Demons
In the Bible, demons are generally understood as malevolent spiritual beings that oppose God and seek to harm humanity. The term "demon" is derived from the Greek word "daimonion," which refers to a spirit or lesser deity. In the New Testament, demons are often depicted as fallen angels or spirits that have been cast out of heaven and now work to lead people away from God (Matthew 12:24-26; Revelation 12:7-9). They are frequently associated with possession, affliction, and deception, as seen in accounts of Jesus casting out demons from individuals, such as in Mark 5:1-20 where He encounters the Gerasene demoniac.In the Old Testament, the concept of demons is less explicitly defined, but references to "evil spirits" or "unclean spirits" suggest a similar understanding (1 Samuel 16:14; Leviticus 17:7). The Hebrew term "shedim" refers to these spirits, often associated with pagan worship and idolatry (Deuteronomy 32:17). Overall, demons in the biblical narrative are portrayed as agents of chaos and sin, opposing the will of God and leading individuals into spiritual darkness.
