 Posted: Sun Jan 02, 2005 5:30 pm Post subject: What is "demonic"? |
|
The topic says it all. Basically, I'm wondering because someone I know considers all anime and most PC/video games as "demonic". For example, he says that Zelda is evil because of the magic used (and the reference to the gods).
I apologize if this is something that has been debated before, but could someone please explain...?  |

Yeah I'm always hearing phrases here such as "of the devil" and "demon-inspired"
IMO if something is bad, it's not because saton wispered an idea in someone's ear, it's just because humans are fallen creatures. It's silly to put all the blame on the devil.
Though I suppose he does have some influence. I just don't think he has as much as we give him credit for. |

| We are fallen creatures because of satan. Satan does not make us do it we do have the power to resist it though Christ but it's because of satan that there is the evil. |

Something would be "demonic" if it is possessed by a demon. In my opinion.
How do you determine that? Prayer. |

| Also, keep in mind the Bible says that Christians, those sealed by the blood of God, cannot become demon possessed. |
