Understanding Demons in Biblical Passages

Posted by Administrator on July 9, 2013

Have you ever read the Bible and had the crap scared out of you when reading about the devil, demons, hell, etc? Why is the Bible so scary?

The answer lies in the fact that we take what we are reading in the Good Book as ipso facto – literally. If you are religious, then, you also might be putting a lot of credence in Biblical passages, meaning you believe that God wrote them. If you are doing either of these two things, you are going to view the scriptures from a place of fear.

The Bible was written by various authors, but most of it was not written to be understood in literal fashion. Much of the stories are parables – they have hidden meaning that cannot be understood they way we understand books we read, today. Thousands of years ago, people understood that a good story with a greater meaning behind it was an awesome teaching tool that would cause people to mull over the core ideals. When we read about demons, devils and hell, the idea is no different: they are parables that explain a hidden truth about you and about me.

If you would like to learn more about demons found in the Bible as well as learn about the hidden meaning behind demons, the Devil, Satan, etc., then read Demons in the Bible.
