I agree aliens are demonic..
By the time Noah created the ark, most humans were corrupted with angel dna. Noah and his sons were not. God speared them, and the wives of Noajs sons. Years after the flood David killed Goliath who was a giant.

"Then I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a flying roll. And he said unto me, What seest thou? And I answered, I see a flying roll; the length thereof is twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof ten cubits." (Zech. 5:1-2)
In the Old Testament, Zechariah is with an angel, and Zechariah sees a UFO.
He describes it as a 'flying roll'. A roll is of course, like a parchment, or for instance, a cigar shaped UFO.
Descriptions That Verify a Flying Guiding Vehicle

Thanks for posting....
These beings aren't coming from elsewhere. They are quarantined here with mankind. The reason there isn't disclosure is human's would figure out very quickly who they were and what they are up to. Fortunately, there are others who limit their control over us. There are rules of engagement...
Among their human collaborators are two classes: those few who understand more or less who they are dealing with and the rest who are under an almost infinite variety of delusions.
Yeah, please post more if you can.

Well, take a look at todays humans to see what God thought worthy of sparing. So, with what are we coruppted today? Religion a part of that?
History is writen by the victors - which in this case would be the entity or entities responsible for the genocide of part angel humans, and the giants.
According to your mythology, at least.

Why do you think that's the preserve of any group of people with or without faith, or are you just treating this as an excuse to say something derogatory about Christians?
Personally, I don't believe the majority of 'vision' type elements of the Bible were ever meant to be taken literally anymore than the X Files and fairly much anything of that genre should be taken as some kind of proof in the existence of ET life visiting the earth - but for an awful lot of people that's seen as disclosure of some sort. Wanting to believe shows faith, but nothing more.

It’s an honest question. Why don’t christians have any consensus on what it means to be a christian or even what their god is? It seems like a glaring problem with belief in something that is far to subjective to have such solid beliefs.
Would think even they would notice and try to figure this thing out, but there is no way to come to any meaningful conclusion. That is what i don’t understand. How does that escape people? That there is no meaningful conclusion, and that leads to an infinite multitude of various christian sects, each claiming they are closer to the truth.

I used the right word, thanks for that though, although when you say "something that is far to subjective", you actually meant "too subjective", but why split hairs?
My comment was quite straightforward, put a group of people together who think they have the same opinion and if you dig deep enough there will actually be quite a difference of opinion. Ask a group of people who consider themselves at least moderately IT literate what cloud computing means and you will ultimately get different opinions. Ask people in the UK at the moment what Brexit means - different opinions. Nothing faith related, just people have their own ideas.
Ultimately the term Christian means following the teachings of the person known as Christ in the Christian new testament - peace and tolerance. Anything deeper than that is the interpretation given by either a faction of the overall movement or an individual. It's similar to the way that some followers of Islam believe in tolerance and embracing of others, some are more isolationist. It's similar to how some of faith or no faith feel compassion for strangers and need, others choose to shun them and consider themselves and only themselves. It's human nature to hold an opinion, it's certainly not limited to those who profess themselves to be Christian however much you would like it to be.
Do you have to accept all of the gospels? Even the stuff that contradicts itself? What about the rest of the new testament? What about the Old Testament? Are the ten commandments still valid?

The definition of Christian is quite clear.
It is one who accepts their guilt as a sinner before the eyes of a Holy God, and with a repentant (feels sorry) heart, believes on Jesus's sacrifice on the cross, who is God, to pay for their sins, and His bodily resurrection.
Now, you might, well you do get disagreements on how to live as a Christian, in terms of particular doctrine, but to be a Christian, is simply accepting the Gospel.
