devils

[jeremiah1five]

Demonic spirits were causing the mental condition here. The text reads literally, καὶ θεωροῦσιν τὸν δαιμονιζόμενον καθήμενον ἱματισμένον καὶ σωφρονοῦντα. The word used would be transliterated as "demonized," which means the text is stating, "and seeing the one who was demonized sitting, having been clothed, and being of sound mind."

What does the word "demonized" tell you? He went from being demonized to being of sound mind. Jeremiah, even the Greeks understood demons to be more than mere attitudes, and by rejecting early church doctrine in favor of a mere theory, you have developed an opinion that doesn't match with use of the terms or their ancient meanings either. And any break from early church tradition needs to be properly justified or we have no zero basis upon which to judge anything. The Holy Spirit can be a ball of lint. Jesus was actually a hamster who came from Mars. The Devil and Hell are just myths so let's remake Christianity into anything we want to now.


They used the same analogy of believers being the temple of the Holy Spirit, so obviously He wasn't talking about a real Spirit there, it was all figurative and the Holy Spirit is just an attitude.

Jeremiah, your teachings are off-base, unsubstantiated, and throw the entire Christian religion and early church tradition into doubt, on a whole host of issues actually. I don't have time to go any further with you on this, but the effect of what you are doing is to further erode the foundations of Christianity rather than strengthen them, which I cannot condone.

So, it was mental, then.
What part of the mind was affected?

 

[for_his_glory]

Then why did the entire early church believe it up until around 300 A.D.?


Yes. They are described as spirits in scripture. If what is described by the word "spirits" are merely attitudes, then the Holy Spirit is merely an attitude as well, since the exact same term is used.

Angels are essentially “ministering spirits,” (Hebrews 1:14) and do not have physical bodies like humans. Jesus declared that “a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have” (Luke 24:37-39).

The Bible classifies some angels as “elect” (1 Timothy 5:21) or “holy” (Matthew 25:31; Mark 8:38). All angels were created to be holy, enjoying the presence of God (Matthew 18:10) and the beauty of heaven (Mark 13:32).

Other angels oppose God under the leadership of Satan (Isaiah 14:12-20) whom even Satan is a created spirit of God that is why God could never destroy him because a spirit can not die. (Matthew 25:41; 2 Peter 2:4; Jude 1: 6; Ephesians 6:12). We often call these types of angels demons for which an everlasting fire is prepared by God for these angels.

 

[for_his_glory]

Mark 5:1-20 is the definitive passage on demon possession and its effects in the Bible. Some of the details about demons the Bible reveals in this passage are:

1. Devils want to be near dead human bodies or tombs (vs. 2, 3, 5).
2. They can cause unusual strength (vs. 3-4).
3. They can make a person unreasonable or immune to sensible persuasion (vs. 4).
4. They cause excessive crying (vs. 5).
5. They cause sadistic and masochistic behavior (vs. 5).
6. They have an affinity for heights (vs. 5).
7. They recognize Christ as "the Son of God" and appeal to Him (vs. 6-7).
8. They know they deserve torment and dread it (vs. 6-7).
9. They have names (vs. 9).
10. More than one can possess the same body (vs. 9).
11. They desire to stay in the same geographical region or "country" (vs. 10).
12. They would rather indwell an animal body than none at all (vs. 12).
13. They can cause animals to kill themselves (vs. 13).
14. They desire to be in a body when it dies (vs. 13).
15. They have a desire for water (vs. 13).

Mark 9:17-29 gives us even more details about devils:

16. They can cause dumbness and deafness (vs. 17, 25).
17. They cause rabid animal like behavior (vs. 18).
18. They can indwell from childhood (vs. 21).
19. They cause suicidal behavior (vs. 22).
20. They resist leaving a body and violently "rent" it while leaving (vs. 26).
21. There are different kinds of devils. Some have more power than others (vs. 29).
22. Some can only be removed by prayer and fasting of believer (vs. 29).

