1 Timothy 4:1 But the Spirit says expressly that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to seducing spirits and doctrines of demons,
4:2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
4:3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.
Seducing spirits are real and can be found throughout the bible. Many do not understand that they exist and many just don't care. There is a very dangerous seducing spirit called the spirit of perversion. It's stronghold claims many. If you search the scriptures, you can see it's handy work in several places. The ones who get ensnared by this seducing spirit usually are those who deny that God exists. But anyone who is not covered by the blood of the lamb can fall victum to it. Now, there are other seducing spirits, but I believe this one to be the worst.
Isaiah 29:15 Woe to them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the LORD, and their works are in the dark, and they say, Who seeth us? and who knoweth us?
29:16 Surely your turning of things upside down shall be esteemed as the potter's clay: for shall the work say of him that made it, He made me not? or shall the thing framed say of him that framed it, He had no understanding?
