Some people have said that they have encountered beings that are not at all evil. Ergo, it is quite possible that there are several "races" of beings here now, some of which might be considered "good."

And that kind of thinking my friend is how we end up being deceived. Satan throws in what we want to hear. There are two classes of created being (really one class)...angels and fallen angels or demons.

And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light.

I'm not going to start messing with the spirit world or believing anything like this malarkey. Don't mess with these beings.

Do as you like.

God calls us to be his soldiers. It sounds like you want to run and hide.

I don't know if you are familiar with Dietrich Bonhoeffer, but he was a German pastor who, once he found out that Hitler was evil, started warning Germans. He might have saved lives. He might have saved souls.

He had plenty of opportunities to ignore what was happening in Germany before WWII. And he had plenty of opportunities to flee to America (he had a professorship at Columbia if he wanted it).

But he stayed in Germany and developed an understanding of the enemy and spread the message to German Christians.

He paid with his life.

We may be about to enter another situation similar to what Bonhoeffer faced. It calls for discernment...and courage.
