Angels and Demons: Debunking the Myths

Lesson 1True/False Test

Angel Demon

As a first step in separating fact from fiction, let’s test our supernatural IQ with a True/False test. Don’t use any reference material, not even the Bible. Just consider what you believe you know to be the truth and answer accordingly.

I know from many years of teaching—both at the university level, and even as an instructor in the military—that you can always make a True/False test difficult and tricky. That is not my intention here. What you will see listed below are common understandings about the unseen spirit world. Put an answer beside each one. Once you have completed this, check yourself against the answers to see how well you know angels and demons.

My prayer is that this approach will open your eyes to what lies ahead and how big the chasm is between the truth and the lies that the present world so easily accepts as fact.

In our next lesson, we will begin our study in earnest with a multi-lesson look at the angels of God. We will follow that with an in-depth look at Satan, including an examination of something theologians call "The Moral Problem of Evil"—the questions surrounding why, or how, a righteous, loving, all-knowing God could create Satan, knowing the evil it would bring. Following that, the last lessons in the study will encompass a look into the world of demons.

Thanks for studying with us!

In Christ,
