    I wholeheartedly agree.
    So the question is: do you find gods, whom we consider to have been fictional or demonic powers to be fit subject for literature?

    • Mark Carver says:

      I think so, but not if they are portrayed as having any power over God, Christians, or Biblical truths. This would only apply to Christians, of course. But in terms of something like Thor vs. Loki, then no problem. Even if their namesake has been associated with demonic power, they’re just fictitious characters to those of us who know the truth.

  2. Steve Courteol says:

    See Ps 82. Consider the Nephilim. And consider the idea that we fight not against flesh and blood but against principalities and powers in high places….. So there is a hierarchy of some type, somewhere, of a greater power than us. And a demon who can make a snake out of a stick is a force that we do not see here on earth today….I think…

    • Mark Carver says:

      There is only the one God. There are rulers and powers and principalities but they are created by and ruled over by Jehovah. As far as we mortals are concerned, who or what they are is irrelevant because we are commanded to worship and glorify God alone. The romanticized Greco-Roman pantheon does not exist. The rules of Ps. 82 or the Nephilim of Genesis 6 are certainly awesome supernatural forces but they deserve no worship or reverence from us. There is one God and many powers and us mortals, but the distinction between God and those powers is as infinitely vast as the distinction between God and mortal man.

What do you think?