Ephesians 6:12 states Satan has a hierarchy of "devils" in his kingdom, "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." Thus some devils have more power and authority than others.

In Daniel 10:13 (as well as Mark 9:29) there is an example of this. "The prince of the kingdom of Persia" withstood the angel sent to explain Daniel's vision to him for 21 days. He could only break free when the angel Michael came and helped him overcome the powerful "prince." The "prince" may have been Satan, but more likely he was a very powerful devil.

Spiritually born again Christians who are indwelled with the Holy Spirit, Romans 8:9-11; 1 Corinthians 3:16; 6:19, could never have a demon possess them, but one can oppress them like that of Paul's thorn in the flesh. The Holy Spirit would not allow a demon to possess the same person He is dwelling in.

1 Peter 1:13-25; 2 Corinthians 5:17-20, God would not allow a demon to enter into one of His own as we are a new creation in Christ covered by His blood. We wage war with Satan and his demons on a daily basis, but not from within ourselves as we are of God and through Christ we have overcome them because greater is He that is in us than he that is in the world, 1 John 4:4.

Ephesians 6:10-20 we put on the full armour of God everyday in order to stand against the evil one and his demons. The believer has overcome the world of demons and nowhere in scripture does it say that one of God's own can be demon possessed.

 

[Hidden In Him]

So, it was mental, then.
What part of the mind was affected?

The whole mind. Demons whisper in the ear. Sometimes they are heard audibly, as with God. They tell men to murder. They whisper to commit suicide. They certainly affect attitudes, and can cause fear, anxiety, hatred, despair, and all the negative attitudes in the book. But to tell people that demons are all locked away and all such thoughts are their own is basically to tell people, "When you hear voices telling you to murder someone, that's all just you," and if they own it instead of fighting it as an outside force, what do you think is likely to happen eventually? If someone doesn't medicate them beyond belief or lock them up so they're not a danger to society, they will eventually act on it because it's just an "attitude" they were born with, and they finally just concede and decide to be "themselves."

You don't believe in free will? Wow your way off. Not even going to bother discussing that. It's common sense. Sorry if that makes you mad, but the whole Bible is free will.

 

[jeremiah1five]

Angels are essentially “ministering spirits,” (Hebrews 1:14) and do not have physical bodies like humans. Jesus declared that “a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have” (Luke 24:37-39).

The Bible classifies some angels as “elect” (1 Timothy 5:21) or “holy” (Matthew 25:31; Mark 8:38). All angels were created to be holy, enjoying the presence of God (Matthew 18:10) and the beauty of heaven (Mark 13:32).

These angels are the elect angels.
They were created sinful just as man was, but the mystery is how they were able not to sin as opposed to the angels that did sin.
With regard to man who was created sinful and did sin because the truth is that anyone who is holy cannot sin as the last Adam proved.
Sin comes from sinners. Sin does not come from holy.
Thus, anything and everyone created outside of God will have to be sinful because Scripture states that there is only ONE God, there is NONE like Him and He gives His glory to NO ONE (Isaiah.)
There is only ONE Person that can stand before a Holy God and that is a Holy Son.

Other angels oppose God under the leadership of Satan (Isaiah 14:12-20) whom even Satan is a created spirit of God that is why God could never destroy him because a spirit can not die. (Matthew 25:41; 2 Peter 2:4; Jude 1: 6; Ephesians 6:12). We often call these types of angels demons for which an everlasting fire is prepared by God for these angels.

Scripture states unequivocally that the angels that sinned are locked up.

4 For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment; 2 Peter 2:4.

How do you account for sin in the world if the angels that sinned are locked up?

