Read 1 Kings 22 and get back to me on how spirits cannot possess or influence people. Even Jesus cast out demons. They are spirits not angels.
Fallen spirits. that fell with Satans rebellion!
Nowhere does it say they are the disemodied souls of humans. For how can a human spirit ascend to heaven and flow to earth if they are lost?
But we have inJob-
Job 1:6
Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan came also among them.
Job 2:1
Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan came also among them to present himself before the Lord.
Job 38:7
When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?
as for demons being fallen?
James 2:19
Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.
