Welcome to the final installment “The Origin of Demons”! We’ve discussed the first, second, and third theories of where demons could possibly come from. See Part I, Part II, and Part III. We also discussed why the Nephilim so hated humanity. In this post, we’ll discuss why the Catholic Church fathers changed the belief that the “sons of God” referenced in Genesis 6:1-4 were not really fallen angels, but something else. We close the series out with a word of wisdom regarding balance in spiritual matters. Enjoy!
Hello friends! We’re continuing with learning about “The Origin of Demons.” In Part I, we dealt with the first theory: that fallen angels and demons are synonymous. In Part II, we dealt with the theory that fallen angels are the disembodied spirits of a pre-Adamic race created, judged, and disembodied between Genesis 1:1 and Genesis 1:2. In this post, we’ll deal with the third theory: that demons are the disembodied spirits of the “Seed of the Serpent.” We’ll also get into why in biblical, historical, and mythological views, the Seed of the Serpent so hated humanity (and hates them still). Let’s dive in!
