Thank you again. Everyone.

Ok then, let's get back on subject. If you believe the stories of people being abducted are true, then you must also believe the ones where they are taken aboard their craft. Maybe you also believe the stories of recovered craft that crashed, and had dead alien bodies with it? Or maybe you also believe Bob Lazar's stories of area 51? Or the stories of the people in the Disclosure Project? Or do you just pick and choose the stories you want to believe that fit your worldview?
If you believe all of these stories then you would believe that people have seen and been inside these E.T.'s spacecrafts. You would also believe that these E.T.'s have died in crashes. If this is the case, how do demons die in crashes? Also, how do they build these spacecraft? Do they have a mine on some planet where they get the metals to fashion the craft? Do they have factories somewhere where they build the craft or factories where they make the tools they use to build the craft? Do they have demon engineers that design the craft? etc etcedit on 2-6-2012 by Hydroman because: (no reason given)
So it is possible that demons build physical craft that they fly around in, in which we have possibly captured and reverse-engineered? It is also possible that demons who were flying these craft when they crashed, had died? How did demons die? I wasn't aware they could...

The other assumption you are making here, is that because there might be a physical element to all of this, the "demonic" can't be involved. The bible is full of stories of angels walking right beside people, eating with them, physically interacting with them, etc. If angels can assume physical form and effect the physical environment around them, so can their counterparts.
I have a whole thread dedicated to this. Yes, I'm aware of the Genesis account and the Book of Enoch account. And my question remains, how are angels compatible with human women in that they can reproduce sexually with us? And if they are, can they reproduce amongst themselves? If not, why do they have the capability to reproduce? What was this god thinking when he made them?

Additionally, in the story of the Nephilim in Genesis, we are told that the "sons of God" lusted after earthly women, and had children with them. This without a doubt requires a physical interaction of some sort (and remains eerily similar to accounts of hybrid/alien breeding programs described in abduction accounts).
Have you not made assumptions in your explanations? I don't know if abductions really have taken place now or in the past. All I hear are stories with no way of verifying them to be true. I question it all.

The final assumption you have made here is that the name by which we call these entities is not interchangeable. You assume that because we are in an era where science and reason reigns, the ancients didn't know what they were talking about. We've had the "abduction phenomenon" for thousands of years. It's constantly adapted with our civilization (take stories of fairy abductions as an example). So either the phenomenon has changed to adapt to us, or we've changed to shape the phenomenon itself. Either way, we are dealing with something that isn't as easily defined as you would like it to be (i.e nuts and bolts space craft from another planet).
So it is possible that demons build physical craft that they fly around in, in which we have possibly captured and reverse-engineered? It is also possible that demons who were flying these craft when they crashed, had died? How did demons die? I wasn't aware they could...

Your last sentence should be noted. It's all speculation and I will add "hearsay".

I don't see why it wouldn't be possible. Let's not completely discard the "inter-dimensional" theory either. What are angelic beings if not inter-dimensional? As for beings dying, we have no proof either way, so this whole thing is speculation at best.
And no one can prove that angelic beings exist, much less that they're eternal beings.
Originally posted by DeadSeraph
But I would contend that if we could observe such beings dying, and analyze the corpse completely under strict medical conditions and prove that this process was that of a biological being dying naturally, that would put the issue to rest, as the bible contends that angelic beings are eternal. Such information is not in the public domain, and remains so speculative as to be open to highly unusual theories. One could easily contend that the stories of alien bodies are deceptions themselves.

"I don't know" is a great answer. More people could use it, lol.

As for your questions, the simple answer is that we just don't know. We know from scripture that the "sons of god" lusted after the daughters of men (seeing that they were beautiful), but this doesn't narrow it down for us.
From what I understand, people think angels did this to pollute our blood to stop the bible god's plan of redemption through himself (Jesus). But, if that is the case, why would they still be doing this? Didn't Jesus already come and go?

It's implied that this was sexual in nature (and hence indicates an act of procreation), but this is not completely certain. As for the ability of angels to reproduce among themselves, there is no scripture to back up this idea at all (which again, correlates eerily with the "alien hybrid" stuff we find in the abduction phenomenon). Why do aliens even need to perform sexual acts with humans? why do they need to create hybrids? The question of why still remains regardless of whether we are talking about aliens from another planet, or inter-dimensional/demonic beings. The proponents of the demonic theory contend that this was an effort to pollute the blood line/DNA of man.
Who can say that a god definitely made the universe? "I don't know" is still a good answer here...

Well at least you're not a YEC.

I contend however, that the ability for such beings to reproduce with humans is not out of the question. We are talking about entities which predate man by billions of years (having been present with God at the dawn creation, and thus his first creations).
What you say indeed could be possible. It could also be possible that none of those things happened.

