Do demons and angels exist? If they do can people see them?

I believe they do.  Once, I was having a difficult time during lent, and an angel came to comfort me.  His arm was like a sheild, but I didn't see him.  His presence was instant peace.\n\nAnother time, I felt as if a Dire Wolf was in the same room as me, ready to tear me apart.  It was a frightening experience.  I very nearly forgot to breathe!  I could see it infront of me if I closed my eyes.\n\nMaybe I have an over-active imagination, but it seemed to me that it was real.  The presence of these ethereal creatures was tangible, and outside of myself.  It's kind of like walking out into the sunshine from the dim interior of the house.  The atmosphere changes.\n\nPlus, I've read all kinds of stories of how people were saved by guardian angels, or tormented by demons.

According to the Bible, yes, there are "people" on other worlds.  However, also according to the Bible, our world is the only one that has fallen to satan's lure of sin.  As such, the peoples of no other world will visit this world before sin is erradicated and this world is made new, and perfect, once more.  On the other hand, the Bible teaches that satan drew a third of the stars (angels) from Heaven and that satan will perform many wonders in the last days.  Thus, if any perceived "aliens" ever did truly come into the light of day, they would only be satan and his angels masquerading as such.  So, would it weaken my faith to see satan and his angels "in the flesh" (as it were)?  On the contrary, this would strengthen my faith even more to see such further evidence of satan's workings.   ;-)

Yes indeed.  As part of our evolutionary 'toolkit' of survival strategies, we have a highly developed faculty for detecting other entities in our environment - We often notice human faces in carpet patterns, rabbit-shaped clouds and so on.  There is more survival value in seeing what really *is* there, and also seeing some things that *aren't* really there, than in missing things that really are there and going hungry, or worse, ending up as someone else's lunch.\n\nThe consequence of this undeniably true aspect of human nature is that we have a natural tendency to imagine entities behind natural phenomena and events in our own lives that aren't really there - i.e. gods and goddesses, demons, angels, spirits - a whole menagerie of supernatural characters.  Society and culture binds up these characters with our wishes and fears, our desires for dominance and submission and shared identity, and we end up with religious belief and ritual and dogma, in thousands of different flavours, with the vast majority of people broadly following the religion of their upbringing.\n\nReligion is a biological phenomenon, not a supernatural one.

To recollection of things, there is no other realm in which humans exist.  God, Jesus, the Holy Sprit and Angels exist in Heaven.  The devil and his demons roam the Earth after he was ousted from Heaven for his disobedience.  Where he still roams today.  May God Bless

In my opinion it is impossible to teach yourself to see ghosts, you either can or you can't (and I know a couple of people who can, including myself when I was younger, the former owner of my parents house, which he build, doesn't want to leave, and he's a fairly nice old man).  \n\nI will argue that all ghost are not demonic spirits, yes, some are are really, really bad (like the one is my sister's apartment in State College, PA, he stalked my sister's roommate in certain instances, which is how I found out she can see ghosts), but for the most part there is as much a mix of good spirits to malevolent spirits as there are to good people vs. malevolent people. \nNow, you can experience ghosts with out being able to see them.  Before I go any futher I have to say, there is no scientific evidence that either confirms or denies the existence of ghosts, spirits, whatever you want to call them.  Having personal experience with instance that are within keeping of arguements made toward the existence of ghosts (yeah I know that is hard to read, but i can't phrase it much better), I happen to belive in them.  Since ghosts take space they have a subtance, while this substance is generally not visible to the average person, the electromagnatic patterns show up on pictures, including digital cameras.  So, if you think you have a ghost take a bunch of pictures, they will show up as a ball of light, where there is nothing.  However, I wouldn't recommend using a cell phone cam because the resolution of those suck, so distortion for bright lights in the background may interfere with an accurate picture.  See the source for tips to photograph them.\n\nI will agree with the statement that if even if you could learn to see them, you don't want want to.  There is nothing scarier then seeing a pure black spirits (one that is completely evil).  Yes, if you have the ability to see them, most of them are a shade of grey.  The color spectrum is  from pure white (good) to pure black (evil), most of them are a shade of grey, though I never remember seeing a pure white spirit, a couple that were a really light shades of grey, but never white.  Just in case you are wondering, it was around the age of 12-13 that I could no longer see ghosts, though I can stil "sense" most spirits.

No I haven't seen them. We have the Bible to let us know what God wants, how to be saved, how to live the christian life, etc.\n\nThis is a trick of demons. the Bible says Satan can come as a being of light.\n\n2 Cor. 11:14 And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light.

How many of us have seen angels, what type of shapes they do have and how do they keep flying arround etc etc but we all ( most of us) believe in angels.\nMuslims do believe in angels becasue the creator of angel has mentioned in the quran that angels do exist.\nAs far as the quotation is concerend 'that the angel will not enter a house where the dog lives' is right but tell me how do people die becasue the angel of death should not enter the house that means the dog owner must live forever.\nThis quotation refers to the angels of speciifc job for example an angel is assigned to take food and blessings to people will not enter the house but angel of death will definitely enters when the time comes.\nSimilarly there is another quotation of Mohammad (peace be upon him) that angels don't enter the house where there are pictures.\nTherefore the angels deputed to record our good or bad deeds remain with us and do their job and that record will be presented to us at the day of resurrection.

