Psalm 119:160 Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever.

The study of demons, or demonology, has been a great subject of interest among both saved and lost. Witches, fortune tellers, and necromancers attain their wisdom and power through the powers of devils. Charismatics are always hysterical about binding unclean spirits in the name of Jesus of Nazareth, yet they do not realize that they are demon-possessed already. A common misconception among the religious crowd today is that demons are fallen angels. This idea has been popularized by John Milton's Paradise Lost and Joseph Smith's teachings from Mormonism. Secular scholars mock the belief of the literal existence of devils and claim that they are merely metaphorical expressions for evil. With this lack of knowledge, the powers of darkness grows more in control of our world and taint the minds of billions in order to drag them into a burning Hell. This study will cover questions such as, "How did demons really originate?" "What are the three theories for the origin of demons?" "Aren't demons supposed to be fallen angels?" "What do demons look like?" "Angels don't have wings, but do demons have wings?" "Why doesn't the King James Bible ever say 'demons' instead of 'devils'?" "Do demonic forces really have their own headquarters in our earth today?" "What will the exact ending be for the demons?"

Sermon - The Paradox of Christ

Lamentations 3:18-33, 39-50
And I said, My strength and my hope is perished from the LORD: Remembering mine affliction and my misery, the wormwood and the gall. My soul hath them still in remembrance, and is humbled in me. This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope. It is of the LORD'S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness. The LORD is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him. The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him. It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD. It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth. He sitteth alone and keepeth silence, because he hath borne it upon him. He putteth his mouth in the dust; if so be there may be hope. He giveth his cheek to him that smiteth him: he is filled full with reproach. For the Lord will not cast off for ever: But though he cause grief, yet will he have compassion according to the multitude of his mercies. For he doth not afflict willingly nor grieve the children of men. Wherefore doth a living man complain, a man for the punishment of his sins? Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to the LORD. Let us lift up our heart with our hands unto God in the heavens. We have transgressed and have rebelled: thou hast not pardoned. Thou hast covered with anger, and persecuted us: thou hast slain, thou hast not pitied. Thou hast covered thyself with a cloud, that our prayer should not pass through. Thou hast made us as the offscouring and refuse in the midst of the people. All our enemies have opened their mouths against us. Fear and a snare is come upon us, desolation and destruction. Mine eye runneth down with rivers of water for the destruction of the daughter of my people. Mine eye trickleth down, and ceaseth not, without any intermission, Till the LORD look down, and behold from heaven.
