That is a good question and one I was hoping to answer today in a
different way. Keep in mind I'm glad that you continue to post to me
but you have a troubled spirit Mark and while I'd like to help you
identify it, until you answer my previous question honestly, I can't
speak to you directly.
Joh 7:43 So a division* came about among the people because of Him.
*schisma
skhis'-mah
From G4977; a split or gap (=E2=80=9Cschism=E2=80=9D), literally or fi=
guratively: -
division, rent, schism.
Schism
SCHISM, n. 1. In a general sense, division or separation; but
appropriately, a division or separation in a church or denomination of=
christians, occasioned by diversity of opinions; breach of unity among=
people of the same religious faith.
A better question is to identify what is a demon.
Act 5:3 But K=C4=95pha said, =E2=80=9CHananyah, why has Satan filled y=
our heart to
lie to the Set-apart Spirit and keep back from the price of the land
for yourself?
A demon is a spirit that lies to us just as in this example from Acts
5. Hananyah was demonically possessed. A demon comes to create
division amongst us. Here is a fact, we are all descendants of Adam
and Eve and so we are all brothers. Yes, Mr. Tindall, even you are my=
brother and while you may not identify yourself as such because of our=
different beliefs, I have no reason to think any less of you. I'm sure=
you'll continue to try but even your evil prayers are of no effect to
me.
Luk 21:10 Then He said to them, =E2=80=9CNation shall rise against nat=
ion, and
reign against reign.
One of the greatest demons that has possessed the world with a spirit
of a lie is the one I call, "Brother P" and it is the spirit of
labeling people for the sake of creating division. You call me a
"Yank" but really thats just a label you use to hide your fears and
the demon that hides in you.
Mat 18:20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name,
there am I in the midst of them.
Other labels people use and there are many.. and they are all equally
wrong don't just include nationality but race, religion and political
labels. They are all schisms to create division amongst us and this in=
fact denies us our true power of working together as brother and
sisters. The demons want to create and will create schisms to pick us
off one at a time, to divide and conquer.
Luk 12:52 For from henceforth there shall be five in one house
divided, three against two, and two against three.
We know this demon is going to grow in power because of the prophesies=
by the Messiah but in the aspect of spiritual warfare, we can identify=
this spirit and remove it from our midst with prayer and fasting.
Shalom,
Snow

Over the ages, it was common belief that evil spirits were either the
fallen angels or the spirits of dead wicked men. They were both.
Some of these demons/devils received worship as 'other gods'.
Deut. 32:17 says, =E2=80=9CThey sacrificed unto devils, not to God; to g=
ods
whom they knew not, to new gods that came newly up, whom your fathers
feared not.=E2=80=9D
The word here translated =E2=80=98devils=E2=80=99 =E2=80=93 Heb. 7700 =
=E2=80=93 =E2=80=98shade=E2=80=99 =E2=80=93 means =E2=80=9Ca
daemon (as malignant)=E2=80=9D.
Webster's New World Third Coll. Dictionary defines =E2=80=98demon=E2=80=
=99 as
meaning: 1.) DAEMON - senses 1 & 2 [see below]. 2. ) a devil; evil
spirit. 3.) a person or thing regarded as evil, cruel, etc. 4.a.) a
person who has great energy or skill. b.) an enthusiast or devotee.
Webster=E2=80=99s New World Third Coll. Dictionary defines =E2=80=98daem=
on=E2=80=99 as
meaning: 1.) Greek mythology =E2=80=93 any of the secondary divinities
ranking between the gods and men. 2.) a guardian spirit, inspiring or
inner spirit. 3.) DEMON - sense 2 [=E2=80=9Ca devil; evil spirit=E2=80=
=9D =E2=80=93 see
above].
Demon can be used in a good or bad sense, depending upon the religious
basis. The pagan Greeks considered daemons/demons as good or divine
intermediaries between their =E2=80=98gods=E2=80=99 and men, but the Scr=
iptures
identify them as evil and as the =E2=80=98other gods=E2=80=99 of the pag=
ans.
Deut. 32:17 equates them with =E2=80=98other gods=E2=80=99 (=E2=80=98god=
s=E2=80=99 other than the LORD
God) to whom the pagans offered sacrificial worship. Therefore, a
demon as an =E2=80=9Cinner spirit=E2=80=9D would represent demon possess=
ion
biblically.
Lev. 17:7 says, =E2=80=9CAnd they shall no more offer their sacrifices u=
nto
devils, after whom they have gone a whoring=E2=80=9D.
The same word translated =E2=80=9Cdevils=E2=80=9D in Lev. 17:7 is transl=
ated =E2=80=9Csatyr=E2=80=9D
in Isaiah 34:14, which says, =E2=80=9CThe wild beasts of the desert shal=
l also
meet with the wild beasts of the island, and the satyr shall cry to
his fellow; the screech owl also shall rest there, and find for
herself a place of rest=E2=80=9D.

..e. a spirit/
devil] and =E2=80=9Cany object of fear or dread=E2=80=9D.
The word translated =E2=80=9Cdevils=E2=80=9D in Lev. 17:7 and =E2=80=9Cs=
atyr=E2=80=9D in Isa. 34:14 is
analogous to a Roman deity. The word =E2=80=98devils=E2=80=99 and =E2=80=
=98satyr=E2=80=99 =E2=80=93 Heb. 8163

Heb. 8175 =E2=80=93 meaning =E2=80=9Ca primitive root; to storm; by impl=

A =E2=80=98faun=E2=80=99 is defined by Webster=E2=80=99s New World Third=
Coll. Dictionary as
=E2=80=9Cany of a class of minor Roman deities, usually represented as h=

Snow,
So you believe that evil spirits are the fallen angels and/or the
spirits of dead wicked men?
It is sort of ironic that people believe demons/devils are so *weird*,
when they're no weirder than human beings, disembodied though they may
be.
