Aliens are 'demons' created by evil powers to feed on human passions, say scholars
mirror.co.uk ^ | Steven White

Posted on 09/08/2022 4:11:30 AM PDT by RoosterRedux

A leading Catholic scholar claimed that alleged alien abductions stories have parallels with people who say they have encountered demons.

Theologian Dr Paul Thigpen went on to add that aliens are in fact more than likely " demons ".

He also said that the US government know more than they publicly state in relation to UAPs ('Unexplained Aerial Phenomena' - a US military term for UFOs ).

Dr Thigpen told the National Catholic Register: “With UAP we may actually be dealing with extraordinary phenomena of various origins despite similar characteristics.

“Extra-terrestrial hypothesis – the notion that we are encountering non-human intelligences from locations in this universe beyond Earth - best accounts for many UAP.

“The diabolical hypothesis – that they are demons – best accounts for some UAP reports, especially some of the so-called alien abductions’ that demonstrate clear parallels with what the Church knows as demonic encounters.”

These comments come after the US government last year reported on 144 UFO sightings by military pilots since 2004, with only one being explained away as a balloon and the rest "largely inconclusive".

No I’m not obtuse. What I sought was WHY and HOW you developed those opinions.
/\
\/

Oh come on, how and why
are NOT “ what “ you asked for,

you asked for
“ indisputable references”.

You ARE being obtuse, on purpose.

My original post stated why and how.

My references were bible verses , do you dispute those verses being in the bible ?

As for the math for why interstellar travel of beings is scientifically impossible I refer you to khouse.org and the genesis commentary written by Dr.Missler , an engineer who designed the computer system for the b1 bomber smoking other things.

But just in case you missed my reasoning for how and why, I’ll repost it again.

1/3 of all the angels were chucked out of heaven.

All Angels can take physical form

Heb 13:2 - Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some have unwittingly entertained angels.

As a creature or an object

Exo 7:10 - So Moses and Aaron went in to Pharaoh, and they did so, just as the LORD commanded. And Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh and before his servants, and it became a serpent

Exo 7:11 - But Pharaoh also called the wise men and the sorcerers; so the magicians of Egypt, they also did in like manner with their enchantments.

Exo 7:12 - For every man threw down his
.
.
rod,...( object).....
.
.and they became.....
... serpents...( creature),,, ..
..
..But Aaron’s rod swallowed up their rods.

/

Science proves distances are to great for interplanetary travel

So there are no aliens

If something
(aleins/spacecrafts)

is visiting our leaders and deceiving them as to who and what they are

It’s fallen angels.

So if you wonder why world leaders beleive what they beleive,

That the world will end if man doesn’t fight climate change and start eating bugs

it’s probably cuz these things that they wouldn’t have beleived in if they hadn’t seen ,,
,these aliens and their crafts,,,
.
,,, are telling them to beleive,,

and they are.

That’s why they are so arogant,, like the bully with an even bigger brother standing behind him to finish the fights he starts,,
,,
,,they have these “ aliens” and “ superior tech and weapons” behind them.,,,

.
/

I don’t need to start my own religion, I have a saving faith in Christianity that suits me just fine.

Seek Jesus if you don’t know him while there is still time please.

I now knock your dust from my sandals.

Yep.

Funny thing is that, like a lot of Freepers, if someone takes issue with what I said, I would be open to considering I was wrong so I could grow from my mistake.

But when people just call you names, you can't very well discuss it.

I dispute those verses having anything to do with civilizations someplace “out there”. I believe the verses do not address that issue. To make those verses explain this particular topic, they must be taken out of context and creatively interpreted.

I read somewhere that forums should be treated as a public debate. We should have no pretenses that we will be able shape the opinion of the other side. Our efforts should be made to convince the readers that our stance has more merit than the other. That merit is strengthened whenever no personal attacks are made against those with the opposing view. On the other hand, the opposing view is damaged whenever they employ diatribe.

That advise has helped me quite a lot with this site. I try, but often fail, to check my anger and stay off the offensive. People here do not handle themselves well.

You weasel.( a description, not name)

I presented those verses to show what fallen angels are capable of, not anything to do with “civilizations”.

But bait and switch diversion is what your intellectual dishonest weasel ilk does best.

Congratulations, your strawman warrior kung fu is exposed for all to see.

(I guess a grain of your silly sand was still stuck to my right sandle.)

At any rate,
God bless your heart

That is a sin of pride. Our advanced physics isn't even 200 years old. Suppose the distant civilization did not experience anything like the Dark Ages? Will new ways of travel eventually emerge for us? A great deal of science fiction has become science fact throughout the recent 200 years.

Is this hopeful dreaming? Yes. Consider:

“Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution.” Albert Einstein

This is a response to just one of your points. We could debate more, or you could just buy some new sandals; for, my dust is really sticky and stains deeply.

