The English transliteration of the word "demon," is pronounced "daimon," and its G/K number is 1230 (The Strongest Exhaustive Concordance). Its definition of the word "daimon" is: evil spirit. Additionally, this fact is per Matthew 8:31, when the demons begged Jesus, "If you drive us out, send us into that herd of pigs." Also, according to Mark 5:9, when Jesus asked the demon possessed man what his name was, he responded, "My name is legion, for we are many." I should add the best estimate of a Roman legion was anywhere from 3,000 to 6,000 men; do the math. It is evident the demon possessed man had many "evil spirits" in him. So it is clear Scripture does indeed refer to demons as "evil spirits;" more specifically, so did the authors of the gospels. "Doctrine of Men"? Have you ever heard of verbal-plenary inspiration, or do you not believe the Bible to be the divine, inspired and inerrant Word of God?
We can conclude:
(1) God is spirit.
(2) Satan is Spirit.
(3) Satan is an angel.
(4) There are many fallen angels.
(5) Fallen angels must likewise be spirits.
(6) Satan and fallen angels rebel (rebelled) against God.
(7) Per Revelation 12:7-9, Satan and his angels were hurled to the earth.
(8) Satan inhabits the earth (There are numerous scriptures which confirm this fact,
but let's just take Job into consideration).
(9) Satan is an evil spirit.
(10) Fallen Angels must also inhabit the earth, per numerous scriptures.
(11) Fallen angels are also evil spirits.
(12) Demon = Evil Spirit
(13) Evil spirit(s) [According to Scripture] = Satan/Fallen Angels

Are you talking about the video game, "Prince of Persia," or the movie starring Jake Gyllenhaal? You really do have to specify, because I want to make sure you are not referring to manmade doctrine. 
I said the Prince of persia is a territorial spirit but laodicea said i was inventing doctrine. What do you think?

Sorry but that is still your opinion. You simply are being accusatory without facts. If you state I twist scripture and do not prove that claim, that is absolutely just your opinion, not fact. Show an example of me twisting a scripture then accuse me of scripture twisting otherwise it is just a groundless personal attack based 100% on the words from your mouth.
Why some of the people here like to engage in heated discussions? It seems no one decides to back down, believe me it goes nowhere. If you already made your point then that's it, don't force someone to swallow your opinion. It's not good infact it's very ridiculous. I don't see any mature christians but unbelievers who are fighting for nothing.
Beloved , We are the salt of this evil world, but if salt has lost its taste,how shall its saltiness be restored? it's no longer good for anything except to be thrown out.
Here in cc are not all believers. there are someone here who are just curious of what christianity is all about. And this is the way you want to show them?
Ok God bless everyone...

I don't expect anyone to "swallow" my position, but at the very least, I do enjoy an open discussion. However, I find it rude when you ask someone a direct question and they blatantly refuse to respond to it, as this leads me to believe I am being ignored or that I am insignificant. I suppose if you already have your presuppositions concerning matters of doctrine, it shouldn't matter whether or not you have a discussion with someone who has a differing view about a particular aspect of Scripture. Then again, some might find such an act to be wrong, or they are insecure about their own beliefs -- enough so they decide not to at least engage someone in conversation. This is all my opinion.
Grace and Peace!
