The Highway Forums General Discussion Theology Discussion Forum Demons and fallen angels

I agree that the man is a false teacher, confused on the issue of salvation and other doctrines (the doctrines of most importance!), but his treatment of demons is interesting. The verses he quotes on this subject were not twisted from what I read, and he even states that to biblically back up what he says is difficult, in other words, he wouldn't be dogmatic about it. I would not teach this as a doctrine in the church either, it was only presented as a subject of interest and thought.

However, in spite of that, this doesn't detract from the truth of the gospel, nor does it corrupt any other doctrine of God. For me, it clears up some difficulties I previously had concerning the sons of God sleeping with the daughters of men. Also, the teaching that men were possessed by fallen angels didn't make much sense to me either. Again, like anything else I added to the discussion board, I'm not trying to convince anyone, we all must be convinced in our own hearts.

As for Spurgeon or anyone else, I compare what I'm reading with scripture, I do not base anything as being right because of a person's popularity or lack of. We can all be misled even by those we consider the most orthodox. In the same way, there can be truth in the most un-orthodox of people, we rest on the word alone.
