I heard in Christian/Spiritual Warfare circles that demons can and do inhabit inanimate objects....figures, rocks, etc. Do they? Or do demons just occupy locations/regions/areas?
If angels and demons were all once angels, do angels occupy objects too, seems there are 2/3 more of them to inhabite "holy" relics......hmmmm
If angels and demons were all once angels then do they all have freewill? Some chose to follow after Satan and were caste out of heaven.....
Do they recognize various levels of beauty...Lucifer was the "most beautiful angel." Is there a rank and power structure to angels and demons (archangels)?
What ya' thinking?

Stef the Bible tells us to hate evil and Satan is the god of this evil world (2 Cor 4:4) so we are to hate him. Satan—the Devil is the antithesis of all that God stands for and God clearly is set against him.
As followers of God we are called to consider him our enemy, our antichrist, and to hate him. We must all clearly stand in the light and cannot give an inch to allowing darkness into our lives. Much of the Bible warns us he is ready to devour us, to kill and destroy us, he hates us because God created and loves us.
Remember he is the father of lies, so to give him any sympathy, mercy, or show any concern for him is like a door that should never be opened and sealed shut.
God shows him no mercy and God is clearly going to send him to Hell…then that is where we should all want him to go…bound in chains to the bottomless pit—into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur, there to be tormented day and night forever and ever.
Stef, you pose an interesting question...I'd say that a Christian who is constantly troubled/depressed could have a number of things going on spiritually...
1) Their life is justifiably troubling/depressing (Job went through the ringer for some time...before God delivered him. Israel suffered for long periods of time, we all have times, too). So they may be living in the middle of Psalm 34...God is yet to deliver them....
2) They may be disobedient to God's will, commandments, not repentant, etc.
3) They just have a bad attitude....and love it. They dwell in their sorrow/woes--not truely giving it all to God...And waiting upon the Lord in faith, patience, endurance, and perserverance.
4) God may be trying to teach them something THROUGH it all.
5) Other (always something beyond our understanding). As God's ways are higher then ours....
