Demons and their sly tricks

Demons and their sly tricks.

One such trick is ghosts. They pretend to be such. Not just to scare
you, for to them, you are nothing but a piece of excrement. But their
primary goal is always to downgrade God in some way.

They know what the Bible says at Ec 9:5:

- Revised Standard
Ecclesiastes 9:5 For the living know that they will die, but the dead
know nothing, and they have no more reward; but the memory of them is
lost.

Yes, the dead lose ALL their memories and thoughts because the brain
ceases to be a functioning organ. Jesus refers to the dead as being
"asleep". You can read the account at John 11:11-14.

Thus the demons by appearing as ghosts, try to contradict Ec 9:5 and
John 11:11-14. They try to perpetuate the belief that people live on
immediately after death, which the Bible doesn't teach. They say your
"soul" lives forever. (is immortal) Let's see:

-- Revised Standard
Ezekiel 18:4 Behold, all souls are mine; the soul of the father as
well as the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sins shall die.

Hmmmm. If a soul can DIE, it certainly can't be immortal, can it.

Another one of their tricks is improper sex. They know that is a
powerful force in humans, and that the Bible says only a husband and
wife should experience that. So Satan and his demons invent
pornography.

And there are many other tricks and deceptions that they confront
mankind with. They not only want to stop you from serving God, but
want to DEVOUR you while they are at it:

- Revised Standard
1 Peter 5:8 Be sober, be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls
around like a roaring lion, seeking some one to devour.

So do we have a chance with a powerful unseen spirit being? Without
God's help, no. But faithful Christians do:

-- Revised Standard
James 4:7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil and he
will flee from you.
