... righteousness and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.. see.. ROMANS 10vs 10... for you to have believed there's a place for rational thinking... you must have come to terms with what you've been hearing.... you become a Christian when open your mouth based on conviction to accept God... about knowing... I don't just know... I have the experiences to back up that God is real... through the manifestations of the Holy Spirit. present in any fellowship of the body of Christ.... this is practicality... not just studying verses and making analysis... if I tell you that water wets paper and you are doubtful.. then the easiest way is to carry out a practical test for you to see.. so you forget your human analysis when you see the actual result....
What I was saying is... Experience... not analysis or religion.... the Holy Spirit brings us... into an experience...

[quote author=Drdreyy post=52447091] Some questions on Those "discarnate entities" hanging around, looking for bodies to use. 1. It means those entities still posses some form of intelligence and consciousness. How is that possible? Biologically we know the brain is the center of consciousness and intelligence so how does those two persist after death? [\quote].


Hm! Laboratory apparatus where invented to measure...they are only good to very limited extent...

Consciousness resides neither in the brain nor even on the Mind, It's reside in Soul! When we talk of Soul, science and reality or fact have to part ways (but of course). In your body, three things are involved: Soul, Mind and Body.

In the physical body, Soul expresses consciousness in this order: Soul>Mind (mental state)>Causal body>Emotional body>physical body.

Note this: The body and the brain is actually a replica of the Emotional body (Aka Astral body) and it Principles.

When one dies, he retains all his knowledge and abilities...it's the same thing that plays when you drop from a flight or a swing and you still get the feeling of swinging! That's almost how dead people feel, they retain the experience and think they could touch a living person and tell them they are fine...nothing happens--no physical body!

Infact they tend to get smarter than before cos ignorance is mostly brought about by the physical body--the limited 5 senses


[b]2.how do they get bodies?[/b]Every adult knows how bodies(individuals) emerge /introduced into this world and each body/individual has a unique identity. So how do they get bodies? [\quote]

This one is also vast: they don't have to be born. You have heard of "possessed by a demon" before right? Well, soul is the ONLY 'thing' that can occupy same Space with Matter! Two souls can live in same body...check some people and you can tell.

They enter by force or some people strike a bargain with them " inspire me to be rich and enjoy a body"...the latter is the story of 'selling your soul to the devil'. Also black magicians etc do send them on errands. I heard in some part of this country, they found a way to put this entities to use in agriculture cheesy...long story


[quote] It makes perfect sense to go with what the Bible says in Ecc 9:5 "for the dead know not anything" this is also consistent with modern science

You can only be sure of "making perfect sense" when science finally makes out what Soul is else, the mystics have it for now.

Science actually got it, it states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed, but can only be changed from one state to another...that's the kaboom! That's Soul! That's consciousness! It cant be extinguished; it can only change in state, from withing the physical body and without it, it continues on and on...

hardballripplez:


Christianity in no way makes sense. There is no proper understanding of who God is. And before you talk about the Prophet Muhammad(PEACE BE UPON HIM). yOU ought to first read about him from primary sources, not from fox news.

To answer the question because Christians don't have the answers coz they don't know.
God knows everything. He knows that is hidden and what is apparent, He knows what has happened and what will happen and of course, He knows the devil(satan) better than satan himself because it was God who created him. And if you bring up this nonsensical talk of some angels who fell and moved against God, then this means that in fact God is not in control of his creatures and therefore there is a power split between God and the devil, in which case, this means that the Satan has some kind of power. Satan has no power and he has no control whatsoever. he his dependent on God, and God who created him knew the kind of being that he was. why did God create the Satan and the devils? . These creatures were created in order to serve as a test for the human beings. it was God who himself created evil. come to think of it. the christians believe satan was trying to usurp God, and he has his own army. this kind of thinking is wacky and irrational. Satan himself is fearful of God. you Christians should think of it this way: since you guys believe that Satan has some power, what if this Satan defeats your god( i seek refuge with God from this) and his angels coz from calculations more people should go to hell and therefore the satan will have a bigger army. so, what if this satan defeats your god? what would happen to the universe and the creation? will god be imprisoned? have you ever thought about that?
BACK TO WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT, God created evil for a reason. Just as He created good for a reason.

