Another "Christianity" thread that deserves its own space
Dec 16, 2021, 11:54 AM

When considering what being a Christian is - what it means to be a Christian. Mostly what I decipher from all that is posted in P&R is that being a Christian means being forgiven of sin. It also appears that to be a Christian one must only believe in God... or Jesus.
So, the question is this: Can demons be saved from their sin if they believe in Jesus?

Demons are the equivalent and inverse of angels.

The concept of salvation is for the human race. Neither angels nor demons have any capacity to be saved, or not.

I will say this...

the Bible doesn't say that they do NOT. It also doesn't say that they do. If they are there, it's something God decided not to tell us about in advance.

Jesus said he went to "his own place"... it was not because he committed suicide.
But I'm sure he must have been a good Christian - as good as one can be - since he was one of the 12. Therefore, just being a Christian means you go to heaven - so his place is just off to the side somewhere. I think I correctly understand this as the P&R Christian Theology.

What's a demon?

How does a demon manifest? Does it possess a human, so we can somewhat "see" it, and come into contact with it? Where do they come from? Are they fallen angels that made a choice at some point?

and can't help but think, you know 50 years ago, this would be confused with demonic possession.

That sounds like a person doing something she shouldn't.

Does that make her an otherworldly entity? Or just a person doing some shit she shouldn't be doing?

According to both Testaments demons are fallen angels. Lucifer, according to record, made claims to become his own God which is typical of all man; free will and all. Lucifer tempted other angels by existing and being a self willed spirit. They too fell.
Their power now is only in deception. Imo, they cause a lot of trouble but only because man is prone to pride and willing to do bad things to satisfy pride of life, his lust for flesh and the lust of his eyes, or monkey see, monkey want.
