Angels are NEVER called demons by Scripture. The idea that angels are demons is just another man-made false doctrine.

I'm referring to the idea that demons are said to be angels. However, not by Scripture. Only in the false ideas of religious sects.What are you referring to exactly?
Can Angels (messengers) become evil and deliver false message? would that lead them to be a form of demons?I'm referring to the idea that demons are said to be angels. However, not by Scripture. Only in the false ideas of religious sects.

The wages of sin is death. God's angels in heaven don't die. Therefore they don't sin.Can Angels (messengers) become evil and deliver false message? would that lead them to be a form of demons?
Have you heard the one about angels coming down to have sex with mortal women and creating giants as offspring?Does anyone actually say that demons are angels? I've never heard of that, and most people seem to understand the difference. Even I can tell the difference. Demons are red, with pitchforks, tail, horns - sometimes with a beard and an evil grin. Angels are in some kind of white gown, with wings and a halo.
Sometimes, angels will play a harp, while demons play electric guitars. (They might play a fiddle on occasion, but not as good as Charlie Daniels.)
The point is, there's a clear difference here, and I don't think anyone would get them confused.
The wages of sin is death. God's angels in heaven don't die. Therefore they don't sin.
Any angel said to have sinned refers to man.
Great question. I'm not sure it really will ever be answered as the Bible never answers where demons came from.Can Angels (messengers) become evil and deliver false message? would that lead them to be a form of demons?
Thank you for this answer, that made it more clear to meGreat question. I'm not sure it really will ever be answered as the Bible never answers where demons came from.
Jude 1:6
And angels who did not keep (care for, guard, and hold to) their own first place of power but abandoned their proper dwelling place—these He has reserved in custody in eternal chains (bonds) under the thick gloom of utter darkness until the judgment and doom of the great day.
Here, it doesn't say they became demons and these, specifically, seem to be bound.
2 Corinthians 11:14
And it is no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light;
Certainly he delivers a false message... but still called an angel.
Some people think that demons are from a pre-Adamic race... but it really isn't delineated specifically.
But then, scripture does not define reality.Angels are NEVER called demons by Scripture. The idea that angels are demons is just another man-made false doctrine.

This refers back to the garden when man sinned because he would become as "one of us", angels of light to know good and evil.And it is no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light;
Yes it does.
Those angels were men who lived in the days of Noah before the flood. Those men chose to leave their dwelling place, east of Eden, and go after the women of Nod instead of marrying in the faith. God was very displeased with them because they chose to NOT follow His way. So God brought the flood and killed them all.

God created the heavens and the earth. What more reality do you need.But then, scripture does not define reality.

Talk about nonsense!What nonsense.. The Nephilim show up again in the very next chapter... so they didn't all drown.
- The Return of the Nephilim: AFTER the Flood

Again, there is absolutely NO mention of Fallen Angels mating with women to produce the giants that they saw, roughly 850+ years after the Flood. These Nephilim giants were the sons of another Nephilim giant named Anak. The great giant producing father named Anak was himself fathered by an individual named Arba. Arba means four.

The Nephilim: Before and After the Flood. He was born a winged Nephilim, that had his wings plucked by Yah, the 'winged lion' of Daniel, the 'fiery flying serpent', that is the fruit/child/offspring of the cockatrice, i.e. Heylel/Lucifer SON OF Shachar or Apollyon, the destroyer, the king of the bottomless pit.
That's not reality, that's mythology. I am not against mythology, it has it's place and it's purpose. But it's purpose is NOT TO DEFINE REALITY. It's purpose is to convey the ideals and ideology that the people who created the myths thought important, to each other, and to their own succeeding generations.God created the heavens and the earth. What more reality do you need.
