We can't see, feel, hear, taste, sense, or smell the millions of voices travelling all around us via cellphones. We can't see the radio waves, but they are there. But they are there. Some people immediately reject the idea of angels and evil spirits all around us, because we can't see them. Of course, the Bible says otherwise.

You wrote,[...Lou...makes a great point...who is behind...the Bible says...].
Where do we go for these answers? In the scriptures that the Jews use,in the book called Isaiah, the 8th chapter, the 19th verse reads,
[...And when they say to you, Seek them that have familiar spirits, and wizards that peep, and that mutter:could not a people seek their God instead?...].
