God created everything.

Not quite, you need to really look at the impact of that implication:

If demons are maquerading as aliens, they are conducting an extremely elaborate scheme on mankind.

If demons are masquerading as aliens whose messages seem to support any belief as long as it guides you away from Biblical truth, then that means Biblical truth is of paramount importance to humans.

If demons are masquerading as aliens then what you believe and accept will have eternal consequences for you and yours.

Don't dismiss this point lightly.


Excellent points - and one's I'd been trying to get across on another, similar thread. Thank you for summing it all up.

Alright, I will steer you in the right direction zirc... You have no proof that god created everything, and you have none that god even exist... so that statement which you affirmed as an absolute isnt infact an absolute, it is a belief, and you should identify it as such.

Hmmm.....let's see, what was I going to say on this matter, ah yes, can you prove it was sheer nothingness that made everything?

Atheists dismiss god to be a god, how very reliable. thumbsup.gif

Hotoke, I was not clear in that statement of the Anunnaki being found in sumarian texts. I mistakenly lumped a bunch of research into that one statement. I should have said sumarian mythology.

I grouped them together after reading quit a few documents. I’ll be honest though, I havnt studied the sumerian texts much yet. I’ve mostly just read over it, so calling the Sumerian Gods Anunnaki, may be a stretch. The Wikipedia had this to say about the Anunnaki, “The Anunnaki or Anunnaku are a group of Sumerian mythological and Akkadian deities..” “..some ancient astronaut theorists such as Zecharia Sitchin (q.v.), Sherry Shriner, Laurence Gardner and David Icke claim that the Anunnaki were in fact extra-terrestrials who came to Earth in antiquity and created or tampered with the genetic makeup of primitive mankind...”

So, far the readings I’ve done on the sumerians have been crossing with my findings on the Anunnaki. I’ve come to the opinion that there is a relationship between the Annunaki and what the bible mentions as the Anakim, the sons of Anak. If my thoughts are correct, then the Anunnaki are a race of Nephilim. If this is correct, then these fallen angles are the very same beings which theorists such as Sitchin and Icke believe are alien beings that created us.

Researching the history of the alien lineage is a very long one. Not just a quick conclusion I personally came to. Reading into this area has opened up areas of research that I had never heard of, such as these Sumerians. So in short, my apologies for posting in a way which put words in the actual Smerian texts that are not there.

you would be wrong if god is proven to exist.

You have as much right to speak in absolutes as I do to speak in absolutes about my belief. The point is, when you do talk about your belief in absolutes, you are belittling those who think otherwise and it gives the impression that you are imposing your beliefs on others. You alienate those who think otherwise, and that why you should clearly admit that it is a belief.

Well... There IS no proof of beleiving the old testament. YES, i guess we all have to assume that Jesus really lived, but that doesn't mean all the facts of the bible are true. Especially the old testament. Look, we have no proof of a god or demons or angels, and it is almost a scientific fact that we aren't the only intelligent life in the universe. Additionally, SETI might just have received signals from Intelligent life. What do you want us to beleive in??Also, I hate how you stereotype. You probably know so much about the stupid I'm a TV addict life, because you have that kind of life. Maybe it is just the well developed community I live in, but I don't know anyone that has that kind of life. It is really easy to go without movies or TV shows for months. Oh come on, who actually listens to ads? Yeah, now i do know that budwiser and verizon exsist, but why should i buy their stuff when singular and other beers might be cheaper? What a extremist opinion you have on this. We all are fasinated by what could happen, or what we might find. That is the very essense of human developement. The paper for your bible wouldn't be availible if it weren't for human curiosity. It drives us on. When we create problems, we fix them. Looking ahead is all the movie producers are doing. Making people think. People love star wars and star trek because they make you think about what's possible. That drives our curiousity to find out what really is. And finally contacting aliens would be a pretty good thing for everyone, especially if they are more advanced then us. It perfectly normal for us to beleive that aliens do exist. It is the same as people in 1492 beleiving in the new world.

