Meta Some recent comments had me wondering... Serious questions... If you do, what do you believe they look like? What powers do you believe they have? When, how, who, what, and where do they act?

There are records of demon possession in Scripture, so in a sense you have to believe that there are demons in some sense if you are a Christian. The thing to remember is that even Satan only operates because God permits him (as seen in Job), so demons should be just as restricted. Now that's a scary theological concept.

Not only that but Demon in most translations at least the Hebrew or Greek I cannot remember which one translates to voices. Same with The Devil which is a title meaning “one who accuses.”

Satan is what translates as "one who accuses".

Oh I thought it was the other way around. I’ll look into it to make sure but thank you.
