Notes on "Unclean Spirits"

In Mathew 10:1 Jesus gives his twelve disciples power over "unclean spirits". These unclean spirits are also known as fallen angels or demons.

The word "Unclean" is translated from the Greek word Akathartos which means "1. not cleansed, unclean a.in a ceremonial sense: that which must be abstained from according to the levitical law b.in a moral sense: unclean in thought and life." Akathartos - KJV Greek Lexicon

To Understand my faith better I have decided to construct these pages. They are strictly educational, non-commercial and to foster scholarly discussion. All Bible quotes are from the King James Version unless otherwise stated. I use the KJV because while not a perfect translation it is literal and out of Copyright. All mistakes are my own and if you differ from my thoughts I welcome your comments. J. Barry O'Connell Jr.
