Bible references to demons...

Demons in the Bible didn't really look like this. Well, here's a special treat that you won't find in most other realms (although maybe in the Angel Realm when it comes up ^_~). Demons in the Bible. You see, I couldn't find any demon fables, but I did find a lot about demons in response to the Bible, and I couldn't let all that information go to waste, so here's some cool stuff I found:

The word demon originates from the Greek word daimon, which is actually the Greek equivalent of a guardian angel. Those who wrote the New Testament and the Church Fathers gave the word it's modern day meaning of "evil spirits".

Satan was suppose to have a band of demons to aid him in his mission to lead humans away from God. They were said to have been fallen angels who turned away from God and joined Satan.

According to Matthew 15:22 and 15:28, and Luke 4:33-35, demons sometimes possess people, living inside them where they can influence their health and behavior. According to Mark 5:7-13, demons can also possess animals: "Now there was there nigh unto the mountains a great herd of swine feeding. And all the devils besought him, saying, Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them. And forthwith Jesus gave them leave. And the unclean spirits went out, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the sea, (they were about two thousand;) and were choked in the sea."

Here are a list of demons with their sins. They were created by Father Sebastion Michaelis in 1612.

Asmodeus - avarice (a lust or greed for money)
Astaroth - laziness
Balberith - murder
Beelzebub - pride

Third Rank

Well, that's all for now, but I'll be sure to add little interesting tidbits as I find them. Later! ^_~
