I don't know. I want to believe in something like that, but I've never experienced either, so I can't say for sure. I know people who believe, and I believe it was a very real experience to them.

I suppose, in a way, it's hard for to believe in anything I haven't 'felt' or 'seen' somehow...

The Bible and other literature of the time of the Bible has some fascinating writings about angels, what they are, how they came to be, what they've done here on earth, etc. Angels from that context aren't the cute little cherubs of the gorgeous women with flowing robes, hair and wings. Some angels are quite fearsome and ferocious and dare I say dangerous.

Demons... well, let's just say what I've read says the demons and the angels were sometimes hard to tell apart.

It's fascinating reading, but I don't know what I do believe or how much to believe of what I've read.

Nope.

Because there is no proof about them. I in every holy book there is writing about Angels and Demons but I need some answer to believe them these questions are:

#Why there is no proof?

#Why they like to hide themselves?

#Why science can't invention any machine to detect them?

#If they are a anti-matter or super-matter why they don't explain about it?

#Why the rules of science like Mass, Light,Gravity etc don't work for them?

#If they have no psychical presentation so what is the difference between a person who have been created in my dream and agels/demons?

I think to get answer of these questions are nearly impossible.

Thanks

Not being a Christian, no I don't, but I do believe strongly in good and evil. My belief system is based on the transfer of universal energy, and believes that there is good and bad energy that can be drawn on.

Evil to me is just the highest form of negative energy, i.e. demons. There is some energy that is so black, so powerful, and so destructive that it cannot be described in any other way than evil. Evil energy is used for no purpose other than wreaking havoc and causing harm.

What Christians call angels are what I believe is the purest form of good energy, and the only energy that can neutralize (but not destroy) evil energy. I think of this as light -vs- dark, which is a tenet of every major religion.

You may remember Ghostbusters, the movie, where there was a river of ooze flowing under the city that was an accumulation of all the bad feelings in NYC. That is much like what I believe. There is a balance of energy in the universe, and all the greed, violence and hatred that are so prevalent today has thrown that balance off toward the dark side. When one needs to draw on the universal energy, there may not be enough light energy to go around, so dark energy is received.

One result of this is all the depression, illness, and mental illness. In recent years, depression and especially bipolar disorder, have increased dramatically. This to me is our bodies trying to fight and rid itself of the dark energy that was neither asked for or wanted. Dark energy can invade every corner of your mind and body, and it is very hard to get rid of. All these meds everyone is taking are just masking the symptoms, and allowing the darkness to grow stronger.

The ecological movement is an attempt to restore the balance of universal energy. Recycling, being green, growing organic food...all this is returning positive, or white energy to the universal energy bank. The movement toward more involved parenting and trying to restabilize the family as a unit is also returning light to the universe. As balance is restored, the world will simply become a better place to live.

yes sir there are angels and there are demons .
All of the angels were created by Jesus:

For by him Jesus all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him. (Col 1:16 )
The Lord Jesus created all of the angels. This even includes Michael the archangel, which some cults wrongly think is Jesus!
Angels are powerful spirit beings:

God is just: He will pay back trouble to those who trouble you and give relief to you who are troubled, and to us as well. This will happen when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven in blazing fire with his powerful angels. (2 Th 1:6,7)
Yet even angels, although they are stronger and more powerful , do not bring slanderous accusations against such beings in the presence of the Lord. (2 Pet 2:11).

At least some of the angels that sinned long ago have been bound and put away:

For if God did not spare angels when they sinned , but sent them to hell, putting them into gloomy dungeons to be held for judgment; (2 Pet 2:4)
And the angels who did not keep their positions of authority but abandoned their own home -- these he has kept in darkness, bound with everlasting chains for judgment on the great Day. (Jude 1:6)
It said to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, "Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates." (Rev 9:14)Angels, Demons and Satan
