Word Meaning

Hi,

I think that before greek mentioning in Hebrew language Demon is related to "Red One" which is related to Esaw. I think this meaning is used very often for describing the red "devil" with horse legs and horns. The red one is transliterated "HaAdmon" A different interpunctuation can then really fast lead to "demon" based on the missing vocals in bold hebrew. Since I didnt find this meaning in the whole article I found it necessary to mention here for further notice.

Merge Proposal

I propose that the content of Devil be merged into this article. The content of the Devil is similar to that of Demons. 210.181.111.231 (talk) 05:30, 21 November 2021 (UTC)

• Oppose Being similar isn't reason for merging. A devil is more specific than just demons which can be anything from powerful god-like beings to small annoyances.★Trekker (talk) 08:55, 23 November 2021 (UTC)
• Oppose There are enough significant differences between the two concepts to justify two seperate articles. The Devil is not always classed among the demons; for the early Christians, for instance, Satan was technically an angel, while demons were the ghosts of the Nephilim. Dan from A.P. (talk) 10:51, 23 November 2021 (UTC)
• Oppose Even lesser devils are not necessarily equal to demons, and not all beliefs acknowledging demons have devils (like Egypt for example).'--VenusFeuerFalle (talk) 13:20, 23 November 2021 (UTC)
• Oppose - while there may be some overlap, the two terms generally have different usages - Epinoia (talk) 16:28, 23 November 2021 (UTC)
• Oppose Reasoning seems patently obvious to most involved. Zhomron (talk) 17:08, 7 December 2021 (UTC)

• Oppose. I've revised the summary, pointing out that demons and devils are not the same thing, and that demons may or may not also be believed to be devils. Stephen.R.Ferg (talk) 22:39, 15 July 2022 (UTC)

Backwards

A demon is a protective spirit. It seems the meaning here is completely backwards. Rosengarten Zu Worms (talk) 11:15, 8 May 2022 (UTC)

Have you any source for that claim? I know from several research that the Daimon were sometimes a protective spirit, but the demon is't. VenusFeuerFalle (talk) 11:50, 8 May 2022 (UTC)

Serious revision of the opening summary

The opening summary was a mess. I have re-arranged it quite a bit, moving sentences and paragraphs around to create a more orderly and chronologically correct sequence. I think we now have a much stronger foundation for future edits. Stephen.R.Ferg (talk) 22:36, 15 July 2022 (UTC)
