To: Hebrews 11:6
I am doing a re-read (3rd or 4th time) of Michael Heiser's Unseen Realms and would have to say that I don't know if there is an identifying Biblical difference between demons, fallen angels (in general, other than those in Gen 6), evil angelic beings, "other" or "foreign" gods, etc.

There's a lot to the subject particularly when one includes what is in the Mesopotamian, Akkadian, Sumerian, Assyrian, Babylonian, etc. literature in such an analysis.

There's a whole lot more to the story than is presented in Church and most pastors won't touch this stuff with a ten foot pole.;-)

BTW, I highly recommend "Unseen Realms" if you haven't read it...though I don't necessarily agree with everything he posits. Check out the reviews at source above if you are unfamiliar with it. Very good for in context Old Testament study.

I suspect that's because it drifts rather far afield of the unadorned gospel on which they should focus. Anyway, I'll look into Heiser's offering--thanks for the referral.
