Evil Spirits:
What is an evil spirit?
The Bible describes it as something that is: bad; harmful; evil; wicked; painful; worthless; useless; grievous.
Theology describes it as a spirit that is: not good morally; wicked; a spirit that is afflicted with evil; a spirit with imputed bad character and conduct. It can cause discomfort or harm, and is offensive. Its inception was from fallen angels.
Note: The invention and teachings of evil spirits were derived from Greek divinities (demons as intermediary spiritual beings).
Jewish and early Christian writers coalesced (mixed) the meanings of a Greek ‘demon’ and ‘angel’ and created new beings called ‘evil spirits’.
Where did evil spirits derive from?
The Bible does not explain or imply anything about the origin, inception (source), creation (beginning), or root of existence for evil spirits.
Jewish tradition depicts evil spirits as progeny from fallen angels who joined Satan in his revolt against God.
Examples are: Book of Enoch 16:1; 19:1; 1st Enoch 69:4; Book of Jubilees 4:15-22.
The teachings by pagans, Gnostic books, book of Enoch, and in Jewish literature, Christian theology, etc., claim that Nephilim were the offspring of the fallen angels that had sexual intercourse with the daughters of men.
The Nephilim (giants) in these fictional sources are described as half angel, half human.
When the Nephilim died in Noah’s flood, they then became disembodied spirits floating (drifting) on the earth seeking a human body to dwell in.
This erroneous theory is contrary to the Bible.
There were not any offspring from fallen angels that died and became evil spirits or demons.
The Nephilim is lexicon #5303, and means giants.
But theologians and Bible interpreters will incorporate the lexicon #5307 in order to make it comply with their definition and interpretation of the Bible.
These ungodly men persisted (and still do) to fulfill their idea of what the Bible should mean.
The lexicon #5307 is Naphal. Naphal can be used in a wide variety of applications. Naphal means: to fail; to lie; to be cut down.
This un-Biblical doctrine can then be applied to ‘fallen angels’ that failed (meaning to stay on God’s side); were liars (meaning in order to seduce the women); were cut down (meaning thrown out of heaven).
