Angels and Demons
Angels |
Demons |
| Angels are Good Spirits that can manifest themselves in a physical body | Demons are evil Spirits that can inhabit living creatures and influence their behavior and thinking |
| Angels speak words of Truth that bring life | Demons tell lies that lead to death |
| Angels set us free | Demons keep us bound |
| What we believe determines what sort of spirit is in our heart and hence our attitude | Believing a lie affects our spirit / heart and hence our attitude |
| Feelings and attitudes are linked to what we believe | Feelings and attitudes are linked to what we believe |
| A correct belief can set us free and give us appropriate feelings and attitudes | A false belief can keep us bound and give us inappropriate feelings and attitudes |
| Having the right attitude is the result of correct beliefs and a good spirit | Having the wrong attitude is a result of incorrect beliefs and a bad spirit |
| Good spirits and the Holy Spirit are linked to the truth | Evil (bad) spirits / demons are closely linked to lies |
| Good spirits can spread to other people who believe their message | Evil (bad) spirits can spread to other people who believe their message |
| Good spirits sometimes manifest themselves in the form of an Angel | Evil (bad) spirits cannot manifest unless they are living in a creature |
| We can serve an angel's purpose by spreading it's truth | We can serve the demon's purpose by spreading it's lies |
| We can let a demon in by believing a lie and evict an angel by rejecting it's truth | We can cast a demon out by confronting the lie but unless the lie is replaced by the correct belief a good spirit will not come in |
| It is very hard to change what somebody believes if they are not open or do not want to listen | It is very difficult to cast a demon out if the host is not open or not willing to listen |