Sort of an odd way to debate, given you like us to think of you as a Christian.

WHADDYA MEAN I DON'T HANDLE MYSELF WELL????!?!?

You are the accumulation of the most vile substances ever to be spouted forth from the greasy loins of Hades. You seep of putrid filth from the gutter of a homeless man’s taint. Every time I look in your general direction, I vomit in my mouth and pray for the sweet release of death. Your yuppie smirk tweaks me to drench a thousand innocent puppies in gasoline and set them ablaze like the bowels of the inferno from whence you came. Let the dark pits of hell swallow you up and sodomize you with the grainiest sandpaper on the scorched surface of earth. In the name of all things holy, don’t you ever dare procreate, because if you do, so help me god I will wipe out every tiny allele of your genetic information from the pungent shitstain that is this planet. Until the end of time I will scour the earth for all that you love and dice it into bloody, meaty bits. The mere thought of your petty existence brings tears to my eyes, and summons up a relentless fury inside me that’s sole purpose is to make you rue the day that you were conceived on that contaminated dormroom floor upon which your parents so sweatily fucked. On dark nights when the crescent moon shines and the crickets chirp, I lie awake and contemplate the base and depraved ways I will make your life a living hell until the end of time. When you speak, each time your sleazy mouth flickers open, I do not process your impotent words, yet only seize it as another god-given opportunity to bash your teeth down your moist, scummy gullet. Every movement you make, every single involuntary twitch makes me hate you with more burning passion than the last. I resent you with every ounce of my being; and in the end, with all the strengths inside me, regardless of what cancerous cells overcome my body, or the decrepit condition my aging figure has been reduced to, I will fight to stay alive so I can laugh maliciously in my head as your family whimpers over your untimely demise.

I think the above PROVES I cannot be provoked to anger, and that I handle myself well!

So you concede this point ?

I presented those verses to show what fallen angels are capable of, not anything to do with “civilizations”.

/ or do you ignore it ?

/

That is a sin of pride.

I gave you a reference for the science, you ignored it.

You instead accuse me of the sin of pride.

That’s your idea of debate ?

No thanks.

Now strut and claim victory .

And I really could not care less what you think of my faith /-).

I suspect you are just another tare.

At least you admit to being sticky and staining, so at least there’s that ;-).

Very true.

As the old saying goes: “The true test of a man’s character is what he does when no one is watching.”

That might be expanded to include: "The true test of a man’s character is what he does when no one is watching AND/OR how he behaves toward others anonymously on an internet forum."

Much LOL ... the Bible has numerous scenes of real encounters with greater dimensional variability thqatn our 4D senses are arranged to sense. Not the least of which is in Daniel chapter fifve. The being whose hand wrote upon the wall in palace party central exists in a set of dimensional variables unsesned by the party goers but real in the meaning of physical reality -the hand was attached to an arm which belonged to a body of a real physical being existing in a state of variables greater than the partiers could sense.

When Jesus left the rock tomb without rolling away the stone blocking the entry (an angel rolled it away so the women could see into the empty tomb), His 4D body exited this 4D set of variables and entered a greater set, from which The Risen Lord exited to visit the disciples int he upper room and from which He came to walk with the tywo disciples on the road to Damascus. And there are many more examples of greater dimensional variable set involvement. So, to make the statement that science has proven the 'distances to be too far for interaction is a silly claim. The very term 'distance' may be an assumption by our limits well existence.

I will also add that The Word of God, the Bible, tells us that we have dimensional reality greater than our physical body since It tells us that when we dies as Christians our spirit goes to be with the Lord awqaiting our transformation day when we will be given a glorified body capable of doing the things Jesus did AFTER His resurrection. Each descendant from Adam has a body, a soul or behavior mechanism of mind, emotion, and will, and a spirit.

If there really are aliens and you see one, don’t “shoot first and ask questions later.” That’s not going to end well for us.

The Bible does indeed contain such accounts; and, I believe them. The Bible does not, however, connect those encounters with UFO-related encounters, nor does it address the possibility that Creation includes (or not) many civilizations throughout space. I tend to think of Creation as a really big thing that is above my pay grade.

The UFOnauts are NOT doing anything more heinous to people than people are doing to people. They are also not doing anything to us that we haven't done to animals or other people. That is one thought that leads me to believe they are just flesh and bone, not so extraordinary.

I don’t know if you are familiar with the heavily armed men (US military, intelligence) incident on Skinwalker Ranch.

The “entity” told them to leave.

But—that is just the beginning of the story.

It “followed them home” all the way to their DC suburbs and started terrifying their families with poltergeists.

That is what is called “hitch-hiking”.

Details on these and similar incidents here:

https://www.amazon.com/Skinwalkers-Pentagon-Insiders-Account-Government/dp/B09HR54GQF

Ignore the more sensationalized video variations of this stuff that have muddied the waters.
