Bible Question:
Hi all, Earlier, I asked the question, "Do demons exist today and in what form". The reply I got was the following: ------------------------ I believe demons still exist because there is still a tremendous amount of evil in the world, I believe the demons will still be around until judgement. I believe demons exist in the form of spirits. This is what I believe, hope this helps. Bless you, Love Fountain PS, why do you ask? ---------------------------- But then brings up another question, I thought the evil in the world comes from sin not from demons, so what's correct? P.S. Sorry Love Fountain, I would reply to you directly but I'm new on the forum and I didn't know how to contact you. |
Bible Answer: Dear KamanUCI, Greetings in Jesus' name! Demons are the minions of satan, fallen angels. They are those that heard the master of lies and believed him instead of their Creator, and were cast down for their rebellion. Though they do not have the power to make us sin (the devil made me do it!), they do have the ability to speak the lies of the enemy, distracting us from our path. This distraction or deception is sometimes (sadly) enough to bring out the 'old nature of sin and death' in us, which is the battle that Paul speaks of. The enemy is a liar, and his stooges seem to try to lead us astray with those lies, perhaps to ease their torment? The origins of evil and sin are the first rebellion by lucifer (satan), and his deception of Adam brought this sin to us. Praise be to God that Jesus came to cleanse us from this sin! In Christ Jesus, charis. |