 

[jeremiah1five]

The whole mind. Demons whisper in the ear. Sometimes they are heard audibly, as with God. They tell men to murder. They whisper to commit suicide. They certainly affect attitudes, and can cause fear, anxiety, hatred, despair, and all the negative attitudes in the book. But to tell people that demons are all locked away and all such thoughts are their own is basically to tell people, "When you hear voices telling you to murder someone, that's all just you," and if they own it instead of fighting it as an outside force, what do you think is likely to happen eventually? If someone doesn't medicate them beyond belief or lock them up so they're not a danger to society, they will eventually act on it because it's just an "attitude" they were born with, and they finally just concede and decide to be "themselves."

So, if this is true and the motivator of man to sin are "demons" then God would have no justification to judge any man since "the devil made them do it."
You say "the whole mind" but then add an external influence of "demons" that cause man to sin.
You know my position on "demons", and you can't posit that they are from fallen angels or a separate entity themselves because if God locked up the angels that sinned against Him it is unreasonable to say the "demons" that come from fallen angels are loose in the world.
Don't you believe God is Sovereign over all His creation and that there is none like Him as Isaiah says? And if you believe that and angels have free will and can do what they want then they will do what they want, even cause mischief with mankind and God will continually be chasing after them to "fix" or mediate whatever they do just to keep His plan for man on track and come out with what He's ordained as the Second Coming of Christ.
What I am saying is, it comes down to this:
1. Are the angels that sinned locked up [before] the time of Noah, and
2. Do angels - fallen or elect - have free will to do as they please?
3. If angels - fallen or elect - have free will and the angels that sinned hate God and man, don't you think they would do what they can to upset God's plan for man?
4. If angels - fallen or elect - have free will isn't it sin for God to interfere with that free will?

 

[hawkman]

The whole mind. Demons whisper in the ear. Sometimes they are heard audibly, as with God.

Yes , and here is what happen to me jeremiah1five .

One night after an encounter on a forum online with a person that left me wondering if they were a person or a demon . I was sitting in my usual spot outside in the darkness to start my prayer time . I had been there a minute of two when I heard this awful wet snarl over my shoulder . The snarl did not sound like any animal I have ever heard or human . But there was no fear on my part because in the middle of the snarl the Holy Spirit said " That is demonic ." The demon could not touch me but they were NOT happy . Remember this verse .
Job 1:10 Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land.

Please show me the scripture where it says angels, or even man were created evil.

 

[Hidden In Him]

So, if this is true and the motivator of man to sin are "demons" then God would have no justification to judge any man since "the devil made them do it."

No. Demons MAKE no one do anything, They tempt men to do them. You are breaking with Christian tradition again.

1. Are the angels that sinned locked up [before] the time of Noah, and
2. Do angels - fallen or elect - have free will to do as they please?
3. If angels - fallen or elect - have free will and the angels that sinned hate God and man, don't you think they would do what they can to upset God's plan for man?
4. If angels - fallen or elect - have free will isn't it sin for God to interfere with that free will?

Of course to the first three, and no to the last. I think you are so caught up in mental constructs that you aren't thinking with common sense. Think of it this way. Are we sinning when we put laws in place in society, and incriminate some if they go too far in breaking them while allowing others to still roam free? This is what God does with Satan's kingdom. For now, they are still allowed to operate, but they can't MAKE men do anything. They can only tempt men to sin of their own free will. Nor can they do what the angels in Genesis 6 did, which was stepping WAY outside the boundaries He set for what they are allowed to do.

You are making things far more complicated than they are.

Lucifer/Satan and the pride that was found in him when God placed him in the garden of Eden before the creation of man.

Isa 14:12 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!
Isa 14:13 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:
Isa 14:14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
Isa 14:15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.

2 Peter 2:4 For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;

Jude 1:6 And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.

A little background first to show these angels that are in chains of darkness are separate from the third that followed after Satan as they too rebelled against God leaving their first estate that was their proper place in heaven. These chained angels can not be the same angels as the principalities and power of darkness still in high places under the direction of Satan, Ephesians 6:12.

