From Whit:
While I do not believe in demons, I do believe in bad/fallen angels. These types do not believe in God and only pursue their own power. In their mind, God is an evolution of power and not a sanctity within their hearts. As far as possession, they can inhabit humans and cause all kinds of problems, but they can never do more than God allows. Simply put, be kind to strangers for you never know whether they are an angel or not.
*all humans become angels
From Aaron:
It seems that Whit is wrestling with the spiritual beings mentioned in scripture and their identity. I personally wonder what Whit's understanding of evil is. What role does Satan play in the unseen realms of this world? In scripture there is clear reference to a non-compliant third of heaven. A great rebellion led by Satan. My understanding is that Satan and the demons were all angels that turned from God. I find it interesting that Whit believes in fallen Angels and believes they are fallen because they don't believe in God. It seems that is in fact what the rebellion of Satan and the demon legions is all about. They, what ever they is, did not believe in God either nor would they have rebelled if they believed in God and His supremacy.
Scripture does not agree with Whit's asterisks comment. Humans and Angels are different spiritual beings created by God.
I'll add scripture references later.