If demons are real and are fallen angels (note that I am not saying I know this is the truth, I have no proof, so I am not using absolutes) who support Satan's attempt to become God, then their main mission is to discredit God. If demons came out and terrified everyone openly, then humanity wuld know it is under attack and would be prepared. The best tactic is to keep in the shadows and work different deceptions operations. This is simple guerrilla tactics. If you cannot defeat your enemy in the open battlefield, you harrass him and discredit him while remaining hidden.

well done stellar you have made it clear you don't care about what other people believe in.
you can talk in absolutes when you have proof.even though you have brought nothing to the table here.
fence sitting doesn't just relate to god it is choosing a course and going with it.
While many people like yourself are sitting around saying" prove this and prove that and you can't say that".A large percentage of the the world has begun there journey and moved on leaving people like yourself at the starting point wondering what is going on,and asking age old unanswerable questions that cannot be answered in general conversation.Ones that can only be answered by taking a leap of faith and accepting a path as an absolute way of life.Those answers become an inner knowledge not somthing you can always verbalize.You said i would alienate people by stating an absolute like "god created everything".
In my travels around the world this statement is well accepted.
I think you will find a statement like "prove it"is the one that will get you alienated.

I think your view of the religious situation is a bit skewed. Atheism is growing day by day. It would be more precise to say people have moved along leaving people like YOU at the starting point (remember... religion was the starting point in almost everything in terms of knowledge)

calling people liars is the best thing so far because if you you havn't noticed by your standards you are calling every one on here a liar because at one point or another in these forums most people have claimed an absolute.

You have also said things that don't commit to any point in particular, wich is smart if you want to be in politics.
don't be cowardice and put what you really think on the line and find out if you have any true support out there,or are you afraid to find out if YOUR faith is a bit skewed.
Your sounding a bit shaky by calling me a liar.
You have no basis for that, it is only a frustrated response.
My statement was only "god created everything"which is not alienating.
Accepted in most countries Just like master card. grin2.gif grin2.gif
YOURS was" prove it "which is alienating,
I wasn't talking about making agnostics and the rest see my point ,just that when you are in the real world and there are people willing to kill you for there belief,saying god is great will get you home,saying "prove it" will put you in a position where you find the true meaning of" Alienated."Regardless of what they believe.

I think you misunderstand what this is about. Its not about never using absolutes, its about not using absolutes about such a diverse subject as religion.

QUOTE

Not the starting point of knowlegde, but the starting point in mans quest for knowledge. For a long time when something was unknown, religion was used to explain it... up until someone stood up to the religious explanation and challenged it with logic and facts. Religion was often counter productive in the search for such knowledge. The trend, which has been established thoughout thousands of years of history, is that knowledge tends to take man away from the religious explanations, because he is more adequately equipped to answer questions and not seek religious excuses.

When you say that somthing that someone has said equates to lying you would have to forgive them for thinking you are calling them a liar ,no matter how much you dress it up.As you get older you will find that waving in the wind (as you put it )is actually a unifying state of being when you meet others on there journey.
thats not to say all who believe in the same thing,just people who have found similar answers even though they have taken different paths.
we could go round and round .
I think our difference here is simply experience.
There was a time when i was an atheist and had very similar views to you.
I always wanted proof and didn't realize that if i wanted it i would have to go and get it.
It was easy for me to say you can't prove it,when i had nothing to prove cause i didn't believe in anything.So i thought anyway.
I wish you well stellar, but honestly ,for me this is just going back to the beginning of a journey .
Its not my place to try and convince you.
Everything you have said is extremely intelligent,and makes a great deal of sense,in theory.
unfortunately there is more to life than theory.

OK, so saying God created everything is an unprovable absolute based on belief.

Using the Scientific Method, saying the universe began when an infinitesimal kernel of energy exploded due to a quantum disturbance and out of this infinitesimal kernel of energy all the matter, dark matter, and energy in the universe burst forth and began heating and cooling until all the galactic clusters, galaxies, stars, and planets were formed is also an unprovable absolute based on belief.

