Demons and Devils.



The bible explains a devil like this ...

Tob.6:7 And he said unto him, touching the heart and the liver, if a devil or an evil spirit trouble any,

So that could be no more than having a bad day or being in a bad mood or catching the flu. There is no evil as such.

It is being troubled by bad thoughts which we all get and we learn to have self guidance and ignore most of our no so good thoughts.

In the bible there are 122 references to the devil but usually to devils. You can read all of them here ...

The word devil and defiled seem to have complimentary meanings in the bible. The God's are looking for undefiled seed or non tainted seed. Seed holding true to an original type eg virgin seed. The bible talks about the devil having planted the bad seed. Really all this means is the bad seed is tainted, is not of the wanted type.
