Demons They are behind the false gods of the world They are also behind false doctrines (along with men) They have no power beyond the (lust of the) flesh Their earthly presence was just for Jesus to overcome Mark 1:27 - They were all amazed, so that they debated among themselves, saying, "What is this? A new teaching with authority! He commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey Him."