God says in surah al falaq( Quran 113): " Say, I seek refuge in the lord of the daybreak. from the evil of that which He created. from the evil of darkness when it settles. and from the evil of malignant witchcraft. and from the evil of the envier whenever he practices his envy. This gives a succinct explanation, and this is rational.

The devil was able to disobey God because he has free-will unlike the angels. This free will is also what we humans possess. we are given the option to understand and choose between what is good and what is bad, between what is right and what is wrong.
when the devil disobeyed God, then he became a disbeliever, and understanding that all power and sovereignty belongs ONLY to GOD , AND that he the devil was doomed and powerless. Instead of seeking for forgiveness he( Satan) said: (surah Al Hijri, Quran 14)... My Lord! give me respite till the day of judgement( don't kill or destroy me, give me longevity so that i will remain till the day of judgement). in the following verse Allah said to him: " So indeed you are of those reprieved". then the devil said: My lord, because I have falling into error( He won't seek for forgiveness becasue of pride), then surely I will make disobedience attractive to them on earth and I will lead them all astray, except your choosen servants amongst them. then in verse 42, Allah replied him" Indeed, My servants, no authority will you have over them, except those who follow you of the deviators, and indeed hell is the promised place for them all. This was what happened and this is the truth. also, there is a caveat: the devil will only lead astray those who themselves are ready to disobey God.

Contrary to the belief of the Christians that the devil will have a section in the hereafter( hell), where he will punish those who are thrown into hell. This doesn't make any sense, even from rational thinking. The devil was the one who misled people? made them do bad things? he, himself disobeyed God. then he will be the one to punish people again? This is absolute nonsense. The devil himself will be punished in hell and he will be fearful. The devil has no power whatsoever and i really think it would be good if we made use of our thinking faculty and discern truth from falsehood.
May Allah guide to the straight path( ISLAM)!!!!
The Quran has said it all,they can't find answer to it from the bible.May Allah lead us to the straight path

Can u say the same thing of God?

For a body to be successfully created, energy must be installed and the energy installed is enough to do otherwise it's purpose. God created everything perfectly, but as you can see almost all that he created is been modified everyday. Sometimes, I believe we are angels undergoing screening on earth. The bad aids will be screened out while the good ones will go back to work for God. The cars we drive are perfect for movement otherwise, they wont move an inch.

Let it be known to you that Genesis 1vs21 was making reference to the great sea monster Leviathan or Behometh and other sea creatures. Follow me to the book of Isaiah chapter 27vs1.

Leviathan is a great sea monster it can be in form of serpent, whale or crocodile. God created serpent the father of all demons, so does it mean that God was the creator of demons since Leviathan was created by him? Honest answer pls. Kingebukasblog, 4evergod, Wiigrea7, Amalice9, Anas09.

Answer:
Biblically God had been doing a hefty amount of creation before he thought about making man.
For every human, there are billions of Angels.
No one has the full gamut of none human beings- Angels, Archangels, Cherubims, Demons, etc.

However, if you are talking of the most elemental spirits- often called demons, they were born on earth. The story is in the Book of Enoch, not cannonomical to a lot of Christian churches except the Catholics.

After making earth and man, God sent a band of solders to keep watch over the earth. They were called the watchers, the story perspective speaks as if they were looking down on the earth, which is why many postulations exist about the dwellers of the moon.

They are the sons of God who saw the daughters of men and became intoxicated
They made a vow to disobey God together and not betray each other.
Left there duties and came down to the earth, taking human females as wives,
They gave birth to human, spirit hybrids, whom the bible called men of renown. The Greek likes of Hercules, cyclops, Perseus, etc comes to mind although not explicitly mentioned.

These watchers had their offsprings competing against each other, doing great and abominable things.
The watchers revealed many secrets of heaven to their children to give them edge in their self consuming competitions- namely the art of Iron works, Herbs, divination. Basically the truth is that the secrets of heaven are same of those we use. Except heaven is so advanced, that when the Arch angel Micheal stood before Elohim to report the leak or corruption on earth, he told him not to pay any mind to the leaked secrets, since they will always be insignificant.