What makes you think angels have wings at all? Think about it, no one has actually seen an angel for real, all we have are pictorial descriptions, artist's renderings of what they THINK an angel looks like.\n\nTo my way of thinking, wings are completely unnecessary. In the Spirit realm, one just thinks of a location, and one is there (this is what quantum mechanics is teaching us). Space and Time are not so relevant. But ancient man had no way of knowing these things. Wings were the only way ancient man had of rationalizing such action.  For an example of ancient man's attempt to explain something unknown that is now known: In the Book of Revelation, it is said that the martyrs who will be killed, will be seen by the entire world for three days. At the time the Bible was written, how could THAT possibly come about??? But with the advent of television, we now know how this is quite possible. \n\nSo if someone of ancient times tries to explain the movement of spiritual beings thru space and time, he's going to use the only information he has... and at the time the only ones doing any flying were birds... with wings. This is the concept we have had about angels since then. Thanks to Quantum Physics, we now know that light particles can be in two places at once. Once we (as a collective whole) become more enlightened on the subject, I suspect we will find more than just light particles can move instantaneously as well.

Here's the truth: There is no such thing as a "demon," except as a metaphor. People who are "possessed" are actually mentally ill. They need the help of qualified therapists, not prayers and rituals. We are now living in the twenty-first century and people, including children, still die every year during exorcisms. This is nothing short of madness.

I have, actually, and ironically, I just answered a question a few minutes ago that reminded me of that.  I had a near death experience, and I think the entity I was talking to could be described as a Guardian Angel, although I don't remember there being a specific visual image of an angel.  More like a light.  But it was clearly benevolent, and had a style something like a teacher or mentor.

Does Darkness really exist?

You are not talking about "souls". You are talking about noncorporeal shadows. I have had several problems with this myself. Aside from dismissing it quickly as a figment of the imagination or an optical illusion (same thing). Please consider these possible alternatives:\nGhosts (similar to souls, anyway)\nExtra-dimensional beings(Who knows, aliens>?)\nAnd Boogeymen! (I'm real serious!).\n\nWhen I was little, two shadows lived in my closet (I know right!). They were similar to a man and a woman. This went on for about a year and on several occasions I woke my parents up to investigate. Of course, they found nothing. the problem was when a light was turned on they would fade rather rapidlly. And it wasn't quite a fading, it was like they seeped into the walls. I would here them whisper sometimes, and I could only half make it out. It was kinda like they would say whole sentances in the space of one word. They had a mischiveous (sp?) personality(ies). Sometimes they would merge as well. I couldn't say they were out to do harm, but there was a certain aspect of "spying". \n\nThere have been several strange "sightings" since my childhood. Small black spheres that zip across the room when I would turn a light on.\n\nOnce, and this was the only time anyone else saw the balls, was after we moved to another state. I was 14, and my sisters just a tad younger. We were in our playroom and a large thud was heard above us. The cieling seemed to "warp" down several feet and then return to normal. After that me and my sister saw aball several days later. I didn't say anything, because I thought she hadn't seen it. She asked me what that was and I said honestly, I don't know.\n\nAs for the shadow couple mentioned earlier. They disappeared as follows:\n\nThey scared me quite a bit, not intentionally of course, but they didn't like the fact I reported them to my parents either. I can't quite explain how they showed this, but their actions seemed to indicate an overall need for secrecy. \n\nOne day I simply asked them to leave. They opened a "door of light" in the back of my closet and simply walked out of my life.\n\nOddly I was 7 siblings, but the sister with me when I saw the black sphere in the new house was the same one who took my room when I moved into my dad's office at the old house.\n\nI am not claiming anything other than this is a rather strong experience from my childhood. I have found a few obscure authors who document similar things. Obviously, you could understand why no sane adult would talk about this. \n\nBTW, when I was sleeping they would come up real close and "stare" at me. Then like children themselves, do something very similar to what you mentioned, gently nudge me or poke my pillow.\n\nAnyhow, if you don't mind them, see what happens. Otherwise when you think they are around (if they ever come back) and you want them gone for good, just tell them.\n\nWho the hell knows what those things really are.

I wouldn't believe them because satan would never tell you who he is.He would rather deceive you into believing he is someone who cares about you.God would be saddened if you didn't know enough to recognize the devil when you see him.Afterall he has given us a manual to refer to,and yet we doubt what he says.If calling evil just that is crazy,then crazy I am.I know evil when I see it and am not afraid to call it what it is......EVIL SATAN!!!!!

Yes, I believe in demons.\n\nDemon is among many names for a particular manifestation of sentient energies. Some people, when they die, will manifest as spirits in this plane of existence. If they are of a malicious nature, you can attribute the label "demon" to them. Of course, not all demons come from human spirits, just as among the demons there are different levels of awareness and powers, including their ability to affect substance. \n\nAs for names...one you haven't heard and won't find: Muulak.

No, I don't.  I just had this discussion with someone else and she was telling me that demonic possession occurs to draw people away from Christ.  That's a good theory, but it doesn't really stand up to examination.  If demons were possessing people to turn them from Christ, we'd be seeing thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of cases of possession.   That's just not happening.  Of course, you'd also have to believe in demons and I don't.\n\nI think that most people who are said to be possessed are suffering from mental health issues.  When these issues are not addressed, they get much, much worse.

There are invisible beings to the human eyes. There are human deincarnated spirits, ghosts, angels...\n\nThe difference between a spirit and a ghost seems to be that a spirit is fulfilling some occupation in the unseen realm, for God's Kingdom purposes, while a ghost is either a marked energy imprinted in a place by a spirit or even people living in that place before, or a spirit that isn't fulfilling a purpose and is lost.\n\nHope that helped,\n\nClara
