    Satan and his demons are real beings/entities (with personalities) not abstract evil within unregenerate man

    No, it's a term "sons of God" as fallen angels consistently read INTO Scripture by those who are still following the doctrine that some theologians believe originated through the teaching of angels from Enoch. His knowledge of angels is believed to be one of the reasons the early church leaders...

    Satan and his demons are real beings/entities (with personalities) not abstract evil within unregenerate man

    The Bible never tells us that Satan was created an angel of God and became evil Satan! Nor does the Bible ever tell us that angels of God became angels of Satan. Angels are ministering spirits sent to minister to heirs of salvation. Devils/demons are also spirits used by Satan to fight...

    Satan and his demons are real beings/entities (with personalities) not abstract evil within unregenerate man

    The proverb addresses the king of Babylon, not a fallen angel some believe became evil Satan. Isaiah 14:4 (KJV) That thou shalt take up this proverb against the king of Babylon, and say, How hath the oppressor ceased! the golden city ceased! Isaiah is speaking this proverb against the king...

    Satan and his demons are real beings/entities (with personalities) not abstract evil within unregenerate man

    Messengers have been translated 'angels', but messengers in these verses do not refer to spirit beings, they are flesh and blood or human messengers, there should be no doubt when we consider the whole context refers to humans not angels.

    Satan and his demons are real beings/entities (with personalities) not abstract evil within unregenerate man

    The KJV is not saying anything different than the NASB. Angels of God are spirits, and spirit defined from πνεῦμα pneûma means a current of air, wind, breath of life (see Gen. 2:7) that is spirit from the breath of God. Spirit of life in fact is described as a rushing mighty wind. Genesis 2:7...

    Satan and his demons are real beings/entities (with personalities) not abstract evil within unregenerate man

    I've already addressed 2 Pe 2:4 & Jude 1:6! The entire chapter in both books is about human beings who were sons of God in the days before and during the flood. The MESSENGERS, which is how angel is defined are NOT angels of God, spirit beings, but HUMAN MESSENGERS of God who did not keep the...

    Satan and his demons are real beings/entities (with personalities) not abstract evil within unregenerate man

    Where? Give the verses that describe fallen angels of God! Since angels of God are ministering spirits, sent to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation, show the verse/verses that tell us that some of the angels of God are fallen through disobedience and become Satan/devils/demons...

    Satan and his demons are real beings/entities (with personalities) not abstract evil within unregenerate man

    The Bible does not speak of fallen angels! That opinion must be read into the Bible because it does not come from the Bible. It was not angels of God that were cast out of heaven by Michael and His angels. It was angels that are demonic spirit messengers of the dragon that were cast down to...

    Satan and his demons are real beings/entities (with personalities) not abstract evil within unregenerate man

    But we don't gain full understanding unless we search the whole council or Word of God, both Old and New Testaments are to be studied together for full enlightenment or understanding. Have you ever considered how the Old Testament concealed is through the New Testament revealed?

    Satan and his demons are real beings/entities (with personalities) not abstract evil within unregenerate man

    How are they spirit beings, but not human? According to the Bible spirit is unseen unless manifested through human flesh.

    Satan and his demons are real beings/entities (with personalities) not abstract evil within unregenerate man

    He certainly possessed a spirit of evil, just as every human in unbelief also does, we are all wicked from birth and of the spirit (liar/deciever/murderer) of evil. Psalm 58:3 (KJV) The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies. Romans...

    Satan and his demons are real beings/entities (with personalities) not abstract evil within unregenerate man

    Angels defined 'messengers' or humans of Old, living in the time of Noah before the flood from the linage of Seth through whom men began to call upon the name of the Lord. The entire chapter of 2 Pe 2 refers not to angels of God who had fallen, but men who knew of God and called upon His name...

    Prove from the Word of God what you allege. Otherwise, I will simply believe this is your opinion without fact!

    Satan and his demons are real beings/entities (with personalities) not abstract evil within unregenerate man

    Yes, we discover Satan is called by many names including serpent as we compare Scripture from both Old and New. Revelation 12:9 (KJV) And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his...

    Satan and his demons are real beings/entities (with personalities) not abstract evil within unregenerate man

    The verse says they presented themselves before the LORD! Nothing about flesh and blood or spirits entering into the court of God. Can you explain how humans and the spirit called Satan together present themselves before the LORD?

    Satan and his demons are real beings/entities (with personalities) not abstract evil within unregenerate man

    Cain proved he was of the spirit of the murderer and liar from the beginning. Yes, it is the spirit he was born with because he was no longer of the Spirit of Christ that created mankind. All of mankind from the fall are born with a spirit of sin from the human womb. No longer the likeness...

    Satan and his demons are real beings/entities (with personalities) not abstract evil within unregenerate man

    Here is an example of how you often troll the forums. TS never said Cain is the devil that is you saying it! He said "Cain, a MAN, with the spirit of disobedience"! That is NOT asserting that Cain is THE DEVIL, that is you changing (trolling) what he actually said. The spirit in ALL of...

    Satan and his demons are real beings/entities (with personalities) not abstract evil within unregenerate man

    The Bible NEVER speaks of angels of God as fallen! That is read into the Bible but cannot be proven FROM the Bible.

    Satan and his demons are real beings/entities (with personalities) not abstract evil within unregenerate man

    Angel is defined - a messenger; especially an "angel"; by implication, a pastor:—angel, messenger. Hebrews 1:7 (KJV) And of the angels (spirit messengers) he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire. Because the Bible has repeatedly translated spirit as "angel"...

    Satan and his demons are real beings/entities (with personalities) not abstract evil within unregenerate man

    Cain was not the devil per se, but of the spirit of the devil which was from the beginning of creation. I believe that darkness that existed at the beginning is metaphor for evil that existed by God's design. Cain is the foremost example of how the spirit God created in man became like the...
