I've read the Bible. You see I use to be just like you God fearing, loving people. However, there comes a time when you have to question your authority
Ever wonder why there is a separation between Church and State?
The Church controls your afterlife, and the Government controls your life. So when do YOU take control of the reins. If you become a slave now, you'll always be a slave..
I find it highly intriguing how 90% of the replies to me and Windword are totally biased and filled with contempt and arrogance...
I have a KJV Bible sitting next to my computer filled with marked passages of interest to argue with people just like you. I've shut up pastors and know-it-all Christians alike. I have a lot of questions that can not be answered. If they can not then there is clearly a problem with the religion or belief system.
That includes Church...Look at the Pope, despite what most think he does in fact have control of the others.
I question God all the time. He's big enough to handle it.
Not really. It always made perfect sense to me. "Give to Cesar what is Cesar's"
The church does not control my afterlife. I do, by the choices I make. It is sometimes said that God doesn't send people to hell. They go there willingly. As for my freedom, While I concede that the government attempts to control everyone, Christ is only interested in setting you free.
You say this, and then literally in the next sentence, this:
I'm not catholic. The pope has zero control over me. Edit: I should also mention: There is no such thing as a good Christian. I'm sorry you feel that you have been met with ignorance, or that you feel attacked. That is certainly not my intention. I can't speak for anyone else, but please keep in mind that Christians are Christians precisely because they are flawed.

You all who talk about some Satan deception and stuff are full of Shiiit. First of all, there is no proof that there are other beings and second of all, all point that the Bible was misinterpreted the way it was described and doesn't give literally what happened, also it is Sumerian history knockoff, so I don't know how you blindly follow complete crap. Must be lost in the dimensions to believe so much. I gave enough explanations earlier pages to repeat over again like you do.
What would happen if some jellyfish were found on another planet, would it be a demon too? Full of sh1tedit on 8-7-2012 by Imtor because: (no reason given)

So is Jealousy/Envy an acceptable trait to have, especially for one who contends to be perfect, loving, compassionate and merciful god?

Here is a tip for you: I am quite skeptical about abductions because I am almost certain people have hallucinations or suffer something or simply have these sleep paralysis.
I am also not convinced that there are really any other beings around here, unlike religious people who do and believers in aliens who also are certain. However, if there are, it's most likely to be alien to this world than calling them demons from hell or any of such crap. It's true that some people take the alien stuff as religion but it's far better than using words descrining sm,th you never understood such as gods demons and angels.

My problem with the OP, is that you assume that the most popular interpretation of what God, Demons & Angels are...is true. And this theory is also based on that assumption.
The fact of the matter is, the stories, descriptions & roles of what demons, angels and gods are...has changed over the millenia. Not to mention, the Judeo-Christian Bible was composed of separate stories and prayers that were changed and arranged by politicians, kings and peasants who all had agendas. At one point, none had anything to do with the other....and it was up to priests and politicians to decide what was included and how to arrange them in a manner that appeared to bring cohesion and chronological sense so it can be one book. "The Bible" is not really a book that has always existed, nor was it written by God. It was put together from separate ideas & stories...by men.
There in lies the fallacy of this entire theory.

How many times do I have to rebuke and testify and demonstrate how ultimately ignorant this kind of thinking is ?
When we consider God to be incapable of getting us a simple message, a book, that contains the message he wants us to have. By whatever and any means.
Then you aren't even considering the same God, The Creator, who is our Father in Heaven which in turn is the ultimate subject of this whole damn thread.
So what the fact of the matter truly is ? You don't have a clue of what you're even talking about and there in lies your problem.

[color=#01BDFE]Do you really think what I think comes from Star Trek, Star Wars, or V? The point is, if there were other beings, even from another dimension they would still need to be called aliens (as in not coming from this dimension or simply non-human). Using the words demons, angels, gods is primitive and these definitions must not be used anymore - no matter if they are evil, spiritual, ethereal, corporeal. That's what also Ancient Astronaut Theory is about - saying don't use such primitive words and they are right about it. That's my message.
Unlike the believers, I isolate myself from what Tsoukalos, Childress and others say or rather act as a judge for what they say instead of 'They said it, therefore true!' - it is my own personal observation that too many texts and drawings describe beings from the sky - and describe Machines I do not believe in Time Travel, I DO NOT BELIVE I SAY IT'S POSSIBLE != Believe
The problem is you are not someone who denies existence of other things of any kind, you are denying the existence of what comes as alien by definition to serve your religious propaganda? How does this make you better? Guess what - it does NOT!
Also you are quite mistaken if you call me a believer because maybe you don't pay attention to my posts lately but until I see something better I am rather taking the side of 'no other beings at all all - all starts looking like one giant bs' rather than - demons, devils, satan and such bullcrap made by religion in which you believe which is even worseedit on 10-7-2012 by Imtor because: (no reason given)
