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

[Grailhunter]

Indeed, in one of the most ironic role reversals of all time, the overwhelming majority of what passes for Christianity is now manifesting the role of the Pharisees - in that they are refusing to hear the truth that is being told them concerning the Lord's plan for the last days and their immediate future.

As literally thousands of denominational corporations vie for commercial survival utilizing every doctrinal weapon they have to sustain their perceived standing, the truth militates against them. The convoluted mess that organized religion has become is evocative of the ominous verse that speaks of "multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision, for the day of the Lord is near in the valley of decision" (Joel 3:14).

The Remnant of Israel is just that: a remnant of believers that have followed the LORD's program even as he "confirm[ed] the covenant with many" (Daniel 9:27) just as he was prophesied to do. The Apostle Paul provided a second witness of Christ's epic accomplishment that "the covenant that was confirmed before by God in Christ..." was indeed fulfilled - thus re-affirming the promises that God made to Israel.

Yet "they are not all Israel which are of Israel" (Romans 9:6). Those that have followed God into the truth of salvation in his only begotten son Jesus Christ are no longer Jews or Gentiles - they are now the sons of God. Those sons are not in a separate construct called the "church" or the "bride" or some other term lifted out of the context of scripture. They are the Remnant of Israel - a spiritual body of believers that "doeth truth [and] cometh to the light, that his deeds may be manifest, that they are wrought in God." (John 3:21).

Ephesians tells us "all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light; for whatsoever doth make manifest is light." (Ephesians 5:13) This profound truth is plainly telling the reader that it is the increasing of the light, manifested in a vessel of honour, that is the catalyst for the spiritual clash that is steadily increasing in severity.

The incredible truth here is that "the sons of God" are seen "in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world...." (Philippians 2:15) As that light shines into the darkness, the darkness comprehends it not; and as the world continues to deteriorate into evil, the "sons of God" continue the process of the externalization of the powerful Spirit of God that is growing in us.

Writing early in the first century, the Apostle Paul brings the study full circle in the book of Romans. In a futurist context, we learn that "the whole creation groaneth and travaileth together in pain until now" (Romans 8:22). This verse poignantly speaks of how all aspects of creation are under the same curse of sin.

Paul also articulates the great hope that at some point this physical bondage will be destroyed. He tells us that before that release occurs, "the earnest expectation of the creature [creation] waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God" (Romans 8:19). This statement is pointing to a time when the "sons of God" will lead the entire creation to a state of release from the spiritual decay that presently plagues the world. This "manifestation" will only occur in its fullness when Jesus Christ returns.

The Preterist pretenders would say this has already occurred, yet it is clear the creation is still in an abominable condition. The Rapturists would say this "manifestation" occurs at the so-called "rapture" - but their twisted version still has a world that "groaneth and travaileth" in the tribulation after they've managed their unscriptural evacuation.

The truth is very straightforward, and in the end times it will occur very much like it did in the time of Christ. As Jesus Christ confronted the corrupted priesthood, they became defensive of their position and standing, and progressively increased their opposition to him. The same thing occurred in the lives of the Apostles as the power of God increased exponentially in the face of the opposition they encountered. Remember, "that which maketh manifest is light." The first century Christians ended up ministering outside of the "church" and, as they began to move supernaturally, and they loved not their lives unto the death.

The Tribulation Saints will do the same. As the Spirit of God grows in us, the darkness reacts to it. It is the light which causes the darkness to manifest itself - even when the vessel that hosts it is posing as a minister of righteousness. The wickedness in Christianity Incorporated will be exposed for all to see.

Believing themselves to be in favor with God, the "Christian" leadership is already manifesting which spirit actually empowers them. That spirit will ultimately drive the corporate church to work within the prevailing political order to facilitate the destruction of those that tell the truth.

As the world deteriorates to unheard of levels of spiritual desolation, the power that works in Jesus Christ as the head of the church will be manifested in the lives of the Remnant, and the world will hate us for it. But Jesus Christ sustains us when he says "In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world." (John 16:33).

The phrase "sons of God" appears in different places in the Old and New Testament and means different things.

1. The phase "sons of God" is never identified as angels. And if it did, it would mean that angels can impregnate women. And we should note that these sons of God did not just have casual sex with the women but married them. But the scriptures do not tell us what happened after that. And most Christians think these sons of God were evil and sinned when they mated with these women. But the scriptures do not say that Yahweh condemned these marriages. And Yahweh pretty much did the same thing in the New Testament when He impregnated Miriam and she was betrothed. Except He did not marry her.

