That's like sayingall "angels" are flying good guys in the sky with wings and harps. A Demon is simply a supernatural being from various religions,occultisms, literatures, and folklores that is described assomething that is not human. The term "demon", in current colloquialism, usually refers to "evilspirit", "fallen angel" or "unclean spirit", and have a malevolentconnotation (ex. "demonic" means sounding evil and scary). This isbecause in Christianity and Judaism, the term "demon" usuallyrefers to angels that rebelled against YHWH, the Abrahamic God, andsided with Satan/Lucifer. Satan is considered the chief "demon" inthe Bible, the most powerful angel who rebelled against YHWH. Theysupposedly cause possessions causing people do to malevolent acts.In the end, they, along with Satan, are damned to hellfire foreternity. The term is derived from Ancient Greek δαίμÏν daimÅn, which is aword for "spirit" or "divine power", much like the Latin genius ornumen. However, the Greek term does not have any connotations ofevil or malevolence. In fact, εá½Î´Î±Î¹Î¼Î¿Î½Î¯Î± (Eudaimonia), literally"good-spiritedness", is a term for "happiness". The term firstacquired its now-current evil connotations in the Septuaginttranslation of the Hebrew Bible, informed by the mythology of theancient Semitic religions. This connotation was inherited by theKoine text of the New Testament. The medieval and neo-medievalconception of a "demon" in Western civilization (see the Medievalgrimoire called the Ars Goetia) derives seamlessly from the ambientpopular culture of Late (Roman) Antiquity. Greco-Roman concepts ofdaemons that passed into Christian culture are discussed in theentry daemon, though it should be duly noted that the term referredonly to a spiritual force, not a malevolent supernatural being. TheHellenistic "daemon" eventually came to include many Semitic andNear Eastern gods as evaluated by Christianity. Now that you know, please note that there is a difference between a"demon" in general and an "evil spirit". If they exist, you wouldNOT want to mess with them. (MORE)