So, whether Christian, Moslem, Jew, agnostic, or atheist, we are all starting from a point of belief, not proof. Let's move on.

The challenge is, based on the FACT that none of us can PROVE or claim that someone else has PROVED our pet belief, can we have a discussion which will lead to an intelligent conclusion regarding the belief that aliens seem to share many qualities with the entities identified as demons throughout history.

I got interested in the Alien/UFO topic very early in my life. I would often sit with my father and his friends and listen to their stories. The evening would usually start with funny annecdotes from work, move on to moans and complaints about peers and bosses, eventually lead to funny hunting, fishing, or sport sotries, and finally move into the weird and/or scary events they had experienced or heard from a close friend. Invariably, at least one person would have a story of something seen in the sky that was obviously not a bird or plane or of "someone" glimpsed in the woods or in the distance who was not "normal". As I got older I was able to appreciate that these men were seriously sharing incidents which had shaken them to their core. They believed the stories they were telling; they were not making them up.

So, I have always known that there is more to reality than what most people will accept. I have read extensively on the subject of UFOs/Aliens and the paranormal, and for years everything I read seemed to accept that these beings were visitors from another planet. As we got better at exploring the planets in our solar system it became evident that these planets were not the homes of these beings. This discovery did not really challenge the notion that we were deailing with beings from another planet, it just made them more extraordinary because it indicated that their technological prowess went beyond what our science could comprehend.

Even more amazing was the fact that there seemed to be evidence in cave painting and later in written accounts that these beings had been on Earth for millenia. Some people suggested they were responsible for teaching mankind, other suggested they may have been involved in genetic experiments which resulted in man.

And in the last twenty years or so, several authors including some of the most dedicated UFO researchers have reached the conclusion that the aliens shared many similarities with the beings called demons, who were the angels cast out of Heaven when Satan's rebellion failed. These researchers found that one plausible explanation for the origin of these beings was that they were extradimensional travelers instead of extraterrestrial.

I base my belief that aliens are demons on the evidence presented by Christian authors, but also, in this case, more importantly on the evidence presented by authors who do not consider themselves Christians.
blieve
aliens are not demons!! "aliens" are beings from another planet that is capable of holding life. demons are evil beings created by the devil that have no soul. there is a difference.

aliens are not demons!! "aliens" are beings from another planet that is capable of holding life. demons are evil beings created by the devil that have no soul. there is a difference.



OK, you are right, within the UFO community Aliens are intelligent beings from another planet. Additionally, Demons are evil creatures, not created by the devil, but who were angels created by God who participated in a failed revolt led by the angel who is now known as Satan, the devil.

So, let's take these charged words off he table and look at the entities who have claimed to be beings from other planets even other galaxies, but who it seems have been interacting in some very weird and damaging ways with humanity for ages. Many researchers, both religious and non-religious have made the connection between these entities and the entities known as demons.

A liar is someone who knowingly tells false truths. I dont believe you realised that talking about a belief in absolutes is similar to lying, so I wouldnt call you a liar.

Changing beliefs to be in lign with the popular belief is a unifying state of being? Of course its unifying, because you're attempting to be like others!

I think our difference here is simply experience.

Using the Scientific Method, saying the universe began when an infinitesimal kernel of energy exploded due to a quantum disturbance and out of this infinitesimal kernel of energy all the matter, dark matter, and energy in the universe burst forth and began heating and cooling until all the galactic clusters, galaxies, stars, and planets were formed is also an unprovable absolute based on belief.


Indeed it is unprovable. Thats why its called a theory... science freely admits that.

(BTW, you kind of got the process wrong...)

QUOTE

So, whether Christian, Moslem, Jew, agnostic, or atheist, we are all starting from a point of belief, not proof.


Indeed, which is why its wrong for any of those to talk about the subject in absolutes.

So, Stellar, as an atheist, if I was able to present you with a being who, for argument's sake looked like a grey, but was willing to admit to you that it was in reality a fallen angel, what would you make of that?

