The Inevitability of Salvation and the Impossibility of Becoming a Demonic Entity
Within the realm of religious and mythological beliefs, the concept of becoming a demon on earth is often a topic of much controversy and debate. Though it is a subject that is frequently discussed, especially in religious and speculative literature, there are several fundamental misconceptions that need to be addressed.
Angels and Demons: A Divine Classification
Only angels can ever become demons, a scenario that, historically, has occurred but is impossible to repeat in the future. According to many religious texts and beliefs, when humans are condemned, they go to a place often referred to as 'hell,' but they do not become demons. Similarly, neither demons nor damned souls can be saved once they have been condemned.
The Possibility of Becoming a Chimera
Humans cannot become demons through natural or supernatural means, such as hybridization between humans and angels. The idea that injecting oneself with angel, demon, or animal DNA could create a chimera body, thereby severing one's connection to divine salvation, is based on a misunderstanding of both biology and theology. If a human were to engage in such actions, they would indeed be cut off from the gift of salvation through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross.
The physical body and soul are intrinsically linked; altering one has profound effects on the other. By altering one's DNA and creating a chimera body, the human soul would no longer be in the image of God but would transform into the image of the beast. This soul would become a permanent wanderer, having no fixed destination, freely inhabiting the bodies of lost souls who have chosen to open themselves up to possession or random animals. The judgment on such a choice would be irreversible, not because the act of becoming a chimera was inherently damnable, but because the soul would no longer seek to repent and the Holy Spirit would be permanently barred from inspiring or convicting the soul to do so.
Rebellion and the Loss of Salvation
The chosen path would lead to permanent rebellion against God. Given the option, the soul would prefer to rebel and no longer desire God's grace. In contrast, demonic oppression or possession, which is a different state altogether, is a temporary condition that can be easily remedied by seeking and invoking God's help and accepting Jesus Christ as the savior.
Demonic Not Fallen Angels
A clarifying note is necessary regarding the distinction between demons and fallen angels. Fallen angels, often referred to as demons in common parlance, were once angels who fell from grace through rebellion against God’s will. In contrast, demons are disembodied spirits that were the Nephilim before the flood. Unlike humans, their souls were not taken to Sheol or Paradise. Instead, they reside in a liminal state, and many believe that Paradise, a subterranean holdover spot for souls awaiting the coming of the Messiah, is either abandoned or used for souls who did not hear the gospel but were not willfully wicked during their lifetimes.
Conclusion
The belief that a person can become a demon through human intervention is akin to a misunderstanding of both religious and scientific truths. Individuals can be safeguarded by seeking and imploring God, and the ultimate salvation through Jesus Christ remains available, as opposed to the irreversible state of becoming a demonic entity.
