Demon – An evil spirit, malignant supernatural being, or lesser god.
This word never appears in Scripture; demons do not exist; they are a fabrication of religion.
This word was invented around 1,200 c. by the Catholic Church in an attempt to scare people into submission, mystify their teachings, and convolute Scripture. Their invention of “demons” has become accepted world-wide and has spawned a myriad of superstitions and old wives’ tales.
First appearing in the Catholic Greek Orthodox transliterations and the Catholic Church’s corrupt Latin Vulgate. In those transliterations, they injected “god of the heathen, heathen idol” and “unclean spirit” into their definition.
In the late 1400s they added “a divine principle or inward oracle” to their meaning.
In the 1560s their meaning was further embellished to include “supernatural agent or intelligence lower than a god, ministering spirit”, and is sometimes written daemon or daimon for purposes of distinction.
In the 1610s their meaning morphed again, to include “destructive or hideous person”.
And in 1712 the Temperance Movement and Puritans used this word to include “an evil agency personified” when speaking of alcoholic beverages or activities that they didn’t approve, like drinking, dancing, and music.
