Can you post that scripture please?

"And when he came to the other side, to the country of the Gadarenes, two demoniacs met him, coming out of the tombs, so fierce that no one could pass that way.
And behold, they cried out, What have you to do with us, O Son of God? Have you come here to torment us before the time?"
Matthew 8:28-29

"And when he saw Jesus from afar, he ran and worshiped him;
And crying out with a loud voice, he said, What have you to do with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I adjure you by God, do not torment me."
Mark 5:6-7

"And as he stepped out on land, there met him a man from the city who had demons; for a long time he had worn no clothes, and he lived not in a house but among the tombs.
When he saw Jesus, he cried out and fell down before him, and said with a loud voice, What have you to do with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beseech you, do not torment me."
Luke 8:27-28

"You believe that God is one; you do well. Even the demons believe--and shudder."
James 2:19

* Satan and his minions know who God and Christ are... and they know what God and Christ can do to them... 😉

"And when he saw Jesus from afar, he ran and worshiped him;
And crying out with a loud voice, he said, What have you to do with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I adjure you by God, do not torment me."
Mark 5:6-7

If the devil is a liar, then that means he knows the truth. If Jesus is truth, then Satan must beleive in him.

Actually he has a point, it's all in the interpretation and heck anyone can create a religion and book for their own purposes.

only a nice try when you do as most of your ilk do....which is to attempt to redefine words to support your own argument.

I don't believe that scripture says that the devil is in charge of demons..I thought it said Jesus was.

The word "devil" has been used as a translation for two entirely different Greek words diabolos and daimonion.

The first word is found in those verses used to prove the existence of a superhuman devil. As a word, it signifies "adversary," "traducer." "false accuser," "slanderer." Though it has been generally translated "devil," it has also been rendered "slanderers" (1 Tim. 3:11), and "false accusers" (2 Tim. 3:3: Titus 2:3).

In no instance does it relate to a fallen angel, as a careful consideration of the evidence will show. Daimonion is likewise translated "'devil" but signifies "demon." It is an entirely different word to diabolos, and is used to describe a person possessed with a disease,

When God Was Satan

In one event recorded in the Old Testament, even God appeared in the role of Satan, or adversary. The incident is described in two places: 2 Sam. 24:1 and I Chronicles 21:1. The former place states: "The anger of the Lord was kindled against IsraeI, and He moved David against them to say, Go, number Israel and Judah."

However, the parallel account in the latter place (1 Chron. 21:1) records: "Satan stood up against Israel, and provoked David to number Israel."

In the first quotation, the action is attributed to God; in the second, to satan! What is correct?

The devil is only a term used for our human nature.

^ interesting...^

Well scripture says that Jesus has Authority over the demons not the devil, which is never mentioned as I remember it.... 😕

These are the only three instances that diabolos is translated as anything other than devil. However, slanderer is a better translation than false accuser in these instances. The reason that slanderers is used is because of the context. In these three instances the reference is to humans, however, the other meaning of the word, adversary is translated Satan or devil is used in all other instances because context makes no reference to people nor is there any indication that the meaning could be otherwise. The context strongly supports the translation as Satan in many cases. The original translation does not do a good job distinguishing between the devil and devils (which should be demons to avoid the confusion) and I have to agree with you.

Simple answer: they are both correct. The action is not actually attributed to God in 2 Samuel 24:1. The word God is indeed Jehovah, but the key is in the words 'he moved'. The literal Hebrew words indicate that the Lord did not move David himself, but rather allowed David to be moved to have the census. Then who did God suffer to move David to have the census? The parallel account of 1 Chronicles 21:1 says it was Satan.

* so, correct me if i'm wrong but... you disagree and refuse to believe that the demons carry Satan's belief? wow, that's very logical, my friend...

* well, "in charge of" or "has authority over" the demons does NOT, by any means, indicate or even imply that the demons are on the good side or on Jesus' side...

* are you trying to implicate that Satan and the demons have no connection with each other, whatsoever?

"Then was brought unto him one possessed with a demon, blind and dumb: and he healed him, insomuch that the dumb man spake and saw.
And all the multitudes were amazed, and said, Can this be the son of David?
But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This man doth not cast out demons, but by Beelzebub the prince of the demons.
And knowing their thoughts he said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:
And if Satan casteth out Satan, he is divided against himself; how then shall his kingdom stand?
And if I by Beelzebub cast out demons, by whom do your sons cast them out?
therefore shall they be your judges.
But if I by the Spirit of God cast out demons, then is the kingdom of God come upon you."
Matthew 12:22-28

* clearly, Jesus casted out demons because He is not with them but against them...

* moreover, those words clearly states an individual... it was revealed by Saint John, who this "devil" really was...

"And the great dragon was thrown down, that ancient serpent, who is called the Devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world--he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him."
Revelation 12:9

* the Devil is Satan...

"And when he was come to the other side into the country of the Gadarenes, there met him two possessed with demons, coming forth out of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no man could pass by that way."
Matthew 8:28

* a demon is clearly NOT a person possessed with a disease... but according to the Scripture, the person was possessed WITH demons...

* and being possessed with demons does NOT equal to a disease or other illnesses... it's not medical nor scientific but spiritual...

"And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels going forth to war with the dragon; and the dragon warred and his angels;"
Revelation 12:7

* the dragon is Satan, and with him are HIS angels - the demons...

* and Jesus has authority over these demons and even Satan himself... it simply shows who's mightier, who's over who... 😉