The assumptions that the sons of God sinned when they mated with these women is mostly fueled by Christianity's negative view of sex and anytime it happens it is evil.....another thing that fuel the Original Sin doctrine.

The rest of the time when the phrase son(s) of God is used, it is in a positive context in relationship with God.

 

[Spiritual Israelite]

Because Scripture tells us the angels of God are His ministering spirits sent to minister to heirs of salvation. And it also tells us that Satan was never an angel of God who disobeyed God and became Satan. Because we read that at the beginning of creation Satan is a liar and murderer. No indication that he was ever a good angel of God. The serpent, a symbol of Satan, proves by deceiving Eve that he is indeed a liar and murderer from the beginning of creation just as John has written.

So, is it your view that Satan and demons/devils were created at the same time that the angels were created, which you previously indicated was at some point during the six days of creation? If so, then I assume that would mean the reason that you can't see Satan as having been created very good along with everything else that God created and then later rebelling is because he wouldn't have had the time to rebel against God before he started to lie to people and murder them? Is that an accurate assessment of what you believe?

I am not so sure that God created the angels some time during the six days of the creation of the heavens and the earth and I'll explain why.

If you look at the text here I want you to notice something...

Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. 3 Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light. 4 And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. So the evening and the morning were the first day.

There is no mention here of the creation of the third heaven/paradise where God dwells with His angels and the souls of the dead in Christ. And there's no mention of the creation of the third heaven/paradise anywhere else in Genesis 1 or 2, either. Genesis 1 mentions the heavens, but, based on Paul's revelation that there is a third heaven in 2 Corinthians 12:2, there means there are three heavens. Genesis 1 talks about the firmament that had waters above and below it, but that's talking about the sky we see above us in our atmosphere. That's talking about the first heaven. And then later it talks about the creation of the stars and such as well which would be a reference to the second heaven, which many believe is a reference to outer space or everything outside of the earth's atmosphere, but not including the third heaven/paradise.

So, with this in mind, isn't it possible that God created the third heaven/paradise where He and His angels have dwelled since the beginning of the heavens (first and second heaven) even before creating the first and second heaven and the earth? I believe so.

Another way to look at this is that the six days of creation are literal days. It's referring to literal time as we know it with day and night and morning and evening. Does time exist like that in the third heaven/paradise where angels dwell? I don't believe so. There may be a sense of time there, but I don't believe it's the same as we understand and experience time. So, I don't think that the six days of creation refer to the creation of the third heaven/paradise and to the creation of angels since it exists outside of time as we know it in terms of there being days that are divided between night and day and evening and morning. When it talks about time in Genesis 1, it's only in relation to how time is experienced on the earth. So, because of that, I see it as being possible that angels were created even before the six days of the creation of the first and second heaven and the earth during the six days.

So, with all that said, if the angels were created even before the six days of the creation of the heavens and the earth then that would mean there was time for angels to have rebelled against God before the creation of man. And it would provide a reasonable explanation for what is written in Job 38:4-7 as well because the text indicates that the morning stars and sons of God were there with God at the time He was creating the earth.

This is something worth taking into consideration. If you disagree with what I'm saying and believe that the third heaven/paradise was created within the six days that were divided into day and night and evening and morning, then please show where that is indicated. If you agree that the creation of the third heaven/paradise is not specifically referenced in Genesis 1 in relation to the six days, then it's worth considering when was it created and, if it was created before the six days outside of the realm of time that we know on earth, wouldn't that mean the angels were created before that as well since they dwell in the third heaven/paradise?

...too many falsehoods that have been exposed previously, with scripture, to rehash yet again here.

The New Testament boldly refers to the great "manner of love the father has given unto us, that we should be called the sons of God." (I John 3:1) While the emphasis is on God's love, the text pointedly tells us that, as a result of the New Covenant, it is the Christians that are now to be considered "the sons of God."

You don't believe the New Covenant according to promise was ordained from before the foundation of the earth and includes the sons of God of faith from the Old Covenant body? That is the remnant according to election of grace. Are saints of old not sons of God because they were not called Christians? The Old Covenant faithful saints who are sons of God believed in the Messiah who was ordained and foretold would come to redeem them. They learned of Him through the Law, which pointed to Christ, and the prophets who foretell of His coming. They believed according to grace through faith in the same way we who live after the cross and resurrection also do.

The Old Covenant body heard the gospel preached, the same as we who live after the cross do. Those who heard and believed are sons of God together with New Covenant Christian sons of God. The Spirit of Christ after Pentecost came to be within Christians, but the Spirit has always been with those who believe from Old.

Just as the faithful saints of Old are of the Seed (Christ) of Abraham, and heirs according to promise, so too we Christian sons/daughters of God are also of Abraham's Seed, heirs with those of Old according to promise.

