Hi, I don't know much really about the last sentence there. I do know darkness can't dwell with light and as a Christian apart from throwing a dart or raising a temptation at me I reckon that's about the best they can put my way.That was helpful.
Unfortunately I have to agree about trying to reason with them.
Personally, I find the amillennial approach more reasonable than the other schools.
Ben mentioned recovering charismatics who "met demons". This makes me think of some founders of Christian cults and false religions who supposedly encountered angels and higher beings. Joseph Smith of the Mormons was one and I think I read Mohammed had a vision of a glorious being. Surely that was either a fallen angel or Satan himself.
Is it possible for a Christian to be influenced by, to hear from, or see a fallen angel/demon or Satan?
Like what does a fallen angel or satan look like. Id back it in they don't look anything like artwork from the RC church and others depict. They're id say as far off of the mark as images of, supposed, Christ. Horns and a long tail with like an arrow head on the end, not likely. Personally I dont believe they appear to any Christian or non Christian.
Its funny, though not ha ha, that people I know who said they saw Christ saw him as one of the art work types you see, and some who saw demons saw them in a similar manner. Its the same to me as those who say they saw an alien. Yrs ago when in movies, 50s and 60s, people who claimed they saw an alien described them as little green men, later as movies and effects advanced so did the descriptions of aliens people supposedly saw, as too the ufo's, once wobbling discs now more elaborate.
It is suggested they look a certain way so thats what people claimed to see.
I believe if artwork had been all along a Jesus with short black hair then that is the Jesus people would claim to see. So say someone see's a demon, what did it look like, an artwork version? That's what I think anyway.
