Christian demonology - Monstropedia - the largest encyclopedia about monsters It is also believed that demons torment people during their life, like the case of Job or through possession, causing disgraces and diseases, or simply showing themselves before persons to frighten them, or by provoking visions that could induce people to sin or to be afraid. Demons are also believed to try to make people abandon the faith, commit heresy or apostasy, remain or turn themselves Pagan or venerate "idols" (the Christian term for cult images), and gain the highest number of adversaries of God. Demons, however, are granted permission to test, bring about trials, and to tempt people through the use of their destructive powers, to make people prove their faith, sometimes as a means to carry out the will of the Lord. www.monstropedia.org /index.php?title=Christian_demonology   (989 words)

The Demons of Caelereth The term "Demons" in the human sense includes all supernatural or unnatural beings that are said to be summoned by magical or divine means and are of evil intent per se. In this respect it has often been debated by the sages if the War of the Chosen wasn't actually waged by Demons who used the sorcerers to mask themselves, and not by the Gods as is commonly claimed, who are said to have used the races as their pets, at least in the elven view. Demon Lords are said to be creatures of myth only, who are endowed with the powers of half-gods or even of Gods and are direct subordinates to the will of the Dark One. www.santharia.com /bestiary/demon.htm   (2967 words)

Comparative Religion - The divine incarnation in Hinduism and Christianity Gods and demons together set about producing amrita by churning the ocean of milk, using a mountain as churning stick and the incarnation of Vishnu as a tortoise for the pivot on which to rest it. However, the demon forgot to mention the boar in his list of gods, men and animals to which he could be invulnerable, so Vishnu took the form of a huge boar, descended into the ocean, killed the demon with his tusks, recovered the Vedas and released the earth. In Hinduism not only can demons force the gods to admit their merits, but the descent of the divine into human form is more concerned with saving the world of the gods than that of humans. www.comparativereligion.com /avatars.html   (3519 words)

Incubus - Monstropedia - the largest encyclopedia about monsters Thomas Aquinas insisted that demons were sterile; therefore the only way the incubus could impregnate a woman was by receiving the semen from a succubus who had received from a man. Also, aiding in this theory was the idea that demons were able to change their sex at will. Aquinas further asserted that a demon could use semen lost during a wet dream so a man could be at one and the same time a virgin and a father. During the witchhunts, alleged intercourse with demons or with Satan was one of the purported sins for which women were killed. www.monstropedia.org /index.php?title=Incubus_(demon)   (1679 words)

Christ's Incarnation: refs. include Witness Lee and Watchman Nee Then, too, demons used to deceive men's minds by taking up their abode in springs or rivers or trees or stones and imposing upon simple people by their frauds. It is also no small exposure of the weakness and nothingness of demons and idols, for it was because they knew their own weakness that the demons were always setting men to fight each other, fearing lest, if they ceased from mutual strife, they would turn to attack the demons themselves. And demons, so far from continuing to impose on people by their deceits and oracle-givings and sorceries, are routed by the sign of the cross if they so much as try. www.christsincarnation.org /strategy/ch8.html   (3314 words)

Valmiki Ramayana - Kishkindha Kanda Rama recognises the ornaments and the upper cloth of Seetha, and angered at the scandalous act of abduction he avows to eradicate that demon along with his clansmen. Here it is suggested that Sugreeva is reminding Rama of his earlier incarnation like the fish and horse-faced Hayagriiva, and compares Seetha with the Veda-s, that cannot be humbled down or controlled, or stolen by any single being. For the sake of which demon I wish to eliminate whole of the demons, that troublemaker of mine, where does he live, either... www.valmikiramayan.net /kishkindha/sarga6/kishkindha_6_prose.htm   (941 words)

Message Board Swami replied “Buddha did not speak even about God and therefore, there is no question of the topic...
