Dirk Vander Ploeg, the Publisher of UFO Digest, recently asked me if I knew of alien abductions having been stopped by the utterance of the name of Jesus. He told me that 'apparently this information is being withheld by Mufon and other reporters, investigators etc.'
I reminded him that I had written about the possibility of such occurrences in several articles including, Extraterrestrials Tremble at the Name of Jesus, UFO Digest March 29, 2007, and more recently The Birth of Christ caused the Extraterrestrial Extraterrestrials Tremble at the Name of Jesus, UFO Digest March 29, 2007, and more recently The Birth of Christ caused the Extraterrestrial Fallen Angels to Tremble December 3, 2008.
The word of God tells us that demons (as well as fallen angels, i.e. extraterrestrials) tremble at the name of Jesus (James 2:19) because God highly exalted Him and bestowed on Him the name which is above all names (Philippians 2:9). At the name of Jesus, every knee shall bow of those on the earth, and those under the earth and every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father (Philippians 2:10).
My own article last year, My Anonymous CIA Source: The Real Story of UFOs, UFO Digest, 6/16/08, revealed that my source in Washington who worked for the CIA for 25 years after working, I believe, for the top secret Operation Paperclip after WWII which brought Nazi scientists to America, some of whom were supposedly involved in flying saucer research, and who was in charge of security for President Kennedys visit to Germany in the early sixties, and was confidant to later Presidents, told me to stay with my UFO writings about the Bible. He then told me that you have the truth. All else is opinion. This statement from a man whom I trust and who served in the highest echelons.
No, I wasn’t agreeing or disagreeing with anything. I haven’t had time to read it at all. I was only curious about RaceBannons reaction, if he had one.
THANKFULLY,
You are
100%
EMPHATICALLY WRONG
on ALL those counts.
“I hace serious doubts that even 1% of all claimed demonic posessions are genuine”
I would say the Bible is right, and all men are liars
but clearly, the charismatic gifts of today are either a mass delucion or a demonic lie
Your choice.
I wont say I havent heard of them in those aras, but when people in the US and Europe claim everything is from a demon when it is just the result of man’s fall in Eden or just a common cold..well...That is just not Biblical
I believe that a lot of anorexia and other such “disorders” are demoniacally influenced.
I also believe that unclean spiritual attack is rife in liberal church pulpits including the “emergent church” movement, or especially in that movement.
Satan and his hoards want us to take them lightly. They are willing to tread lightly, too, working little-by-little to build strongholds where people thought that Christianity was too strong an influence against them . . . the USA and Europe.
Attributing things of Holy Spirit to satan is EXTREMELY ETERNALLY HAZARDOUS.
THANKFULLY,
Someone with an experience [more so 50+ years of experienceS] need never feel at the mercy of someone with merely an idiotic UNBIBLICAL argument.
You obviously haven’t had it rain on 4 sides of a drying hayfield of desperately needed hay but not on the field in answer to a quick prayer.
You obviously haven’t seen a twister bring tin barn roofing up toward an adobe mud hut and see the sea of tin form virtually a straight line about 1.5” from the hut and no closer.
You haven’t prayed forcefully for a falling down drunk woman to sober up and seen her instantly sober up to her great shock.
Just to mention a few.
Such a perspective if pitiable to the max.
God have mercy.
Your world view is going to be shattered in some major chunks and areas in coming months and years. I hope degree of authentic Biblical faith IN GOD you may have survives.
Right you are.
However,
there are a lot of folks who are victims of ATTACHMENT DISORDER . . . and who’s sense of low self-worth historically has resulted in . . . how to put it . . .
a hyper-tidy-boxed-pseudo sort of Christianity were-in God and everything theological is reduced to some sort of more or less anemic unSupernatural thin gruel . . . usually with very brittle, rigid and narrow boundaries.
There’s little room in such a schema for demonic forces acting out.
More sadly, such folks relegate Holy Spirit to a bit player 2000 years ago. HOW HIDEOUS!
GOD IS ALIVE AND WELL ON PLANET EARTH. AND HE’S GETTING QUITE READY TO BLOW MORE THAN SOCKS OFF WITH REPEATED SUPERNATURAL DEMONSTRATIONS GREATER THAN HAVE EVER STRUCK THIS PLANET SINCE CREATION.
Folks who’s theology doesn’t allow for that are likely to be severely shaken.
God is CERTAINLY going to shake all that can be shaken. ALL THE DROSS AND CHAFF will be blown/burned away wholesale.
Seems to me I've heard that rhetoric before, somewhere . . .
And attributing thigs to Satan which are just human nature are dangerous, too
People are quite capable of sinning without Satan being involved, we also are suffering the effects of Adam’s fall more than Satanic oppression, let alone posession
to run around like Benny Hinn or whoever and claim that demons are the problem when the problem is sinnners who reject God is bad theology.
By the way, I doubt that may of the things you described didn’t happen, either.
but then, I wasn’t there.
Attributing things of Holy Spirit to satan is EXTREMELY ETERNALLY HAZARDOUS.
and vice versa.
“Delivering” a demonic force that’s not ‘really’ there
is not near as big a problem as
NOT delivering one that is there . . . because of bad theology.
Any intensely obsessive serious sin; chronic strong anger etc. likely has a demonic component.
Resisting the enemy until he flees is great.
Sometimes more umph in prayer is wise.
Ignorance in this area is far from bliss.
Hmmmmm . . .
you “doubt” they “didn’t” happen.
???
That means you believe they happened?
That would be wise . . . they did.
Or are you calling me a liar?
I was there.
INDEED.
Not something I engage in . . .
You can be as wrong as you want
bttt
It’s soooooo comforting when
a bystander is as ignorant of me as they are of the topic.
LOL.
THX THX.
BTW,
PLEASE, when the stuff breaks out into public life wholesale,
have someone use one of those cameras always at hand to take a pic of your face.