Like i said no matter how you dress it up you are still calling people liars.
And only a minority would agree with you that talking in absolutes is similar to lying.
You misunderstand about "a unifying state of being"i have never attempted to be like anyone else and i am not part of any organised religion.I was just amazed that in my travels the amount of people i met from different faiths who had a certain type of inner knowledge which we shared.
It is hard to talk to people like yourself because you don't commit to anything.
Even in your posts you leave them open to be interpreted in more than one way so when somebody responds in a way you don't like it it leaves you angles to cover your arse.
Like i said before this is good if you want to be in politics.
But in the end there is nothing to be gained from your posts.
when you have traveled the world a couple of times get back to me and see if you still think the same .
where more alike than you think,there was a time when i always thought i was right too.

Here is just something I found on the net that I would like to share grin2.gif

We have seen the belief in UFOs, aliens, and even alien abductions grow to a point that this country, no, the world now believes more in ET than God.
Between Star Trek, Star Wars, Aliens, ET, CE3K, and newer movies and t.v. shows like X-Files and dark Skies, we are getting programed more and more to believe the government is covering up the truth and aliens visit us and abduct us.

Not true. Not aliens, but demons. What better lie could Satan facilitate on us, than to get us out of our belief and into a fear? Away from faith in God, and fear of some little grey being abducting us.
When we know it is demons, this hurts Satan, because if there are demons, there are Angels. If there is Satan, there is God. So, Satan needed a vehicle to remove his idenity and those involved with him off center. What better lie than aliens?
30 years ago you would have been put away if you said you believed in UFOs, much less had been abducted. But today, it is accepted, the lie about aliens, and abductions, more people today believe in aliens and UFOs, than God. If it were not true, then more would be spent on God and His kingdom, than on aliens and UFOs. You do not see the movie Matthew done from the Gospel Matthew as a blockbuster. And t.v. series based on God, you don't see them getting the best time slots, or having spin offs of spin offs. Ok, Touched By An Angel, is the exception, but there is no mention of Jesus in any show. I am not knocking any of these shows, most of which I watch. But they are all, except Touch By An Angel, lies...to confuse us and program us.
You don't think you are programed by t.v.? Then turn it off, and see how long you can go. And if you can go for more than a week, notice what items you purchase or who you believe in. I bet you it is all based on what you have seen on t.v.. And the sad part is, people don't see this or believe it, and when they do, they say "Oh I can handle it". Do you really think advertisers would spend billions a year for such short spots (30-60 seconds), if the ads did not work and get you to buy their product?
And if a 30 - 60 second spot seen a few times will do this, what will 24 - 48 minutes series do to you.
Read what Jesus said;

Matthew 24:24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if [it were] possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

"If [it were] possible, they shall deceive the very elect" you and I are the elect, and could He (Jesus) have meant a belief in aliens and abuctions. Isn't the belief in these things, based on great wonders and signs? Have you noticed how early drawings of demons look so much like aliens today? Maybe it is not abductions, but demonic possessions. I leave you with this to think about.

Are they aliens or demons that people are saying have abducted them?

Are they UFO's or gateways to another dimension?

Take into account that demons of the crusade period and earlier look similar to the aliens that are now being reported.

Remember Paul said

2 I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven.

2 Cor 12:2 (KJV)

The third heaven by this account is the heaven, and the first heaven is the sky we see with our eyes. It is supposed that the second heaven between our sky and the heaven, is the place where Satan is located.

In Revelation

10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.

11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.

12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.

Rev 12:10-12 (KJV)

Satan is cast down, not before Christ, not after Christ arose again, but after there were brethren Satan could accuse.

So the second heaven being another dimension and that being where Satan and the demons are, then when they travel from that dimension into ours from above could appear as light or imagine a door opening, the light shooting across the sky, stopping and then disappearing again. This could account for a lot of UFO's.

