Video is 24:48 in length

I invited people to view this video before commenting (I admit I rarely do that)

I personally believe that these are demonic encounters and the video discusses why (but YMMV) - I mean a close encounter of the 3rd kind, 4th kind, 5th kind specifically

Added you for these threads anyways, because of the comment you made on the other thread - I believe you will find these right in line with what you said about encounters

THREAD PING!

This is the most dramatic of the fist 3 videos I think

They claim the Urantia book is 53% critical of Jesus Christ and Dr. Hugh Ross claims that about 1/3 of the book denies the Deity of Jesus Christ. That would be very critical to Christian.

I totally and unashamedly believe in the Deity of Jesus Christ. I believe He is the Son of God, the Only Messiah and Jesus Christ is Lord. Just to be clear on that one.

I don’t know exactly what these beings are but if they’re denying the Deity of Jesus Christ, I would call them demonic.

YMMV

To: All

Another version:

2 Thessalonians 2:7-14
New King James Version

7 For the Mystery of Lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way.

8 And then the Lawless One will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming.

9 The coming of the Lawless One is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders,

10 and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be Saved.

11 And for this reason God will send them Strong Delusion, that they should believe the lie,

12 that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

Stand Fast

13 But we are bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren beloved by the Lord, because God from the beginning chose you for Salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the Truth,

14 to which He called you by our Gospel, for the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Better still, read the book, Rare Earth: Why Complex Life is Uncommon in the Universe by Peter D. Ward and Donald Brownlee, who explain why the probability of intelligent life on any of the planets around other stars in our galaxy is extremely small..

I posted on another thread

Witness the Angels of God immediately appearing out of a Heavenly dimension (verse 17)

2 Kings 6:15-20
New King James Version

15 And when the servant of the man of God arose early and went out, there was an army, surrounding the city with horses and chariots. And his servant said to him, “Alas, my master! What shall we do?”

16 So he answered, “Do not fear, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them.”

17 And Elisha prayed, and said, “Lord, I pray, open his eyes that he may see.” Then the Lord opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw. And behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.

18 So when the Syrians came down to him, Elisha prayed to the Lord, and said, “Strike this people, I pray, with blindness.” And He struck them with blindness according to the word of Elisha.

19 Now Elisha said to them, “This is not the way, nor is this the city. Follow me, and I will bring you to the man whom you seek.” But he led them to Samaria.

20 So it was, when they had come to Samaria, that Elisha said, “Lord, open the eyes of these men, that they may see.” And the Lord opened their eyes, and they saw;

Hugh Ross builds a very strong case for the encounters to be demonic in origin.

Are you going to post the next episode where he goes to the USSR and talks there?

I would call them demonic.

The two discs I saw (or one disc on two separate occasions) seemed solid enough to me. On the other hand Alestair Crowley's "Lam" demon looks an awful like what are categorized as greys.

WOW (that pic)

Satan transformed pharaoh’s magician’s and sorcerer’s rods into living snakes 🐍🐍🐍

That’s a pretty impressive trick (feat)

Well, Satan can appear as an angel of light.

No doubt he can manifest as an extraterrestrial as well.

It’s interesting that Dr. Ross says that all encounters with these beings are harmful to the people or animals who encounter them.

Whatever their rods were made of, be it wood or other material, to produce live snakes out of that is nothing short of extraordinary. VERY extraordinary.

Yes, I definitely take the Scriptures literally except for the very rare allegory (like Galatians).

40 years ago or so, our church hired a secretary. She believed that the Garden of Eden was an allegory. Good gosh.

The Urantia book is considered a joke by even most fanatical Ufologists.

It is classic alien channeling aka disinformation.

The aliens lie—a lot.

I had never heard of it before

But that picture up above - I couldn’t stomach reading all about Aleister Crowley.

So I had to skim over his “works”

Sounds like he was basically the father of modern Satanism.

Did he claim that as an encounter or a fictional being?

Many years ago I went to a UFO convention in Laughlin, NV.

They had vendor booths and one was selling the Urantia book.

I had not heard of it either—but asked around and the consensus was it was dumb and worthless.

Don’t know. I don’t delve any deeper once I encounter an author that is dealing with anything that smacks of demonics. I rebuke that in the Name of Our Lord, Jesus Christ. It is not welcome in my home.