Galatians 3:6-7 (KJV) Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness. Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.

Galatians 3:8-9 (KJV) And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed. So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.

Galatians 3:26-29 (KJV) For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

John 1:12 (KJV) But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:

Romans 8:14 (KJV) For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

John 14:17 (KJV) Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

It is self evident that these fallen angels have forfeited the privilege of being referred to as the sons of God.

You have not proven from the Bible, nor can you that there are or has ever been fallen angels of God. Read Heb 1 where we find angels of God are ministering spirits sent to minister to heirs of salvation.

Yet again, you post opinion and tangential verses that have little to do with the gist. Selah.

It's a shame to witness professed believers being provocative simply because A.I. threw them an ostensibly legitimate bone. Their irresponsibility is amazing. They seek nothing more than an audience to fly their prideful and divisive cause célèbre flag.

Meanwhile, for those who want on-point scriptures, read on re: demons and fallen angels.

Demons are given a number of names in Scripture. First, Old Testament names; and secondly, New Testament names.

The Old Testament Names
There are a total of twelve Old Testament names used concerning demons.

Firstly, they are called the angels of evil (Ps. 78:49) because that is what they are. The word angel means “messenger,” and these are
messengers of Satan, who is called “the Evil One.”

Secondly, they are called the sons of God. Whenever that expression is used in the Old Testament, it always refers to angels. Sometimes it
refers to good angels, but it can also refer to evil angels or demons (Gen. 6:2, 4).

A third Old Testament name is shedim, a Hebrew word that means “to rule” or “to be lord.” It is used of demons in Deuteronomy 32:17 and
Psalm 106:37. This name emphasizes a demon's desire to be lord over or to rule over a person, either from the inside, by dwelling within him or by controlling him and his activities from the outside.

The fourth Old Testament name is seirim, which refers to demons who have the form of a goat. As will be seen later, demons have animal-like features. Some have the form of a goat, and these are known as seirim. It is no accident that satanic groups often use the symbol of the head of a goat. This name is used of demons in the Hebrew text in Leviticus 17:7; II Chronicles 11:15; Isaiah 13:21; 34:14.

The fifth Old Testament name is lilit, a Hebrew word that refers to a night demon or “demons of the night.” It is used of demons in the
Hebrew text of Isaiah 34:14.

A sixth Old Testament name is evil spirit (I Sam. 16:14-16, 23-24; 18:10; 19:9), emphasizing what a demon is by nature. A demon is a
spirit being, but it is an evil spirit being; one that has fallen.

A seventh Old Testament name is lying spirit (I Kg. 22:21-22), a term that characterizes what demons are: they are liars; they are
characterized by falsehood.

The eighth Old Testament name is a familiar spirit (Deut. 18:11; Is. 8:19; 19:3). This is used of demons who are involved with witches,
spiritualists, and things of that nature. Demons that reveal themselves through mediums, wizards, and witches are familiar spirits.

A ninth Old Testament name is gad, which means “fortune.” This is the demon of fortune mentioned in Isaiah 65:11.

A tenth Old Testament name is meni, which means “fate”; this, too, is found in Isaiah 65:11.

An eleventh Old Testament name is elilim (Ps. 96:5). This is often translated into English as “idols,” but it actually refers to demons of
idolatry. Behind idolatry is the work of demons and those demons who are especially involved in the work of idolatry are called the elelim.

The twelfth Old Testament name is ketev (Ps. 91:6), a Hebrew designation that means “destruction.” It refers to those demons
involved in the work of destruction.

B. The New Testament Names

There are four categories of names found in the New Testament.

1. Names Containing the Same Greek Root
The first category is those names that contain the Greek root for “demon.” The meaning of the root for demon is “intelligence.” Demons are intelligent beings, and the root word for demon is used seventy-nine times in the New Testament.

From this basic root for demon, a total of six different forms developed. The first form is daimon (Mat. 8:31), which means “evil power.” The second form is daimonion. This is the most basic word for demon, and is used a total of sixty-three times. One example is Luke 4:33. A third form of the root is daimoniodes, which means “demoniacal,” and it is used only once (Jas. 3:15). A fourth form is daimonizomai, meaning, “to be controlled by a demon from within.” It is used thirteen times, and one such case is Matthew 4:24. The fifth form is deisidaimonesteros, which means, “to be very reverent to demons.” It emphasizes the occult world and is used only once (Acts 17:22). The sixth form is deisdamonis, which means “demon worship.” It, too, is strongly connected with the occult world and is used only once (Acts 25:19).

