Wow the world has become blind. That is why everyone is always saying the end is nigh. The end is nigher every time it is said. This time though it will be grand.

"He is I & I am Him" : that which we demonize are only reflections of ourselves. allow me to explain. some people believe we are the 5th generation of inhabitants on this planet. Our universe is structure with fail safes so that if Our intellgences out weights aour Humanity then a test is issued by the Supreme beings. Our holy books tell us who and what we really are ( Torah, Koran & Bible ) they speak of "wars in heaven with the elder gods and beings like god. we suggest that although we serve god just who and what are we serving? divinty or something else. in the book of Enoch, he discribes God's appearence as well as a thier nice looking track suits. guess what happens when a high advanced civilization comes into contact with a premative group, the more advanced group is considered Gods. forgive my impretance but if you seek god in the face of the universe im sure you'll find them.

Just my two cents but when i wake up and can't move i feel intense thoughts of christ and then justification and then anger and then i'm all good. The reason i don't buy the "just paralyzed" stuff is cause i can move while i'm in the state, albeit slowly. The episodes last from 5 seconds to a minute....I don't even know i can't breathe i just get made.

That's sort of a waking dream. Your mind is still hallucinating (from your dreams).

I have them too, I just don't think of religion. Sometimes I wake up and I see my chair as a hooded cultist, sometimes I see my red back pack as a severed head. Sometime my shirt at the foot of my bed is a zombie.

I've even woken up and looked out the window to see Jesus standing on top of a chimney. I sat there for a minute, trying to talk to it. Later I discovered it was the shadow of a tree and part of the chimney viewed from an angle that gave me the perception of a robed Jesus.

It's all internal.

Is it not possible that aliens are like that too? Just from other star systems? I mean... if there's but one god, why did he not reveal himself to EVERYONE? But no... every region of earth has it's own native religions and races of people.

Because that is the mystery of life. The mystery of God would be finished in the last days. You'll see Jesus Christ for yourself and I don't think it will make you very happy. He'll probably be coming down while a bunch of UFOs, tanks, planes, and a 200 million man army are gathered into a much wider valley of Megiddo after the biggest earthquake that will ever be. That's not my opinion. That's the future.

Well I'll be. Seems like you are a bit of a prophet then huh?

Telling the future and all that?

Joshua 6:21

They devoted the city to the Lord and destroyed with the sword every living thing in it - men and women, young and old, cattle, sheep and donkeys.

...

Probably not the first incident of genocide on the order of one "God" or another, but certainly not the last that are performed under an allegedly religious reason or excuse.

I find it hard to believe, that a "just God, creator of the universe", would ever take such actions to fulfill the objectives of providing land for his (or her) "chosen people". In fact the whole idea of a "chosen people" seems dangerously close to the idea of "Aryan superiority" used by Nazi's to justify a program of genocide against the Jews. This is one reason why I believe it is more likely and more logical that the "gods" described in the bible and in other historical mythologies of the world, are possibly aliens, possessing superior technology and intelligence over the human civilizations of that time.

So it is ironic that one of the speakers at the Christian Symposium, Michael Heiser, will deliver a talk titled "Why an Extraterrestrial God Appeals to Today's Culture" as it seems that our forefather's were possibly following the orders and dictates of extraterrestrial gods, and many people may be doing so today, not knowing this to be the origins of their religion.

Of course, it could be possible that there is another explanation and Christians, Moslems and Jews are free to believe as they wish. It would be very interesting if ETs made contact who had knowledge of our past history of our planet going back thousands of years.

Being just and loving also means you will unleash punishment when it is deemed right to do so. How would children behave without even some sort of verbal discipline? It makes sense.
