Daemon
So much has been distorted, warped and perverted by enemy religions. Here is the original meaning of
Daemon/Demon-
Daemon: “In Greek myth, an intermediate spirit between men and Gods. Daemons such as the one who
guided Socrates act as councilors and guardians to human beings.”
Another defintion:
Demon and daemon were once used interchangeably. The former came to English from medieval Latin,
while the latter was from classical Latin. The earliest use appears to have been in the phrase daemon of
Socrates, which was his “attendant, ministering, or indwelling spirit; genius”. That was in the late 14th
century. It was a short time later that the term Demon came to refer to “an evil spirit” by influence of its
usage in various versions of the Bible. The Greek form was used to translate Hebrew words for “lords,
idols” and “hairy ones (satyrs)”. Wyclif translated it from Greek to English fiend or devil. This is how
the evil connotation arose. By the late 16th century, the general supernatural meaning was being
distinguished with the spelling daemon, while the evil meaning remained Demon.