Further, humans are the children of Elohim, made in his image, with rank and authority a little above that of the angels. Rooting them out of their abode was a crime, but the children of the watchers had taken over, and were even eating men for meat. So Arch Angel Micheal went to the presence of God to get authorisation to do some thing about the watchers.
Elohim commanded him to lock up the watchers on earth for the duration of the earth- bottomless pit of revelation comes to mind
He also commanded him to turn the children of the watchers against each other, so the will kill each other
He commanded him to turn their spirits into evil spirits to torment men, as a purnishment for our role.
That is the source of the elemental spirits, they originated on earth, and will end on earth.

These events are reported as the story of Noah in Genesis
Notice the striking resemblance between the watchers and gods of the Greek mythology.
Sumerian Mythology which is similar actually mentions a certain location in the ancient world where these so called gods ascended and descended from, a spot that men where never allowed in. Proponents today think that was a point from which the watchers transported from earth to their moon base. This story is also the origin of the so called conspiracy theories on the actual purposes of US missions on the moon.

In summary, evil spirits are the corrupted spirits of dead children of so called gods who can down to the earth to take human wives in the days of Noah. However, the distinction between the crimes of Lucifer and those of the watchers is not quite clear. It seems they Lucifer was different from the watchers.

So many have come in contact with the Quran and they had to accept Islam and follow the truth. The human personality is very strange. Because you didn't follow the truth now doesn't mean that you won't follow it later( If truly you are reading the Quran). The bible is composed of historical and scientific fallacies and those who follow the Christian faith do so blindly. May Allah give you guidance In sha Allah.
Hehe... I haven't even read the quran... but from your previous posts.... I don't think I'm interested...
I mean... how can you tell me Good created evil... for a reason... and good never understood that evil represents... deceit, and that, God created demons to test humans...
the fact is you Muslims read the Bible... to find faults... and you'll never see the Truth in it... When the people who crucified Jesus where busy carrying out their agenda... they didn't know they were carrying out Gods' plan... Although they awaited the Messiah.. they knew the prophesies... but then .. they didn't understand... It was hidden, because they've clothed themselves in pride... They thought... if not us then... nobody else...
well I'm not looking for a god to serve.. I've found God... searching would only mean... something else... I've passed that stage

No Muslim. The Holy Book of Muslims and their God is not the same with the God of the Christians with their Holy Book.

I understand everything in my Holy Book because i have the Holy Spirit.

do not mix the two, they are like Oil and water.

If you guys really want to understand the real intentions and imagination of the original Hebrew writers of the Bible, you'll have to examine the minds and contextual terms of the English and Latin translators of the original Hebrew text of the scrolls we have cone to know as the bible. You can never understand the contextual meanings unless you sample the original Hebrew text.
What I mean by this is that the Greek, Latin and subsequently the English translators of the Bible used happenings, objects and references particular to the periods they did the translation to decipher what the original Hebrew writers were trying to depict.
Leviathan for instance would never have been used by the original Hebrew writers of the bible. The King James version of the bible speaks of Leviathan because it is something the English translators of the bible and their English audience would have better understood. What the original Hebrew writers wrote instead if Leviathan, only God knows.

oga move with you Islam to an Islamic thread, no one is interested in your god that is causing chaos all over and rewards killing in his name with virgins. no thanks, keep it to yourself. Bible is composed if fallacies?? You're aa clueless as your drunk Islamic scholars because even your famed prophet Mohammed never dared blaspheme against Christianity. And he accepted Jesus was God's son but you all are just confused and ignorant, no longer killing christians and innocent people over the world. You're now killing each other in God's name. What kind if God will condone such wickedness Sort your confused religion and religious beliefs before talking crap about God's true followers and his only Holy book.

God didn't create them for evil nor to do evil, they only backslided by being corrupted by the Devil, see, SIN started with Lucifer; the highest of all the Angels, when he was too full of himself; as we had heard/read, then he went about corrupting any and everyone/thing that can be weak enough to fall to him,, now if the highest creation of God could believe he is wiser than his creator, why can't a Eve, why can't a beast of the field and sea, why can't a tree, why can't you and i, everything and everyone can fall to sin, God knew this which is the reason why he gave us the oppotunity to ask for forgiveness, abusing this oppotunity is what bring about punishment.

I hope you get it now ?

Happy New year to you grin
He was not the highest creation then.

Out of all the good progressive topics in the world, you people choose to be discussing Satan & demons in this very first day of the year?. Western people are inventing New technologies everyday and they're thinking of how to improve our very existence daily. I sorry for Africa indeed!