Now think about it, does Satan want man kind to know he really exist? No, of course not, because if people knew he was real they would also know God was real also. So the best thing is to use another way to mess with us than actual demons and demon possessions. And what better than alien abductions and alien experiments and torture. Think about what Satan is after, he is after our souls and to cut us off from God. If we are in fear we are cut off from God. And think about the abductions, they are tortured, experimented on and a lot of stories about reproduction. Now let's take the last first, reproduction.

1 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,

2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.

Gen 6:1-2 (KJV)

We know that by the account in Job that the sons of God refer to angels, or in this case fallen angels.

6 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them.

Job 1:6 (KJV)

1 Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them to present himself before the LORD.

Job 2:1 (KJV)

So if the sons of God (fallen angels) were marring daughters of man, then we would have a perversion and that is part of what Satan is about and is an offenses to God.

3 And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.

4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.

5 And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

6 And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.

Gen 6:3-6 (KJV)

Why else would God repent of man kind, what would of grieved Him more than the two marring and perverting what He made.

Think about it, alien abductions fit the total make up of Satan, torture, reproducing a perversion of man, and making people live in fear.

But there is another reason this fits Satan. The more we believe in some alien race that is powerful enough to come here from great distances and do what they are doing it causes a fear of them and a lack of believe of God.

And when rapture happens, and it will, the best excuse Satan's puppet the anti-christ will have is that we all were abducted. And this will fit with the need of having the number of the beast implanted in man. He will be able to convince those left behind that if they receive the implant then they could be tracked and found and not totally disappear as the first batch did. Then when the second rapture happens this will just push more to accept the Mark.

You do not believe in the rapture? Did you know there have been others already!

24 And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him.

Gen 5:24 (KJV)

11 And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.

2 Kings 2:11 (KJV)

And what about the many who were dead and arose again?

52 And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose,

53 And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.

matt 27:52-53 (KJV)

Remember God did not have the Jews suffer under all the plaques Egypt suffer under. So why should we, tribulation is a time of getting right with God, it is the last call, the last chance.

First He removes those who are His own and then allows those left for the first 3.5 years to see what it is like with man ruling without God, so those who are on the fence will finally wake up and see that man without God is not the way. Then He removes them, and the last 3.5 years is the time where it is man with Satan in charge and not God, to see that Satan is not the way. And then a final rapture and then the wrath of God falls on those remaining.

29 Imediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:

matt 24:29 (KJV)

Go and read Revelation and what all happens basically it is described in the above verse.

Think of tribulation as a time for God to get man's attention, like taking a 2 by 4 to a mule to get it to move.

But the point is that the whole believe in aliens, UFO's and abductions is serving Satan, the belief of this has grown in the past 40 years at such a rate that is shocking.

But what was that Stellar? How does dust just "exist" there to begin with? I keep asking these questions because somewhere the logic of God actually lies in the equation! How many times must it be said that God is not an object or a being by limited bounds? I mean, if he created the universe and all as we know it, why do we even ask such a question as to where he came from? He's the creator of creation! I'm going to vote for intelligent blueprint designs rather than "it just existed as mere material."

Ah but your not seeing where I'm going with this, I'm saying the nature of the atheist is superiority, it's elevating people to such a point where their intellect can explain the very fabric of the universe! Here's the important detail your missing: atheists say there was no god to begin with, and they want to explain everything by their own scientific means, thus the nature of the common atheist is to dismiss the supernatural and almighty for putting themselves in that position of knowledge, hopefully you see where I'm going with this.

You're right, and I agree with that, unfourtanetly science seems to come up with an attempt to crudely do so! Especially from an atheist perspective!

Exe11er, I want to ask you a question, do you know what demons are?

Demons were once angels, they weren't created as evil creatures with bat like wings and blood red eyes, they were created for the better good, it was by their choice they fell to becoming advesarious.

Think of it this way, you can cuss and swear about God all you want, does it mean you burn up into flames and crumble to the ground in ashes?

Free will is given to every creature, the same with angels, thus demons can be result of an angel that goes bad. yes.gif
