1 | Do demons still exist? | Matt 8:16 | Hank | 4487 | ||
Are demons and being demon-possessed phenomena peculiar to Bible times, or do the Scriptures support the idea that demons are around still and possess people? Furthermore, does the Bible give any clue about the origin and characteristics of demons? | ||||||
2 | Do demons still exist? | Matt 8:16 | WTE | 4498 | ||
Yes, Satan and demons are still around and do in fact exist and can posess people. What are demons? They are fallen angels, created beings, that left Heaven with Satan as seen in Rev. 12:4; Isa. 14:12-14; Eze. 28:12-17; Rev. 20. During the future tribulation period, Satan a fallen angel will possesses the Anti-Christ. | ||||||

4 | Demon possessed now? | Matt 8:16 | Brent Douglass | 4547 | ||
This seems an odd question, Hank, but I'm sure there must be something behind it. The reverse seems a more logical question. Is there anything in Scripture clearly indicating that demon possession was ended at some specific time in the past? If not, then such possession -- which was present from the time of Satan possessing the serpent and continued in the time of Christ and into the ministry of Paul -- would most naturally be assumed to continue until something happens to remove it fully. The onus for evidence lies on the opposite side of the question. Is there any Biblical evidence that demons were removed permanently at some prior time? This is separate from the question of doctrinal abuse in seeing, naming, or challenging demons in every unhappy situation or toward everyone who dares to disagree with any given teacher-exhorcist's strongly held views. Nevertheless, the need for evidence lies more squarely and logically on the shoulders of the one who would claim demon possession to have ceased than the one who claims it to continue as it did for millennia in recorded Biblical history. |

Brent, the question may seem odd; however, there is a reason for my asking it in the way I did. The Scriptures do speak to the issue raised, clearly and unequivocally, but no one has cited them yet. The clue lies in the defining of demons. --Hank | ||||||

Hi forum! I praise the Lord my God for this forum family! I have really grown from the postings of brothers, sisters, and elders! Praise you Father for the forum! This is a reposting of a questioned asked by Hank on 5/3/01. It looks like the question never really got answered. The subject was "Do demons still exist?" Here is the question: "Brent, the question may seem odd; however, there is a reason for my asking it in the way I did. The Scriptures do speak to the issue raised, clearly and unequivocally, but no one has cited them yet. The clue lies in the defining of demons. --Hank" Are there scriptures existing that have not been cited/posted? What are they? Your brother in Christ Jesus our Lord and Savior, Cyclist I will bless the Lord at all times! His praise shall continually be in my mouth! |

Scripture ... 1 Tim 4:1; Rev 9:20, 16:14, 18:2 ... Cyclist, greetings. While these verses may of been cited before, I see them as proof that demons will exist in the latter days. Since they existed in the NT (Mar 1:39, 5:12; Luk 4:41; 1 Cor 10:20-21; Jam 2:19), they would have to leave the earth and return ... which is not logical. Note there are other NT passages. Hope this helps, Searcher |