2. Names Containing “Spirit”
The second category of names of demons are those that contain the word spirit. The word spirit is used a total of forty-six times in
conjunction with demons, and there are five different names. First is evil spirit (Lk. 7:21; Acts 19:12-16). Secondly is unclean spirit (Mat. 10:1; 12:43; Mk. 1:27; 3:11; 5:13; Acts 5:16; 8:7; Rev. 16:13). Thirdly is wicked spirit (Lk. 11:26). Fourthly is seducing spirits (I Tim. 4:1). The fifth name combines “spirit” and “demon” together as spirits of demons (Rev. 16:14).

3. Angels
A third category of names of demons is angels. The word angel means “messenger,” and demons are referred to as angels because they are
also messengers, Satan's angels (Mat. 25:41; Rev. 12:7-9).

4. Destruction
The fourth category is the name destruction. This is the name of the demon of the abyss, according to Revelation 9:11. His Hebrew name
is Abaddon, and his Greek name is Apollyon. Whether the Hebrew or Greek is used, the meaning is the same: destruction.

Demons and fallen angels are one and the same rather than two separate categories of beings.
That they are the same can be seen in five ways. But before I proceed, we might want to chat up what's been posted so far.

You've had your chance as per simple review of this thread. I'm not here to prove anything to you.

 

[Pierac]

Son of God - This title for Jesus has been given meanings and attributes that were never intended. People have erroneously used the human father-son relationship to describe this title of Jesus’. They have thought that since a human son has the actual essence (made of the same matter) of his father, that therefore, this title implies that Jesus being the Son of God is of the same essence of God. This conclusion will lead you right into the Doctrine of the Trinity. This is the formula they adopted at the Council of Nicaea in 325 AD when they said:

"The Son is of the same substance as the Father."

It was at this council that Jesus was first made God. The Holy Spirit interestingly enough was not included in the formula. It was included fifty-six years later at another council. Let’s see what this title really means:

Son of God - In the Old Testament Israel is described as God’s first-born (Exodus 4:22) and is called His son. There is therefore precedence for calling the Messiah "Son of God" for he is Israel’s representative par excellence (ZEB, vol.4, pg.203-204).

"Son of God" denotes an intimate relationship with the Father. It is obvious that sonship must not be understood in a crude pagan way. This bears out Dalman’s contention that the Hebrew concept of "son" does not denote an extensive circle of relationships" (ZEB, vol.4, pg. 205). Adam was called the "son of God" (Luke 3:38), God calls King Solomon His "son" in 1 Chronicles 28:6.

For Paul, "Son of God" is essentially a Christological description expressing "the Son’s solidarity with God" (ZEB, vol.4, pg.204). Closeness to the Father is the basic meaning of "Son of God"(Ibid). This closeness was a relationship that was shared by God’s anointed kings of Israel. Since Jesus is the ideal king of Israel, he is naturally the ideal Son of God. This is how the term came to be synonymous with Messiah and king of Israel. They are all different ways of saying the same thing.

The Zondervan Pictorial Encyclopedia of the Bible vol. 4 pg. 204 states:

"The last chapter of the first epistle of John makes every possible emphasis upon the principle that Sonship is the mark of Messiahship. The same is the case with the fourth gospel where the Son of God is synonymous with Messiah and occurs more frequently than any other title. Haenchen maintains that the same equation:

Messiah = Son of God = Son of Man

applies to Mark’s gospel. The same can be said of the rest of the New Testament."

Aspects of Monotheism pg.90 states:

"The notion that the Davidic king was the son of God is well established in the Hebrew Bible in 2 Samuel 7:14 and in Psalm 2:7. It was only natural then that the coming messianic king should also be regarded as the Son of God. To say that the king was the son of God, however, does not necessarily imply divinization."

This is the meaning of the title "Son of God." Messiah = Son of God = king of Israel = Son of Man. The Messiah does have the closest and most intimate relationship with the Father. Let’s take a look at some verses to confirm this.

"The kings of the earth rise up, and the princes conspire together against the LORD and His anointed (Messiah)"… "I myself have set up my king on Zion (Israel)"… "The LORD said to me, "You are my son" (Psalm 2:2,6-7).

Here we see God speaking of the Messiah using all three titles; Messiah, king of Zion, and son.

"He first found his own brother and told him, "We have found the Messiah"…"Rabbi, you are the Son of God: you are the King of Israel" (John 1:41& 49).

John cannot be clearer on this title; the Son of God is the King of Israel. This is the Jewish meaning of "Son of God." Any other definition will take away from the true meaning of the title into something that was never intended by its Jewish author.
