The following discussion took place due to the Quora site question which led to Charles Jackson’s answer to “Is the Devil the most powerful demon?”
He noted
Satan is not a demon. He is a fallen angel. Read Ezekiel 28 : 12 : 19 to learn more about him. The origins of Demons/Evil Spirits/Ghost is in Genesis 6 : 1 – 4. Another group of fallen angels called Watchers who’s job was to watch and assist early humans who had illicit sex with women and produced an offspring called Nephilim. These giants were bullies, evil, cannibals and caused havoc on the earth against humans. Their disembodied spirits are the Demons that are plaguing mankind. Their abode is the Abyss. Read Revelation 9 : 11. Satan is their leader and is over all the other fallen angels. Read Revelation 12 : 4.
I, Ken Ammi, replied
Satan is not a fallen Angel, he’s a Cherub.
Charles Jackson
Mr. Ken, Aren’t Cherubs are a higher order of angels?
Ken Ammi
Mr. Jackson, the main three categories of being in God’s court are Angels, Cherubim, and Seraphim.
They have different job titles, different job functions, and look different from one another.
Cherubs can’t be anywhere in the order of Angels since they are not Angles since they are not messengers.
I am aware of un-biblical categorizations such as “Cherubs are a higher order of angels” that are based on tradition, but that is a category error that violates the law of identity.
Charles Jackson
Mr. Ammi,,,,,,Cherub >> Shorten form of Cherbium. Read Ezekiel 28 : 14, it says: You were anointed as a guardian cherub, for so I ordained you. This verse is talking about the Satan. Thanks! Please don’t take offense as this not my opinion, but from bible. What ever you write I take note of.
Ken Ammi
Mr. Jackson,,,,,,Indeed, that is why I noted that Satan is not an Angel but is a Cherub. You will find that such technical accuracy is important when, for example, you think about what topped the Ark of the Covenant, how Satan could “enter” Judas, etc. Check out my book on Satanology, if you are so inclined: https://www.amazon.com/What-Bible-About-Devil-Satan/dp/1790181674
That brought the discussion to and end as no more replies were forthcoming.
