demon - The Modern English word demon derives from the Middle English demon: from medieval Latin demon, from Latin daemon, from Greek daimn 'deity, genius'; in demon; also from Latin daemonium 'lesser or evil spirit', from Greek daemonion, diminutive of daimn.
devils - The Modern English word devil derives from the Middle English devel, from the Old English dofol, that in turn represents an early Germanic borrowing of the Latin diabolus.
The KJV translation is not a word for word or uniquely and infallible inspired representation of the Greek New Testament, and we should be cautious in choosing which English words in it we want to make our hills to die on without first consulting the Greek.
Why the son of man?
Part 3 of 3.
Summary
The Son of Man is a title that was used exclusively by Jesus - His disciples never addressed Him as such. Jesus used it to emphasize His humanity. The title goes back to the Book of Daniel where the Son of Man would inherit the everlasting kingdom of God. It is a designation of the Messiah. At His trial Jesus acknowledged that He indeed was the Son of Man - the one who would bring in God's everlasting kingdom. When the religious leaders heard this they accused Him of blasphemy - making Himself equal with God. The purpose of the title seems to be Jesus' own emphasis on His humanity.

Side note:
The revelation of the Lord coming by miraculous birth was given to them as a sign by Isaiah. but I guess that didn't explain his humanity. after all Immanuel means God with us. Matthew 1:23.
Moreover the LORD spake again unto Ahaz, saying,
Ask thee a sign of the LORD thy God; ask it either in the depth, or in the height above.
But Ahaz said, I will not ask, neither will I tempt the LORD.
And he said, Hear ye now, O house of David; Is it a small thing for you to weary men, but will ye weary my God also?
Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. Isaiah 7:14.
I believe Jesus humanity ties to the kinsman redeemer instituted by Moses in Leviticus 25:48-49.
And you also see it carried out in the book of Ruth.
In Revelation 5:2-5. you see John weep because no one was able to loosen the seven seals. For one you had to be worthy and second you had to be a kinsman. "John was looking for a MAN" Jesus humanity qualified him.
I hope that helps.
God bless.

Why the son of man?
Part 2 of 3.
Jesus said.
The Son of Man indeed goes just as it is written of him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been good for that man if he had not been born ( Matthew 26:24).
It Is A Messianic Designation
The title "Son of Man" was a designation for the Messiah. The Book of Daniel predicted that the Son of Man would inherit God's everlasting kingdom.
And behold, one like the Son of Man, coming with the clouds of heaven! He came to the Ancient of Days, and they brought him near before him. Then to him was given dominion and glory and a kingdom, that all peoples, nations, and languages should serve him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom the one which shall not be destroyed ( Daniel 7:13,14).
Jesus Employed The Designation At His Trial
When Jesus was on trial and was asked if He were the Messiah, He referred to this prediction:
It is as you said. Nevertheless, I say to you, hereafter you will see the Son of Man sitting on the right hand of the power, and coming on the clouds of heaven ( Matthew 26:64).
This statement infuriated the religious rulers. They accused Him of blasphemy for claiming equal authority with God. It was clear to them that Jesus referred to Daniel's prophecy and hence was claiming to be the Messiah.
The Title Emphasizes That He Was Human
It seems by using the title "Son of Man" Jesus wanted to convey the truth that He was entirely human.
see part 3 of 3.
Thanks to Brother Chris I did some more research on why Jesus referred himself as the son of man in certain instances.
Part 1.
Jesus' favorite designation, in referring to Himself, was the "Son of Man." The Gospels record some seventy-eight times that Jesus used this title for Himself. For example, when He asked His disciples the question about His identity, He said,
Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am? ( Matthew 16:13).
Though the Bible does not define its exact meaning, the title "Son of Man" probably refers to the fact that Jesus was perfect humanity. He, as God, came down and lived among us as the perfect human being. By doing this, He fulfilled the Law of Moses and did what no other human being was able to do. By using this title, He is identifying with the people He had come to save.
It Is Connected With His Earthly Life
The title is connected with the earthly life of Jesus.
But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins - he said to the paralytic ( Mark 2:10).
Jesus said
So the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath ( Mark 2:28).
Jesus also said.
And Jesus said to him, "Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head ( Matthew 8:20)
Jesus gave the reason for His coming to earth.
For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost ( Luke 19:10).
It Is Connected With His Sufferings
"Son of Man" is also connected with the sufferings of Jesus on behalf of humanity.
And he began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again ( Mark 8:31).
This Speaks Of His Exaltation And Rule
The title "Son of Man" also has to do with his exaltation and rule over humanity.
When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then he will sit on the throne of his glory ( Matthew 25:31).
Adam and Eve we free to eat the fruit of every other tree but the one of the knowledge of good and evil. So it is most likely they ate from these other trees before they ate from the forbidden tree, We do not know which fruit they ate first.
In essence, praying to anyone but God is idolatry. You can certainly ask for prayer from people you know as long as they are alive in this world. but not people who have died and believed to be in heaven.
The Word says that"there is one mediator between God and man". ( 1 Timothy 2:5-6) That person is Jesus Christ, no one else, not mary, nor saint, nor loved one that has died, no statue. He is very happy to hear your prayers. He brings them before the Father and they give you the best answers to every one of them. No one else can do this.
So be assured, Jesus is sufficient for us. We have no need to turn to anyone else with our prayers or give our hearts to. Mary and they are believers just like us. God used them for His purpose and worked through them like He does with us. Their work on earth is completed now that they have died. In the resurrection we will see them and have conversations with them and maybe even have "work" to do with them in heaven in obedience to God.
But for us in this life still, we best stay away from any kind of attempts to contact those who have died.
My apology as the scripture I meant to use was
Galatians 5:13 rather than 3:13.
May make more sense!

Fascinating dialogue and a brand new line of thought for me to consider. I appreciate the time you have taken to deliberate on my question and provide me with this opportunity to widen my thinking.
Very best regards Roy
Prayer is made in the name of Jesus, who again makes our prayers acceptable to God the Father and who also interceded for us both in heaven and through the mind of the Spirit. The biblical saints and Mary are fellow members of the priesthood of believers and prayed in the same manner.
The assignment of powers to answer prayers in specific realms of life to saints and Mary as the so called queen of heaven is a thinly veiled transference of pagan polytheism under their pagan names to the names of saints and particularly Mary.
The acceptance of Christianity by Constantine caused a sudden influx of vast numbers of pagans with no interest in leaving behind their pagan roots, who only wanted to maintain their political and religious standing under their current Emporor. They easily incorporated their pagan forms into the church under new names, as they had done in renaming them when they went from Greek to Roman rule before. Mixing in elements of Christianity to legitimize their pagan hearts was a form of deceit they were very well versed in as they had blended old forms of paganism with new forms under other national and political regimes before. If persecution had been the devil's primary method of tempting and testing the church before, the seeming legitimization of Christainity in the pagan world brought in new temptations and testing as the devil shifted strategies over to the legitimization of the pagan world in the church.
Be blessed in His holy Name Jesus Christ