1 Peter 3:18-19 Jesus never went down to hell (lower parts of the earth) to preach as scripture says He went to preach to the spirits in prison. When Jesus laid in the tomb for three days his body was dead, but His spirit was very much alive. In 1 Peter 3:19 it says Jesus being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit went and preached to the spirits in prison. The spirits in prison that Jesus went to preach to are those angels that are reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day. Scripture does not say what Jesus preached to them, but some speculate that He was proclaiming to these fallen angels that Satan had no victory over His death. These angels are separate from the third Satan gathered with him as these angels bound in chains kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day, Jude 1:5-7. These angels were disobedient when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah while the ark was being built, 1 Peter 3:18-19. Big difference between these chained angels and the other ones we read about in Ephesians 6:12. Notice where it says they are reserved in chains meaning they are bound by God and can no longer cause man to sin.

These other angels being a third that oppose God under the leadership of Satan as being his messengers here on earth as they too are created spirits of God that is why God could never destroy any of them because a spirit can not die. (Matthew 25:41; 2 Peter 2:4; Jude 1: 6; Ephesians 6:12). We often call these types of angels demons/devils/evil spirits/unclean spirits for which an everlasting fire is prepared by God for Satan and these angels, Matthew 25:41.

The term demon comes from the Greek "daimon". Demons (fallen angels) are also called evil spirits, unclean spirits and devils in scripture as they are disembodied spirits as angels have no form. The use of the terminology of demons, evil spirits, unclean spirits and devils are interchangeable in scripture as they all mean the same thing. They exist in a demonic realm as principalities, Romans 8:38, 39; Ephesians 6:12, and have a hierarchy of rulership controlled by Satan as being his messengers, Matthew 12:22-30; Mark 3:22; Luke 4:35. They have no physical form, but can viciously posses a body, Matthew 8:16-31; 12:43-45. Demons are numerous in numbering and can also speak like the Legion (2000) of unclean spirits in Mark 5:9.

 

[hawkman]

There are only three spirits in creation the gift of discerning of spirits discerns.
1. the spirit of the angels
2. the spirit of man
3 the Holy Spirit.

You have problems with that .

Matthew 8:16 When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick:

Jesus cast out "the spirits " with his word !

 

[jeremiah1five]

Yes , and here is what happen to me jeremiah1five .

Yes, but you identify "demons" as a real entity but where did they come from?
Angels?
Why would God lock up the angels that sinned but leave their spirit-demons loose on the planet.
I believe what Scripture says that God locked up the angels that sinned and any influence they may exert. I believe in a Sovereign God over His creation and that God controls everything and everyone in order to complete His Plan of Man and everything that is taking place on the earth is strictly from man. All the sin, all the evil, everything.
The angels that sinned are locked up so that leaves man alone with God on the planet (of course, with His good angels, too.)

 

[jeremiah1five]

Please show me the scripture where it says angels, or even man were created evil.

Have we been here before?
I'm a Christian and I believe the Scripture.

6 That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west,
That there is none beside me.
I am the LORD, and there is none else.
7 I form the light, and create darkness:
I make peace, and create evil:
I the LORD do all these things.
Isaiah 45:6–7.

How did God create evil?
By creating a fallen angel(s) and a sinful man. That's the only way God can create them because the Scripture says there is only ONE God, there is NONE like Him, and He gives His glory to NO ONE.

This means that man and angels that sinned were not holy and were created fallen short of the glory of God (or the glory that IS God.)

Sinlessness is the Nature and glory of God.
Man and angels that sinned were not sinless. This means they were sinful and sinned. And sin comes from sinners.
They were not holy and sinned. Sin does not come from holy. The last Adam (Christ) proved this. He was Holy, He was sinless, and He did not sin. Do you know why?
Because sin does not come from holy.

 

[jeremiah1five]

No. Demons MAKE no one do anything, They tempt men to do them. You are breaking with Christian tradition again.

Nor can they do what the angels in Genesis 6 did, which was stepping WAY outside the boundaries He set for what they are allowed to do.

