There are over 16 ancient "non-Christian" sources for Christ. That means He's real.

The book of enoch talks about the angels that fell and how they came down and taught man many things such as astronomy, metalurgy, medicine, agriculture, etc. If that's the case, why would angels know how to do those things?

Lol, that cracked me up. Let's see here, the biblical god created angels and 1/3 rebelled, that's failure. The biblical god created adam and eve and they failed. Then he had to flood the earth to wipe out mankind, which means failure.
Then god created aliens as a side project and they failed too. This biblical god isn't too good at this stuff is he? Lol. Thanks for that.

Could you explain how you know these other beings don't have free will? Can they not make their own choices and do as they please? If not, how do they come here? I'm not sure you understand what you're talking about.

Do you really know what you are talking about? Aliens being the angels of the past.

And why do they always abduct people? do they consider our lives, safety, mental health? Obviously not!. That sounds like cold heartless stuff. No emotions at all. Having no heart or feelings of "other specie" i must assume that some aliens think were cattle. that being said if you have no emotions you are a careless monster.
In the bible, some time after the flood, God somehow made it so that the fallen angels could no longer materialize physical bodies the way they had before. (A privilege some of them abused when they got busy with 'the daughters of men').
I have always wondered if this was done by removing their access to some kind of "technology", or device. Something that existed partly in the 'spirit realm' and physically on Earth at the same time, like a portal or "stargate".
As per scripture and many other schools of belief, these "fallen ones" can still have an effect on the physical plane, though it seems sporadic and not entirely useful for anything but scaring people (like poltergeists). They are also said to be able to 'possess' people and animals.
In my theory, these techniques take tremendous amounts of concentration and energy for them, but when combined just right, the first steps toward circumventing whatever it was that god did to keep them from having physical bodies were taken.
I know this sounds like far-fetched sci-fi, but the "Grays" resemble human fetuses to me. Perhaps through possession and incubus/succubus activity, they were able to meddle with the DNA of kidnapped (or sacrificed?) human fetuses using alchemical secrets to make "avatars" for themselves.

After all, aliens seem to be more spiritual than physical to me. They can walk through walls and teleport and hover and stop time and there's no proof there's a ship at all.
1. unexplained close encounters are far more numerous than required for any physical survey of the earth;
2. the humanoid body structure of the alleged “aliens” is not likely to have originated on another planet and is not biologically adapted to space travel;
3. the reported behavior in thousands of abduction reports contradicts the hypothesis of genetic or scientific experimentation on humans by an advanced race;
4. the extension of the phenomenon throughout recorded human history demonstrates that UFOs are not a contemporary phenomenon; and
5. the apparent ability of UFOs to manipulate space and time suggests radically different and richer alternatives.
“We are part of a symbiotic relationship with something which disguises itself as an extra-terrestrial invasion so as not to alarm us.”

Thanks for your input. What you say would suggest that these beings are flesh, and could possibly be mortally wounded. It would also seem to me that these beings could be "aliens" as well.
It's pretty amazing that most of the ancient religions talked about beings who came from above and descended down to earth. If they are coming from above, that would suggest that they come from somewhere in space, not a spiritual realm. If they come from somewhere in space, maybe they come from another planet via a wormhole or some other technology we don't know about.
Again, thanks for your input.
