Are demons saved?
1 John 4:15 says:
"Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God."
Then in Mark 1:23-24 we read the demons crying that Yeshua is the Holy One of God:
"Just then there was a man in their synagogue with an unclean spirit; and he cried out, saying, 'What business do You have with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have You come to destroy us? I know who You are—the Holy One of God!'"
How do you bring these verses together for an unbeliever?
I've decided to shut down the shop/business portion of our website. The shop doesn't make enough to justify the loads of extra tax work we have to do with the state.
No biggie, I knew that I wasn't able to put enough time towards drumming up business. So we're gonna stick with what we like to do best:
making worship music!
Parsha #metsora (Lev 14-15) demonstrates that tumah (spiritual uncleanness) is not the same as sinfulness. Most people will probably be unclean most of the time through routine contact with death, sex, menstruation, etc. Sometimes even keeping God's commandments will make a person unclean. "Be fruitful and multiply" is a mitzvah (commandment), but obedience makes you unclean. #metzora #torah
A chiastic structure in #leviticus 15 indicates that v2-3 are probably addressing male sexual function, and not just any kind of bodily discharge. There are at least two chiastic structures in this chapter centered on the transmission of uncleanness from people to things, things to people, and people to people. #metzora

“Do not keep silent, O God! Do not hold Your peace, And do not be still, O God! For behold, Your enemies make a tumult; And those who hate You have lifted up their head.
They have taken crafty counsel against Your people, And consulted together against Your sheltered ones.
They have said, “Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation, That the name of Israel may be remembered no more.””
Psalms 83:1-4 NKJV
Biblical "uncleanness" (tumah) isn't necessarily caused by sin, but by a loss of life force (nephesh behemah). The greater the loss of nephesh behemah, the greater the resulting tumah. A dead human is more tamei than a dead animal because a greater level of nephesh behemah has been lost. Unclean spirits might be "unclean" because they possess negative life force.

We don't see the actions behind it, like a Hebrew thinker would. Moses didn't believe YHWH when he struck the rock as YHWH told him afterward. Was it something mental, knowledge, faith that Moses lacked? No, it was actions. He didn't follow through with what he knew he was supposed to do.
I added believe as it is commonly thrown in there as well, but if we look at confess, we have the same issue. I can confess all day long that Yeshua is my Savior, but if I then go and oppress the poor, murder, steal, etc... what is my confession if not a falsehood?
