Bible Question:
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! |
Bible Answer: 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 |
