Today, I (whom am missionary baptist) and my collegue (who is a catholic) were discussing the return of Christ to this earth and what might possibly cause the world to unite against him. The answers we came up with was an alien invasion. Now it seems to me that since 1985 when President Reagan convened the entire UN in response to the threat of alien invasions, that there has been an increase in alien invasion movies and television programs from that day forth.

I'm kind of curious, are you a missionary, or an archeologist? You state in another thread you started that you were an archeologist, and in that thread you started the query of whether all Gods in history were in fact the same God. (See the link to that thread below)

It also amazes me how Christians have jumped on this Alien=Nephilim bandwagon in the last 20-30 years or so, as if trying to fill the inconsistencies of their bible. I think as the Sumerian texts become more mainstream, there is no other way the Christian faith can hold fast to its beliefs unless they slowly incorporate the fact that we were genetically engineered by an advanced race.

Wrong again, because you don't know. Its nothing more than speculation, thats all any of it is. It boils down to what you can believe and what you can't.

You're exactly right. We can't assume that any E.T. life that visits Earth is going to be malevolent. That's just foolish.
In my opinion, I am convinced that there are other beings like Jesus in the Universe, and probably whole civilizations that are equal to or greater than his capabilities. Jesus himself said that mankind had the potential to do greater things than him, and I truly believe we do.
So any civilization that comes to Earth that would be way older than we are have more than likely harnessed this potential that Jesus himself said was harnessable. In other words, aliens might be indistinguishable from Gods.
Youre missing the message entirely. It's not that aliens are real. What we think are aliens are really angels and fallen angels,
and that this so called "alien invasion" is not an alien invasion, it is merely subterfuge to enable the Son of Perdition (that may be Nephilim) to unite those of humankind who refuse to serve the Lord and insure their own destruction. Satan knows he cannot hope to win against the Lord. Christ is going to slap him down and lock him up for 1000 years and there is nothing he can do. Satan's goal is to take as many humans to hell with him as he can. Think of it like a suicide bomber diving into a pack of people to take as many to death with him, or like some guy with a machine gun in a gun battle with the cops trying to go down in a blaze of glory.
This alien invasion is a smokescreen so the Son of Perdition can gain control and be the sole ruler of the entire world. Think of it like a one world country where each nation in this country is really just a state, the way the United States is really just a coalition of allied seperate states.

So we are given some choices:...We can be a slave to.... ALMIGHTY God.
We can be a slave to....Satan god.
We can be a slave to....Aliens.
We can be a slave to.....Man.
Well I choose freedom and if I die.... I will thank goodness....because the other choices suck.

I agree wholeheartedly. When we (and yes I mean you and me and your catholic friend, we're all different parts of one body) are raptured, what other explaination will those who don't believe have to explain the sudden disappearance of millions of believers in Christ. It can't be that stupid mythology that the Bible warned us about. It must have been a mass alien abduction! It will cause them to accept a one world leader, with all the right answers, the antichrist, and a one world mark and currency. We can't know for sure, but it makes as much sense that the rapture would be explained away by that, than anything else. Especially since we've all be conditioned by the entertainment and mass media toward ET's existance. If they don't believe in Christ, what other explaination could there possibly be?

I have an answer to this question. Relative to aliens, we are aliens. Are all of us 'bad guys'?

Depends on what criteria you use. And as this kind of phenomena can be restricted by the various premises of the perspectives used, I will take the simplest and most general answer:
From first-hand contactees.
In the context of this thread, it's ofcourse meaningless to insist on a thorough hard-science perspective; there is little scientific evidence made publicly available, and from christian aliens=demons direction it's common to reduce whatever physical evidence there is to other causes, so as to create a scenario fitting to christian claims.
So what we have left, is what's used in social sciences, ...... human observations and comparative analyses. With whatever sprinklings of possible pragmatic testing.
I'm aware, that this answer is very general, but then you asked a general question. Should you wish to follow it up, feel free. I'll only be glad to bring ANY, even slightly factual aspects to this thread.
For whatever it's worth from different perspectives, there is a lot of observations on 'aliens' (depending which precise definitions), not only the narrow one expected to be exclusive for this thread. In spite of the extensive material, sadly enough very un-coordinated material. (Which I will blame on both former times 'scientism' and religious othodoxy not wanting other 'answers' than accepted dogma).
Criticism of my (mini)-'methodology' here is welcome too.edit on 26-8-2011 by bogomil because: syntax, typo
That's for those left behind to explain away.
15 And he that talked with me had a golden reed to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof.
16 And the city lieth foursquare, and the length is as large as the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs. The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal.

How do we know that we can use humanity as a yardstick by which to judge an alien race or races we've never met or really know a single thing about?
True, humanity is all we have but all that speaks to is how much we don't really know.