You are making things far more complicated than they are.

I prefer to hold to Scripture:

14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.
James 1:14.

The angels that sinned are locked up and restrained.
You say temptation is external when God says it is internal.
So, who's breaking with the Word of God? Me?
No, not me. I believe God who says temptation is internal, from within the person exempt from any outside influence.

 

[jeremiah1five]

Lucifer/Satan and the pride that was found in him when God placed him in the garden of Eden before the creation of man.

OK. I agree with that and your Scripture below.

Isa 14:12 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!
Isa 14:13 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:
Isa 14:14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
Isa 14:15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.

2 Peter 2:4 For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;

Jude 1:6 And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.

A little background first to show these angels that are in chains of darkness are separate from the third that followed after Satan as they too rebelled against God leaving their first estate that was their proper place in heaven. These chained angels can not be the same angels as the principalities and power of darkness still in high places under the direction of Satan, Ephesians 6:12.

Well, they are. It says "the angels that sinned" meaning all of them.
How can you bifurcate them into two groups when it says "the angels that sinned." Are there angels that were compatriots of Lucifer that didn';t sin and are not locked up. I think God is wiser than that to know the hearts or His creation and know that every angels He created was created fallen short of His glory and everyone would sin against Him but by some mysterious power He's kept two-thirds from sinning. How? Atonement? No. No atonement was offered to angels. So how do you explain two-thirds angels did not sin? They are not sinless because Scripture says there is only ONE God, there is NONE like Him and He gives His glory to NO ONE and sinlessness is His glory.

1 Peter 3:18-19 Jesus never went down to hell (lower parts of the earth) to preach as scripture says He went to preach to the spirits in prison.

Attitudes have no form. But they are powerful. They originate in man.

4 For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be vreserved unto judgment; 2 Peter 2:4.

If the angels that sinned are ALL locked up by God whence the evil in the world?

You are consistently holding to false interpretations of scripture rather than scripture itself, but I knew that when I entered this conversation and that it would likely still be true when I was leaving it.

I'm a Christian and I believe the Scripture.

6 That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west,

They were not holy and sinned. Sin does not come from holy. The last Adam (Christ) proved this. He was Holy, He was sinless, and He did not sin. Do you know why?
Because sin does not come from holy.

I will use Esau for an example as God did not hate Esau, but sore displeased with him in his deception of selling his birthright, Genesis 25. God said He also created evil and this is what fell upon Esau as we read in Malachi 1:2-5.

Isaiah 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.

The word translated "evil" is from a Hebrew word kelalah that means adversary, affliction, calamity, distress and misery. This is what God has created and puts on those who He has cursed for their rebellion against Him so they know "I AM" in all sovereignty, Deuteronomy 27:11-26.

Exodus Chapter 7-11 is a witness of the "Great I AM" and what God brought forth in His affliction, calamity, distress and misery on Pharaoh and the Egyptians.

God gave Pharaoh and the Egyptians a chance to repent and turn back to Him, like He does for everyone, but they rejected God as like Pharaoh hardened his heart against God like so many even today do this.

2Chronicles 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

 

[for_his_glory]

It says God has prepared hell for Lucifer and HIS angels, not for demons, devils, or evil spirits. You're adding to the bible, here.

You need to go learn where demons, devils or evil spirits come from as God did created all the angels to be holy and blameless before Him just as He created man to be holy and blameless before Him. God has never created them evil as I have already shown you, but it's your choice to reject the scriptures I already gave you and to reject the teachings on freewill.

 

[for_his_glory]

Rev 21:9-27 describes the New Jerusalem and just like the heavenly realm of God there is no evil within it, nor will anything evil enter into the gates of the New Jerusalem.

Rev 21:27 And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life.

Joshua 24:14 as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.

Serving the Lord or serving Satan is a freewill choice as in all the choices we make in life whether good or bad ones.
