The Scriptures teach the existence of Satan who is the originator of sin and the king over a host of fallen angels and spirits who carry out his work They were like good angels but because of choosing to follow Satan they were cast out of heaven. Like angels, they were also created, spiritual beings with moral judgement and intelligence but without physical bodies. We can define a demon as, Fallen angels who sinned against God and who now work evil in the world.
