Are Demons Fallen Angels?

[wyguy]

As I am curious about what others think, and why, I am compelled to ask:

Are demons fallen angels - or something else entirely?

[other one]

Some people think they are fallen angels, and others think that they are the disembodied spirits of the Nephilim (cross between fallen angels and daughters of Adam) that died in the flood.

Personally I think they are the spirits of the Nephilim, but I would never take you where I had to go to understand that.

[Joshua-777]

They could be either, I personally believe they are fallen angels, but what ever they are, they are from Satan, and evil.

[JCISGD]

I cant see how they can be anything other. We know for a fact that Satan was cast out and 1/3 of the angels went with him. Satan is no longer called an angel but THE Devil and if he is now a malicious being why would these fallen angels be anything different, and where are are they if not still following under his command.

When we have clear facts they are to be taken over unclear passages or speculations. Where does the bible mention disembodied spirits of the Nephilim? Im not saying it doesnt, i would have to study up to know and am asking not challenging.

[Joshua-777]

ESV revelation 12:9 And the great dragon was thrown down, that ancient serpent, who is called the devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world

I pretty much agree with otherone. These nephilim are a product of human and fallen angels and when God destroyed the earth and all its inhabitant the 'earthly' part of them died but the fallen angel part was not killed off, at least thats how I see it. So where do thise unclean spirits go but possessing others such as we find in the story where the spirits went into the pigs.

Their pleasure is in tormenting others and they fear being driven out because of where they return to. Jesus spoke some regarding where they go when cast out, which can be found in Matthew 12:43 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none.

But, how could these hybrids be when angels are sexless?

Remember, the Bible says that sex is only for marriage, and it also says that angels do not marry, so there would be no reason for God to create angels with sexual organs if they do not marry.

And just for sake of argument, let's say God did create the angels with sexual organs in the beginning. Where, even once, is there ever mention of female angels? (as the male usage is also simply an anthropomorphism).

And where is there ever mention of angels procreating to create more angels - or anything else?

I think it's obvious that angel/human procreation is impossible and not Biblically supported.

And from what I have read and been told, these "Nephilim" are the result of the Godly line of Seth (the redeemers line; Genesis 4:26) who intermingled with the godless line of Cain

Also, the Bible says Angels are spirits. (Hebrews 1:14) but that they can take on the "appearance" of men - not become human.

wyguy, the bible does not use the term sons of God but for two things before Jesus came and made it possible for us to be adopted. One was for Adam and the others were for angels. While you are correct that angels do not marry in heaven, the bible does not state that those who left their place there and came here could not marry.

We also note that you can't tell the difference between an angel and a human, or we would not be taught that in helping others that we might be helping an angel.

Tom Horn has written about this if you want to do some research on the subject.
