Christian Symposium Offers Different Take on Aliens at Roswell UFO Festival
Christian News Wire ^ | 5/12/2009

Posted on 05/12/2009 6:58:19 AM PDT by SonOfDarkSkies

ROSWELL, New Mexico, May 12 /Christian Newswire/ -- Alien Resistance, a Christian counter-cult outreach ministry, will hold an all-Christian-speaker Symposium on aliens during the annual Roswell UFO Festival July 3-5th, 2009. The 11 participants include 4 PhDs, 2 doctorates of ministry, 2 pastors, 2 ordained ministers, and several pastoral counselors, with 12 books written between them on the UFO/Alien topic. The Symposium will educate on the UFO/alien topic from a Biblical Christian perspective, with emphasis on counter-cult evangelism, creationism, and spiritual warfare. The event is free for the public to attend, and will be held at the Best Western Sally Port Inn Ballroom. Tens of thousands of people interested in the UFO/Alien topic are expected to attend the Roswell UFO/Alien Festival this year.

Organizers assert that, "From a Biblical Christian perspective it becomes clear that 'aliens' are actually the evil spirits of the Bible. This idea is backed up experientially with the evidence of numerous testimonies of 'abductees', which show that 'alien abduction' experiences stop in the name and authority of Jesus Christ. Also the sinful behaviors of the 'aliens' behind abductions, the false gospels and new age messages they proclaim, and their supernatural powers so very reminiscent of those described in the Bible as being had by angels, all adds up to make clear that 'aliens' are in fact the evil spirits of the Bible."

Participants will include: William Alnor Ph.D., author of "UFOs in the New Age" and "UFO Cults in the New Millennium"; Gary Bates, from Creation Ministries International Australia, author of "Alien Intrusion: UFOs and the Evolution Connection"; Mike Bennett Ph.D., demonology researcher and host of "FutureQuake" Nashville-based Christian FM talk radio program; Pastor Russ Dizdar, Cult and Occult survivors specialist and deliverance minister; Joe Jordan O.M., alien abduction researcher and deliverance minister; Michael S. Heiser Ph.D., doctor in Hebrew Bible and Semitic Languages and author of "The Facade"; Guy Malone, author of "UFO Phenomena and the Bible"; Mrs. Malone, author of "A Modern Guide to Demons and Fallen Angels"; L.A. Marzulli D.Min., author of "Politics, Prophecy, and the Supernatural"; Pastor Chris Ward D.Min., deliverance minister and author of "Case Files of an Internet Exorcist"; and Stephen Yulish Ph.D., author of "The Real Story of UFOs."

You seem to have pride in your common sense.

Shouldn't I? Or should I try to be more like leftists and denizens of mental wards, and throw critical thinking to the wind?

Oh well, I don't mix space aliens with religion, though some of you New Age types do. When hoaxters claim that space aliens are vandalizing farmland or buggering helpless souls at three in the morning, and it's Satan's bidding, I want concrete proof.

That’s one of the things that’s increasingly getting me about the carnival barkers who keep shopping the nonsense of space aliens coming through the walls to see if you have anal warts.

Why don’t those supposedly advanced bug eyed freaks look over your lungs instead? How abut they cure your losing your hearing from old age? Fix your eyesight? Heart? Cure cancer?

But no, they’re only interested in your behind?! And they’re third world amateurish at staying out of sight.

Now is all that's real, Quix. To fret and worry over a "future" that's been implanted by the carnival barkers, is what kind of error?

I have a lot of sympathy with that perspective.

However, Genesis 6 speaks of nephilium/fallen angels/watchers.

Evidently those with bodies on earth given war tools to man and sleeping with human women

REALLY angered God a LOT.

He wiped that bunch out in Noah’s flood where they lost their bodies and became demons seeking what or whomever they could inhabit.

Not all the 1/3 fallen angels were in that bunch. Evidently plenty were still zipping around in space etc. and have been plaguing the earth with various nefarious schemes building toward the END TIMES world government for millenia.

. . . setting up the GREAT DECEPTION . . . so great, that were it possible, the very elect would be deceived.

. . . and . . . again . . . there’s that giving war making technologies to man and having sex with humans . . .

other than the immorality of that, there seems to be something specific about it that outrages God.

Some speculated that before Christ, they were busy trying to pollute the gene pool so that the perfect Savior could not be born. No one seems to know what they are up to with their hybridizing program now.

. . . . unless it’s trying to shoe-horn in on the soul aspect of humans for some reason.

The things in Scripture necessary for establishing and maintaining a relationship with God are quite simple enough.

Yet, some things God deliberately hid to be dug out with much study. GOD DID THAT.

Then at some point, you have to explain to yourself . . .

what these “good, nice, wonderful ET’s . . .

who, incidentally . . . mutilate humans just like they do cattle—with the human alive without anesthetic as long as possible . . . force sex on humans . . . take babies from mothers’ wombs at the end of the first trimester . . . etc. etc. etc.

. . . at some point, I hope you’d see the need to explain to yourself . . .

what these WONDERFULLY NICE ET’s are doing helping satan set up and maintain a very tyrannical, ruthless, demonized world government predicted in Scripture . . . and along the way . . . declaring that they bio-engineered Jesus (and staged his miracles with technology) and all other religious figures of history for social engineering purposes etc. etc.

