Benny Hinn. Angels. Demons. Pre-adamic race. Etc.

It's a bunch of hooey. The nations that Lucifer weakened came long after Adam

so you believe that demons are the offspring of angels and women. who were the nations that Lucifer did weaken in Isaiah 14:12? can you explain your view of demons more fully?

The difference between fallen angels and demons in BH's view are bodies.

I heard something like that but disagree. And I do not believe the sons of God in Gen 6 were angels either. Just Sethites.


But I wondered if angelic beings were on earth before Adam who were the ones who fell and became devils/fallen angels (same thing in my mind).

The "problem" BH sees (and represents) is easily solved by understanding that the human race is much more than 6,000 years old.

Conventional science and archeology illuminates this era and a resort to fantastic fairy tales is completely unwarranted. This is just one more example of the "pit" Biblical literalism digs for you.

... and be assured; people like Benny Hinn have to dig their own "pits" and caverns for this cosmology. Recent events in the Gulf of Mexico are just more evidence that there is no "subterranean world" hosting "the dead" in varying levels of comfort.

I think the sons of God of Genesis 6:2 were humans from the lineage of those who were calling upon the Lord in Genesis 4:26. I believe those who were called the daughters of men were from the lineage of those who were not calling on the Lord. I believe the term giants does not necessarily pertain to physical stature but to men who were outstanding in evil, mighty men of evil.

If the teaching is that there was a pre-Adamic race of humans on the earth who were destroyed and when they died their spirits were released into the atmosphere and hung around for centuries or however long it was until Adam was created and then those disembodied human spirits came back to earth, that sounds like some kind of science fiction. If those were angels on earth who were cast out of heaven and they then hung around until the earth was recreated and came here as demons, I could see that.

why would fallen angels seek to dwell in bodies of humans or animals like pigs?

That would explain their need for large beds and furniture.

This particular aspect of Gnosticism was in fact incorporated by science fiction writer L. Ron Hubbard into several of his works and then brought into the dogma of Scientology.
