(1Tim. 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.

People often base their religious teaching about demons (demonology) on sayings of demons themselves. It is a wrong way, because demons lie or tempt.

However in modern Christianity (later times) many demonologists have started to base their teaching about demons on reversing what demons say. They think that if a demon says something then the truth is the reverse.

No, it is also wrong. This way so called teaching about spiritual world is indeed yet based on the teaching of demons themselves (even being reversed). Demons understand this and sometimes say a truth, expecting that theologists will reverse what they say and so get lie.

Sadly, it is that way how in modern religion are established teachings about demons and even about anything spiritual, that is based on what demons themselves (and demonic religions) teach (doctrines of demons). So called demonology is what Bible calls doctrines of demons. It is considered as the normal Christian way of teaching, but it is wrong!

Accordingly 1Tim. 4:1 basing demonology on sayings of demons themselves is falling away of faith. Some have fall away of faith because of the demonology. It is a very bad thing. (The so called demonology is a bad thing.) We categorically should stop the practice of basing any teachings about spiritual reality on sayings of demons. But instead we need to base it on true revelation (Bible).

1Tim. 4:1 teaches to not pay attention to sayings of demons. These are temptations anyway, whether they are accepted as a truth or deemed a lie and reversed. Do not pay attention to sayings of demons, pagan prophets, etc., do not believe the demonology or teaching about spiritual world which is based on what demons say (even if reversed as some theologists deem enough to clean this defiled teaching, but it is not enough).

We should base on true Christian revelation. We should not base our teaching on pagan revelations as it is commonly done.