Beings that can supposedly take any shape they like, manifest physically, and possess unimaginable intelligence. Enoch seems to indicate their fallen brethren even taught men various technologies. So why is it out of the question for them to have the ability to fashion vehicles or to engage in physical acts with human beings? Is it possible that you and I are talking about the same thing but seeing it from different angles, and the truth lies somewhere in between?
Cool, we are in agreement on this.

I have made many assumptions. Ultimately that's all we are left with due to a lack of data. The entire subject is conjecture at best, and I freely admit that my idea's on the subject are no more valid than anyone else's. As for questioning it all, I think that is the best policy and I try to do the same

for some reason its easier for some ppl to believe in aliens who fly here from light years away only to remain strangely standoffish than to believe in 'angels and demons'....
oh...it must be because aliens dont require a moral commitment.....angels and demons correlates to god and the bible and oooh we really dont wanna go there do we.......
And no one can prove that angelic beings exist, much less that they're eternal beings.

But, if that is the case, why would they still be doing this? Didn't Jesus already come and go? From what I understand with E.T.'s producing hybrids, it's because they can no longer reproduce, so they're trying to create some kind of "being" related to them that can reproduce to help continue their species. I figured they could just use their own genetics and dna, if they are that advanced, to produce more of themselves...

I agree.

It does? Here's what Genesis 6: 5-7 says, " 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. And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. And the Lord said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them."

This is probably worth it's own thread. In the case of the Christian perspective, we have a clue in something Jesus said when he talked about the time of his return: "As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man." The one thing that stands out about the days of Noah, is the account of the Nephilim. Scripture seems to indicate the flood was less about punishing mankind, and more about wiping out the Nephilim and preserving purely human lineage.
Fair enough. Do you think Jesus was a hybrid? Just curious...
Originally posted by DeadSeraph
Why would fallen angels be at this again? Some contend it is an effort to further their own plans for earth (by seeding it with wickedness), while at the same time preparing for the Anti-Christ (who would be a hybrid himself). The idea being that in our age of reason, a direct approach would be all too obvious, so it is better that people believe that space aliens are behind all of this (lest their eyes be open to the truth, and people turn to God). Again, this is nothing but speculation, but there are biblical reasons behind why this would be occurring again.
But you think angels CAN reproduce with us??? That doesn't make sense. At least the Aliens would be using advanced technology to make hybrids, where angels are actually having sex with us and somehow producing offspring with us...but can't with each other....
Originally posted by DeadSeraph
As for the theory that the aliens can't reproduce among themselves, Well... Neither can angels
I agree, it's speculation. It may also be to sell books and videos...
Originally posted by DeadSeraph
The aliens (and contactees) themselves seem to contend that this is the case (again, wild speculation). Where they differ with Christians is on the issue of Christ being the resurrected living Son of God.
Cool, I admit that I don't know jack diddly either.

Why throw a god into the mix? Because you can't think of any other way it might have happened?

I lean towards evolution and the big bang theory being guided by God, however.

All paranormal is demonic? Can you prove this? Can you even prove that paranormal activity is indeed real, and not a product of the imagination?
Originally posted by randyvs
UFOs and aliens belong to the PARANORMAL. They exhibit the same principals in mischief mind f__k as ghosts, bigfoot, elves, poltergiests. What have you ? All the paranormal is Demonic. Designed to confuse, conflict and confound the word of God. If people don't see that as plain and simple as it is ? They set them selves up for this grand illusion.
We should go on a date.
God does not have to exist for the paranormal to exist. But, I'm not sure if that's what you meant. For example, if people actually are seeing ghosts, or something like that, how do we know it's not from an affect from messing with time? What I mean by that is how do we know someone somewhere hasn't found a way to manipulate time, and it has caused ripples which allows us to periodically see people from the past, present, or future, or whatever? Just an idea.

We're speaking in terms of human experience categorically. The paranormal exists. See how you start a chain reaction of eliminations when you try to perform the God does not exist argumentation ?

Can you give an example of what you're talking about? I guess I don't know what you're trying to say...

Exactly. The Possibility of Mother Marie being made pregnant with some pill, injection via abduction (no woner so many pictures drawn have some UFO on them - people have been seeing UFOs from previous centuries ago) is times more logical than 'magic' and believing in angels and demons.
Those dellusional christian boys should give up, if the events happened they are clearly representing other beings on higher frequency and very high technologicall and yes - spaceships as well. Ancient Astronaut Theory is actually to give an end to this ridiculous explanations through religion where there is no change and development
- repeat like a parrot, go centuries ago and the same explanations, those religious fanboys never bothered to ask questions, they just acceoted and believed without questioning, I say eliminate religion globally and it will be better
Can you even prove that paranormal activity is indeed real, and not a product of the imagination?
