In the Bible, there is several references to familiar spirits. But, exact; what are familiar spirits? When the Bible is examined, it can be understood that they are demons. Demons promote idolatry and false teaching. This occurs not only in the world, but also within the church. For example, we find that the ‘Witch’ of Endor was a mistress of a demon and she was know to Israel (the church of the Old testament). Demons are fallen angels that promote deception and idolatry. Demons are very active in false churches and parachurches today. Click the link below to view a You Tube video on this topic. Or, please visit the ‘Occult in the Church’ page on this website.
