I have no idea. Nobody ever addressed that in the Catechism classes I attended.

Christianity and Neo-Liberalism
The Spiritual Crisis in the Orthodox Presbyterian Church and Beyond
by
Paul M. Elliott

describes it pretty well where this ex-Leading Elder of the OPC says

He also documents how consistently the neo-liberals and their moderate allies have made the OPC safe for the promulgation of such soul destroying errors. He sets forth how corrupt manipulation of ecclesiastical politics has prevented any of these false teachers from ever being effectively called to account for their apostasy. All presented with both the Biblical conviction of a true believer and the dispassionate arguments of the trial lawyer this indictment of the OPC grows weightier and weightier page by page. As the reader sits in the jury box he is more and more compelled to register his vote as guilty on all counts as charged.

The final chapter, chapter 10, is a call to separate from the OPC, a denomination that has forsaken the historic gospel, has repudiated the real authority of Scripture, and has become a save haven for false teachers. Having lost the marks of a true church Elliott passionately presents the Biblical commands to separate from apostasy and build a new church on sound and Biblical principles.
So, another splitty-split in the OPC, a quick demise. That's normal. It's time for Satanic spawned cults to die quicker

The Harvard professor, Mack, did intensive research into the phenomenon and concluded that there was sufficient reason to believe the beings reported so frequently all over the world and in different eras, were hostile beings from another dimension.

There is theological discuss from several religions, Vedic, Hebrew, Christian, to support the theory

That may have been a 'cut and paste'...

"Nobody has witnessed anything."

I have witnessed it hundreds of times. Are you calling me a liar?

"Why doesn't the Catholic church serve BOTH elements of communion to its adherents as Christ did with His disciples and commanded us to take both the bread and the cup?"

We do.

Maybe you’d better read up on reception of communion.

So, does the Catholic church teach that there are three gods together who form the godhead since one is not the other, or does it teach that there is one God expressed in three different ways, since there is one God and they are each other, or both or neither?

And does it teach that one must understand the plurality of the Godhead being three in one in order to be saved? Or that anyone is even capable of really understanding what God is trying to explain to us in His description of Himself being three personas in one?

That is good — you believe in the Trinity and the details of the Church as encapsulated in the Nicene Creed. You cannot then be clubbed with any grouping of Unitarians. That’s the tricky thing here — there are Unitarians and other kooky religious cults out there with posters masquerading as Protestants and saying they speak for all Protestants when they themselves are not even Christian.

"I have no idea. Nobody ever addressed that in the Catechism classes I attended."

And you claim to have been an adult RCIA teacher?

and it depends on what Quix means by “PRoddys” — I’ve never heard the term and evidently it seems to include all non-Christians, anti-Catholic groups, so evidently “Proddy” <> Protestant.

Is this a serious question?

Satan can appear as an angel of light. Angels can appear in this material world.

It’s entirely feasible that demons, (fallen angels) could appear in any form they wish if it suits their purpose. And if they wish to deceive people by making them think it’s alien abduction or UFO’s, what’s it to them if they can keep people from turning to the living God and being saved from being damned with them for eternity?

CS Lewis in the Screwtape Letters, does a masterful job with giving insight into the possible methods of he enemy. As he maintains, Satan would have us live a comfortable life and die a comfortable death if it can keep us from ever being shaken out of our stupor to seek out God.

You’ve see a white wafer made of wheat turned into actual flesh and real blood?

You eat literal raw human flesh and drink raw human blood when the priest hands out communion?

It isn’t in appearance a round white wafer he puts in your mouth?

yes, plus Satan is “the Lord of the air” and if UFOs or Marion apparitions are in the air he could be the author of lying wonders

When did they start that?

All the priest ever did for decades was just give people a round white wheat wafer. No one ever handed anyone a cup to drink out of.
