And then there's Peter who Jesus told, "Get the behind me Satan." Here it could have been somewhat figurative, but the fact is Jesus saw Satan's hand at least in Peter's words.

And of course who can forget Moses' terrifying experience of throwing down his rod and discovering it was inhabited by a serpent? Who'da thunk it? Not a human-angel mingling, but something quite close.

It appears there are levels of angelic-human mingling: body, soul, and maybe even spirit.

I will come back to the main subject whether Satan dwells in our body. I will not deal with Gen. 6, even though personally I think that Pember made quite a compelling case. My argument will be based on them being angels.

When sons of God had sex with the sons of daughter, they produced giants - mighty men - who were higher and stronger than the rest of people. If Satan's nature entered us in the same way as of those angels, then people would become more powerful than they were. Can it be that those angels in Gen. 6 were more powerful than Satan himself that their offspring exceeded in power the offspring of Satan?

As for Satan entering Judas, it just proves that he was not in him before, otherwise no need of entering.