Paul said that if an angel from Heaven came preaching any other Gospel, he must be considered accursed.

That verse does NOT take knowledge of Greek to understand quite plainly.

JoJo, you KNOW I’m not at all New Age in my orientation.

Sheesh.

There have been examples of their curing lung diseases and cancers on their ‘cattle’ . . . lab rats . . . humans.

Pontificating without awareness of the literature is a weak position to write from, JOJO.

If you are 100% convinced that some future NOW will not have the least bit of a negative consequence for you in this whole topic area . . . I guess we have nothing else to offer you.

So, you think those are the "good ones"? I take that bunch as the ET equivalent to Muslims or something. There are very rotton humans who mulilate other humans using various sorts of instruments. Those folks aren't demons or anything of the supernatural sort. It follows that the same traits humans exhibit are sure to be exhibited by ET races. Surely you follow that parallel.

Now, for Genesis: It says, "The sons of God"..." That does not say "angels", or any of the other terms you applied. Jesus is referred to in exactly the same way. This tells me that there is a lot more to the story that isn't in the Bible. The Bible isn't a Universal Cookbook of The Universe". It is dedicated to the mission of Christ. People who read outside of that are in for some surprises.

Horse plop.

If space aliens are here in supposedly such numbers then why haven't they set up their own little Mayo Clinic? Why haven't they brought us cures to many things, instead of being so Freudianly obsessed with our bungholes? Why don't they obsess with the sphincters of alley cats or salmon?

And don't say anything nonsensical like "Prime Directive", because they're pathetically backwards in the art of camouflage.

I don’t think that we’ve “sparred”, or at least I can’t remember it, because you seem to have a religious belief that’s tempered, unlike so many of the New Age’ers who don’t know or care that some of their sources include tarot card readers and psychics and astrologers, etc. Flying saucers have been mixed in with all the other historically questionable stuff.

What’s next - the Grey’s phone sex hotline?

I’ll to a degreee agree with you that aliens are part of the family. I think that they’re Freudian abstractions, wants, desires, for the same reason a Superman or a Wonder Woman was created. Sadly, the mentally disturbed have co-opted some of it, such as the late night proctology sessions, the kidnapping of fetuses, etc.

Not sure where the communications break down is occurring.

Let me say again as simply as I know how:

I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT ANY

of the 57, 70, 90 whatever number of races of “ET’s” fallen angels/ nephilium/ watchers . . .

are GOOD. NONE OF THEM.

PRIMARILY, SCRIPTURE EXHORTS US TO CONSIDER SUCH CRITTERS ACCURSED BECAUSE:

They are NOT NICE BECAUSE THEY PREACH A DIFFERENT GOSPEL AND NEUTER CHRIST’S DEITY WHOLESALE.

2ND because they are clearly in cahoots with satan toward setting up and maintaining the AntiChrist’s one world government as predicted in Scripture.

That’s the bottom line.

In addition, they are NOT NICE in their normal treatment of humans. Sometimes they will be nice in the way a farmer may be nice to the calf he’s going to butcher but that’s a bit of a different definition of nice.

Even government types who work around them exclaim about how they chronically LIE, LIE, LIE. Why the government has ever trusted them about anything is beyond me.


It appears that you have a very sizeable NEED to construe these critters as NICE. I hope you get over it. IT’s UNBIBLICAL and spiritually eternally dangerous.

Ask them.

They may well do so on condition of humans accepting sterilization and the computer Mark of the Beast chip implant.

JoJo, I’m sorry . . . I like several things about you . . . including your pluck.

However, your assertions are soooooo extremely askew from hard learned reality, I’m not sure I have much to offer you nor much left to enjoy in the exchanges—particularly when you tend to be so arbitrarily and willfully blind to so much evidence.

Just how I see it.

Cheers.

The greys stink. There are others that do not "rub butts" with the Feds, so the Feds wouldn't know so much about them. Then again, our own government is LIES, LIES, LIES. How is that different from ETs?

The point I am making is that ETs do not seem any more evil to me than humans. We are just as much a demon species as any ET I've read about. Why assign ETs some special significance just because they know more about physics than we do?

They are NOT NICE BECAUSE THEY PREACH A DIFFERENT GOSPEL AND NEUTER CHRIST’S DEITY WHOLESALE.

My experience with the clergy does not give me any confidence in some "Direct From God" status of the Bible. After all, it was the clergy that was the "keeper" of the scrolls for a very long time. They have a vested interest in dictating what we believe because our billfolds follow us into church each Sunday.

Furthermore, I can read the Bible myself. I can tell you that not a single passage in it makes me believe the ETs and demons/Nephilim/etc connection. It is a total stretch of language to make that so.

Ya see, Quix, this is more of the stuff which gives me trouble about the flying saucer movement. It has way too much human fears woven into it. And why would space aliens be so worried about our being sterilized? Aren't we supposed to be carrying their babies for them?

He gives every sign of gearing up for a LOT of UFO disclosure—of course, furthering the GREAT DECEPTION.

Hideous.

Thx.

I may not have anything else to help you with, then.

It appears that your mind is thoroughly convinced of your own construction on reality.

You have been warned of the realities involved and their eternal implications. My hands are clean.
