I suspect this is an old Jack Chick saw I've heard but I just wanted to make sure.
Does the RCC teach that the gods of other religions are real spiritual beings (though only the Christian God should be worshipped)?

I see no reason that many of the gods of the Old Testament could not have been demons. |

Well, it is the teaching of Scripture... "All the gods of the pagans are demons." Psalm 95:5 |

I see no reason that many of the gods of the Old Testament could not have been demons. Yeah, that's what I figured they were. I'd just heard the RCC taught they were "something else." |
