Demonic Evil

James 1-3

How do you define demonic evil? What class of actions fall into the category of demonic evil? If you are like most people a class of actions comes to mind that are reminiscent of witches and the occult, or gruesome violence, but the Bible has a different depiction of demonic evil... jealousy and selfish ambition are identified by James as examples of demonic evil. That we don't have a similar definition probably says more about us... like wanting to excuse our sin as minor, than it does to refute James. A righteous understanding of God's commands to us will bring us to a similar understanding.
