Do you believe in demons?
81522
I would have to say "Yes"\n\nAnd one question I pose to you is what belief do you have or what 'religion' do you take part in?\n\nI believe in God, Angels, the Devil, and Demons...\n\nOne thing to realize though is that God is the highest of all authorities, and the hierarchy of this would be\n\n1. God\n2. Angels / Satan (because he was actually a fallen angel that wanted to be a god himself and with him he took 1/3 of heaven's angels with him to 'Hell')\n3. then demons, which are in essence fallen angels under the rule of Satan himself.\n\nThe most important thing is to believe that God really does have control and He gives us as humans the free will and choice to decide what we will do.\n\nI hope this helps in some way.

If you believe in demons then you should believe in demon possession.\n\nHowever, i am sure that not alll 'so-called' possessions are actually that.\n\nThe Roman Catholic Church actually has groups of people that study cases, they very rarely find what they calssify as case of demon possession, more often than not it turns our to be schizophrenia or some other such psycological disorder.

I am not Catholic but I do believe that there is a demonic possession, and have seen first hand the work of demons, which is why I stay as close to my faith as I can, and totally believe in the power of prayer against these things.

Demons are just created by the human imagination. They are a combination of a person's fears, what they've seen on TV and things they've heard.

are there people who think like this? yes\n\ndo they know what they are doing?   no\n\nif they are fooling with any kind of "dead" thing, it is probably a demonic spirit taking them for a ride.

Demonic possession is extremely rare.  Most cases of assumed possession is really severe mental disorders, or self hypnosis.  That is why (if you are catholic) if you say someone is possessed they send out a priest to perform tests and to see if the afflicted meet certain criteria for possession.  There must be very specific happenings and unexplained occurences that are dictated by the Catholic Church.  \n\nPersonally I do not believe in Demons or the Devil or their existance, they do not exist in my religion.  So if someone is "possessed" in my religion then it is a case of bad karma and unbalanced energies.

yes I do the same\n\nmy "opinion" is that Satan sends his Demons, aka Aliens, to get descieved that there is other life form out there, thus discrediting the Bible, which Satan loves to try and do

as a spiritualist who believe in spirit communication , you can imagine the amount of misconeptions there are abotu my beliefs\n\nthe main ones are that we are in communication with demons...\nthis is so far from the truth ... spirit are beautiful and bring people closer to God ( i would not understand what demons would get out of doing that if it were them )\npeople also believe we do seances or call spirit in some way and that we are disturbing them .... we never call spirit , we open to spirit and if spirit wish to come they will .... that is why no one should promise a specific spirit\nthere are so many that this is just the tip of the iceberg with misconceptions\nbut i am always thankful of the opportunity to speak up about them \nthank you xx

I beleive in the unseen. Have your ever heard of the Holy Ghost, Holy Spirit, Spirit of God. There a supernatural forces that govern our very natural realm. God is very real, so is the Devil. Than there are angels, and demons. \nI found out by reading my bible and becoming a born again christian. Read the gospel of John if you are intersted.

I have in the past, and I have known others that have had various experiences with demons.  I don't understand the connection, but it has been my experience (both in my own life, and from discussing with others), that this has occured most often when sexual sin was rampant.

There are no such things as ghosts for the Bible tells us that the dead cannot hear, see, or feel anything--"Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest." Ecclesiastes 9:10\n"His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish." Psalm 146:4\nSatan and his demons like to scare people. Sometimes they pretend to be people who have died. They may even imitate voices of those who have died. In this way the demons fool many into believing that dead people are alive and can talk with the living. Yes, the demons cause many people to believe in ghosts.\nThe Bible warns that Satan and his demons are intent on misleading mankind. They take advantage of mankind’s despair and hopelessness to offer attractive, but false, solutions. (2 Corinthians 11:14) Hence, the Bible warning: “In later periods of time some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to misleading inspired utterances and teachings of demons.”—1 Timothy 4:1.\nChristians need to listen to what the Bible really teaches about the dead. If they do, then they will not believe in ghosts, but will realize just how powerful Satan is in his quest to deceive us.

I have not encountered in real life. But since childhood I have been haunted by demons in my dreams. I had to fight with them whole night. Those dreams were so horrifying that even most scarest movie will look like comedy. those dreams were so real that I used to sweat. I with all my efforts could not get rid of them. Then one fine day I met a muslim mullah. He visited my house and told me that there were demons in the house. I told him about my dreams. he gave holy water to be sprinkeled in the house. when I started doing this, after 20 days, I had a dream a very beautiful and sexy lady demon came to me and said why do you want us to leave I can be all yours if you allw us to stay. I said no thank you though with much difficulty as she was damn beautiful. Her skin colour was bluish. After that the dreams stopped. Never came. Many times I tried that I had those dreams but they never came.

I have to agree that you answered that question very well and I gave you a thumbs up by the way since i was there. I do believe in demons and have encountered them in my life, BUT!!! people blame "demons" for everything. The sleep disorder you mentioned is very real indeed because I have experienced it before and know of others who have also. The studies have been done, and the evidence documented that proves this. This does not disprove that demons exist, but it does prove that there are DEFINATELY other eplanations for things in this life beside demons. Great question and great answer you gave by the way! Peace.

Most likely.  I have felt the same...before I was born again I didn't know what it was that was affecting me.  Now I do.  People who are not born again can actually have demons in them, not merely afflicting them.
