Do angels and demons exist?

In our culture most of people believe not only that angels and demons exist, but also that
they are active in the world, who interfere in our acts. And in other way skeptics are
dumbfounded by this archaic thought, for them believe in nonphysical beings like souls or
spirits without bodies or brains in todays world may seem delusional.
But there are serious scholars who take angels and demons seriously. Why?
Certainly, nonphysical beings would challenge the scientific worldview that only the
physical is real. Certainly, angels and demons, in one form or another, populate most of the
worlds religions. But do angels and demons really exist?
Returning with the first fact, most of people believe in angels and demons because as we
know the influence of Cristian belief, or for others the religion itself, is huge. So, for those
that belief that Christianity is true, then angels and demons being real is a systemdependent belief. This is the fact of follow the Bible as the word of God.
The Bible allows us to know about angels and demons concepts in several verses, this
create the principal perception that we actually have about them. For find answers we have
to search in it.
In Hebrew Bible (original language) angels comes from the word malach which means
messenger, it could be seen in many cases in the bible. This answer the real purpose of
angels, this change the view of the connotation of winged creatures benevolently watching
over us. In other way, demons comes from fallen angels, who revealed against God
authority.
Now, we know that their influence in us could be intense, much of Jesus activities
involve casting out demons and healing the sick from humans bodies, the possession rise
as the most dangerous influence in humans, so many facts put the question between true or
false.
Instead, for some scientist its a mistake to assume that the existence of nonphysical beings
depends on religious interpretations.
In the continuation in the Christianity line some new question emerge, why exist the
demons in the Gods universe?
The Bible talk about some future facts in the chapter of Revelations, they are related with
the worlds end. In his verses and the posterior analysis can prove that the existence of
demons and so far the Devil, have a purpose in the plan of humanity, a plan which we dont
understand completely.
The perception of a war between demons and angels change in some way. Yes, we can say
that are a fight for humans souls and their salvation, but at the end, as Revelations
demonstrate, the real victory always has been able to God.
Finally in a deeper concept, all those explications allows to think that exist a real spiritual
word unknown or ignored for many of us. This spiritual word involves paranormal theories
as ghosts, spirits, creatures and even aliens.
This open a new and a higher view, its time to confront faith and science; there are
unknown knowledge to find and so many questions without answers.
